Faraday Announces the Industry's Smallest 0.18um Library-miniLib
miniLib™ is an Ultra High Density (UHD) library based on UMC's 0.18µm GII process technology. It comes with approximately 100 functions and 300+ cells and is fully compatible with most major EDA tools. As a consequence of a seamless collaboration with UMC, the library also fully complies with the high-yield volume production flow.
miniLib™ is a standard cell library designed with drastically shrunk area and reduced power consumption. In real ASIC designs with miniLib™ such as MP3 players and pendrive controllers, miniLib™ has achieved a standard cell area reduction of 30% and a power reduction of 25% without any sacrifice in performance as compared to other 0.18µm standard cell libraries.
“Most IP vendors today place their emphasis on developing high performance IPs using advanced process but ignore the importance of maintaining the competitiveness of customers on more matured process technologies”, said Hsin Wang, Associated vice president of R &D at Faraday. “But in fact, many of the end products today still take low power and low cost as highest concerns of their design requirements.”
Availability
miniLib™ library is available today in UMC 0.18µm GII process technology.
