SMIC 0.18μm 5V-2.8/1.8V

This IP is a Low-Dropout (LDO) 5V to 2.8V and 1.8V power regulator in SMIC 0.18μm 3.3V/1.8V Logic process.

Overview

This IP is a Low-Dropout (LDO) 5V to 2.8V and 1.8V power regulator in SMIC 0.18μm 3.3V/1.8V Logic process. When it works in regulation region, the max rated output currents are both 60mA
and the current limits are both about 120mA. When it works in dropout region, the typical dropout voltage is 150mV @IOUT28=60mA for 2.8V output. In addition, this particular physical IP has the scaled up version (1176% scaled-up) of
SMIC18_PRG_12B which is designed to be used in foundry’s 0.153um (85% shrink) process.

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.
