Leakage divided by more than 250 at 180 nm eLL with Dolphin Integration Panoply of memory and standard cells

Meylan, France – August 26, 2011. As electronic intelligence is pervading battery-powered consumer and industrial devices, their Systems On Chip must come up with more complex features - while limiting the impact on power consumption and die cost.

Such power sensitive applications must rely on architectures of Silicon IPs which enable:

• The best combination of logic density and power consumption
• Islets with diverse low power modes: multi voltage, retention, extinction
• Capability for efficient operation at ultra low voltage

Dolphin Integration is the unique provider to address all of such challenges at the architectural level with the launch of a complete Panoply of Memories and Standard Cells for the new 180 nm eLL process at TSMC.

Dolphin Integration's Panoply is a comprehensive set of silicon IPs for low power and Dual Voltage

• Single Port RAM generator
• Standard Cell library of the celebrated Reduced Cell Stem flavor
• Metal programmable ROM generator
• Efficient Power Regulators

Benchmark results of Dolphin SpRAM versus Standard SpRAM at 180 nm 
 

• 5% denser  
• Twice less leaky in G process, 250 times less leaky in eLL process!
• 3 times less dynamic power in G and eLL process!
• Support for low voltage down to 1.2 V for additional power savings

For building ultra low power islets at 180 nm eLL

• Low voltage operation enabled down to 1.2 V
• Low Power cells for power gating and state retention of logic blocks
• Embedded power switches for partial or complete shut down of memory blocks
• UPF/CPF compatibility

For right-on-first-pass silicon

• TSMC 9000 qualification
• Design methodology ensuring functionality at low voltage
