Overview

The agileDSCL is a compact Digital Standard Cell Library customizable for specific foundries and processes, and optimized for low-power, ultra-low-leakage, high-density or high-speed applications. It provides a selection of standard cells with functionalities essential to implement digital designs, with an additional power management library to support the implementation of low-power designs.

Agile Analog designs are based on tried and tested architectures to ensure reliability and functionality. Our design methodology is programmatic, systematic and repeatable leading to analog IP that is more verifiable, more robust and more reliable. Our methodology also allows us to quickly re-target our IP to different process options. We support all the major foundries including TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Intel Foundry, Samsung Foundry, UMC and Other Foundries.

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.

Why 28nm is the New Strategic Node?

If someone had predicted fifteen years ago that 28nm would still be the foundation for many new chip designs, the idea might have seemed unlikely. Process technology was advancing rapidly, and the industry’s attention was firmly fixed on shrinking geometries. Each new node promised more transistors, greater integration, and higher performance.

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.
