1.2V SLVS Transceiver in UMC 110nm
A 200Mbps 1.2V SLVS transceiver solution.
Overview
A 200Mbps 1.2V SLVS transceiver solution.
This library delivers a compact and reliable 1.2V SLVS transceiver solution in UMC 110nm, optimized for high-speed, low-power applications. Featuring robust supply and ground noise rejection, 2kV HBM ESD protection, and integrated on die termination, this library provides both transmit and receive paths compliant with JESD8-13 SLVS standards at up to 200 Mbps. The library includes core SLVS cells alongside dedicated power, ground, and transition cells for seamless integration with foundry I/O. Post-layout simulations demonstrate excellent PSRR performance, clean eye diagrams across process corners, and stable operation from -40 C to 125 C. With flexible padring construction, bias sharing strategies, and detailed wire bond recommendations, UA11 ensures reliable integration into mixed foundry environments while minimizing area and power overhead.

A Low-Leakage Digital Foundation for SkyWater 90nm SoCs: Introducing Certus’ Standard Cell Library
As semiconductor designs continue to diversify, many successful products are not chasing the most advanced process nodes. Instead, they prioritize power efficiency, reliability, and long-term availability.
Field Induced CDM Explained
Integrated circuits are commonly tested for ESD robustness with 2 tests, Human Body Model (HBM) and Charged Device Model (CDM). Most engineers quickly grasp the procedure for HBM, but the CDM test is often poorly understood. This is unfortunate, because a large fraction of the ESD failures experienced in modern board assembly operations are CDM type failures. This article will describe the events which occur during a CDM test conducted using the widely accepted field induced CDM (FCDM) test.
