Triad Semiconductor Unveils Solution to End High-priced ASICs with Via-Only Technology at Military & Aerospace Electronics Forum

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Triad Semiconductor Inc., the industry`s leading supplier of via-configurable
mixed-signal ASICs, will demonstrate its via-configurable array (VCA) technology
and products implementing the technology in Booth #212 at the Military &
Aerospace Electronics Forum in San Diego, CA from June 1-2, 2009.

What:

Triad Semiconductor`s via-configurable array (VCA) technology integrates analog,
digital, memory and radiation-hardened resources onto pre-configured ASIC
arrays. Unique to Triad`s patented VCA approach is the ability to configure and
interconnect this rich set of resources using only a single via mask layer. This
approach enables the re-use of silicon-proven IP, reduces engineering and
tooling costs, and improves development time. Alternatives available to
designers of mission-critical military and space systems, which demand high
performance and reliability in their ICs, are either cost- or power-prohibitive,
or both. Triad and its design team - 100% U.S. citizens - support ITAR and
Trusted Foundry design flows for secure applications. Please see

detail.

When:

Monday, June 1, from 9:30 am - 6:30 pm and Tuesday, June 2, from 10:00 am - 3:00
pm

Where:

Booth #212, San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA. For additional
