Low (Active) Power Memory

Overview

The low power embedded SP SRAM utilizes a different architecture than typical memory compilers and is designed to be used in SoCs that require low active power consumption. It uses foundry provided bit cell and complements industry’s commercially available embedded memory IP offerings to provide maximum flexibility for designers to meet power and performance goals.

Key Features

  • 35% lower active power
  • 5% higher performance (at the same power level)
  • Supports Retention and Power Down modes, with 65% lower leakage in Power Down mode

Deliverables

  • Design Kit & Tape Kit:
    • Verilog Model and Synopsys Model
    • LVS netlist (CDL format)
    • GDSII layout file (GDSII format)
    • LEF view and Antenna LEF view
    • Antenna CLF model and Mbist model
