Overview

TSMC 180 BCD, SESAME uHD for ultra high-density logic design thanks to 6-track cells combined with pulsed latch cells acting as spinner cells (densest alternative to flip-flops).

Key features

  • Ultra High-Density
  • Up to 19% denser after P&R compared to existing 7-Track library
  • 6-Tracks logic library for optimal area reduction
  • Pulsed latches as Spinner Cells instead of flip-flops: for up to 30% gain in density at cell level
  • Up to 63% less power consuming than competition
  • Only Metal 1 used in layout
  • Ideal for slow to medium speed logic blocks
  • With smooth implementation
  • Pulse generator insertion automated by a script
  • Spinner cell design minimizing hold time violations
  • Low dynamic power
  • Dual voltage characterization to support a wide operating voltage range from 1.8 V +/-10% to 1.1 V +/-10%
  • Reduction of dynamic power consumption by 2.5x when operating at low voltage
  • Leakage divided by 2 compared to sponsored offering

Methodology to lower supply voltage of standard cell libraries

Standard cells libraries are usually designed to operate at a specific value of supply voltage referred to as “nominal voltage”. This article details the performance trade-offs in terms of power consumption and speed when decreasing power supply voltage, as well as a methodology to determine the lowest value to use.

Breaking new energy efficiency records with advanced power management platform

The free lunch offered for decades by Moore’s law is now over and scaling down to the next technology node no longer offers the required energy efficiency gains. Design teams must now pursue their gains by deploying increasingly complex power management techniques to meet the demands of the new IoT markets.
