Dolphin Integration strengthens their portfolio of Standard Cell libraries with the DUAL innovation targeting Low Power designs

Meylan, France – January 18th, 2010. The HD-BTF Dual Voltage RCSL (Reduced Cell Stem Library) is the latest demonstration of Dolphin Integration’s technical know-how on Low Power Silicon IPs.

The new HD-BTF.DV library is first released for the TSMC 180 nm uLL technological variant.

HD-BTF.DV is the custom tailored standard cell library of medical applications, power sensitive nomad applications and battery-driven industrial applications:

• With a capability to operate at 1.1 V, HD-BTF.DV enables SoC designers to adapt the voltage level for the operating mode with impressive dynamic power savings
• Functioning at 1.1 V allows dividing the power consumption by more than 3 in active mode!

Besides impressive power reduction, HD-BTF.DV is also made for guaranteeing to Fabless the lowest fabrication cost:

• Cell layout optimized to ensure the highest density after routing
• 1 metal layer used for layout enabling full routing with only 3 metal layers
• HD-BTF.DV also incorporates the latest architectural innovations from Dolphin Integration replacing classical flip-flops with their “spinner cell”

SoC power budget can now be achieved even more easily by combining the HD-BTF.DV library with Dolphin Integration’s solutions for a low power architectural implementation based on multi-voltage islets:

• The patented Cassiopeia ROM architecture with double-metal programming, dROMet
• The Pluton architecture for sRAM
• The SRI, a switching capacitor DC-DC regulator requiring only one external capacitor

With HD-BTF.DV, SoC optimization no longer requires compromise between power consumption and density!

The SOFIA benchmark is released for a free, fast and fully reliable assessment.
