LTRIM Technologies is a development-stage fabless semiconductor company, engaged in the design and development of high-performance analog integrated circuit products. LTRIM was created in 1998 to commercialize the results of a three-year R&D project carried out by its founders at the École Polytechnique de Montréal (one of Canada's leading post-secondary engineering institutions) between January 1998 and May 2000. |
LTRIM's mission is to exploit its patented laser fine-tuning technology to develop and market high-performance analog integrated circuit (IC) products, and to position its laser fine-tuning technology as an analog-digital integration solution in the emerging system-on-a-chip market (SoC).
Although LTRIM' fine-tuning technology can be applied fruitfully to virtually all high-performance ICs, its first product will be aimed at the $600 million high-performance voltage reference/regulator market. The sector's rapid growth is being fueled by growing demand for portable electronic systems - laptops, handheld computers, cell phones, and so on. With a view to exploiting this remarkable growth, LTRIM is developing a family of voltage reference/regulator semiconductor products. These will be introduced to the market before the end of 2003.
Target markets
Later on, LTRIM's will continue to take advantage of its core laser fine-tuning technology to introduce other products that will target amplifier (OP AMP), phase lock loop (PLL), oscillators, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) markets.
