Triscend was a pioneering semiconductor manufacturer, founded in 1997 and later acquired by Xilinx (now part of AMD) in 2004. The company specialized in Configurable System-on-Chip (CSoC) solutions, which combined a dedicated processor core with programmable logic on a single chip. This innovative approach provided designers with a flexible, integrated platform that simplified embedded system development and accelerated time-to-market. Triscend's flagship products, such as the TA7S and TE5 series, were based on ARM processor cores and offered a unique blend of performance and programmability. The company played a significant role in promoting the adoption of configurable computing and left a lasting impact on the embedded systems industry.
