Dolphin Integration enables 1P3M/1P4M SoC designs at 180 nm with their ultra high density standard cell library

Meylan, France – May 16, 2011. Celebrated for its cost reduction capability by designers of high volume devices at 180 nm, the standard cell library SESAME uHD-BTF is the best solution whatever the number of metal layers in a SoC implementation!

SESAME uHD-BTF incorporates the latest architectural innovations from Dolphin Integration, replacing classical flip-flops with their “spinner cell”. The Ultra High Density cells leave metal 2 free to ensure more efficient place and route.

The benefit of such innovations is a significant improvement in terms of density and power consumption compared to standard 7-Track libraries at 180 nm: uHD-BTF is up to 30% denser and half as consuming!

The uHD-BTF library also enables to reduce significantly the overall die-cost of applications requiring the use of 1P3M or 1P4M for physical reasons such as in image sensors, and for cost reduction such as in power metering.

Highlights:

• Reduced die cost
• Metal 1 only is used for cell design
• Specific High Density Flip Flop
• Ultra low Dynamic
•  Half as consuming by design as foundry-sponsored solutions
• A Low Voltage and a Dual Voltage variants are also available

Have a look at the Product Brief.

Due to the diversity of foundries addressed, make sure to ask for your preferred foundry and process variants and shrinks.
