DpRFile BDS Eris LV generator SMIC / TSMC 130 G
PRELIMINARY
High Density |
Low Power / Low Voltage |
Despite dynamic power reduction made possible by more advanced process nodes, the increasing complexity of designs results in a real challenge to get power consumption back in control.
To address this power challenge, a solution is to select a multiple voltage architecture with blocks running independently at different voltages depending on the operating modes and frequency targets. However, this demands a complete solutions for all elements of the logic design.
The solution is introduced with a complete Low Voltage Panoply of memories, registers and standard cells by Dolphin Integration. The Low Voltage Panoply is characterized for 0.9 V +/-10% for the 130 nm technological process and includes:
- The Density optimized Standard Cell Library, SESAME HD LV.
- The One Port Register File (1PRFile) Aura LV architecture optimized for high density and speed.
- The spRAM Haumea LV architecture optimized for low dynamic power and density.
- The Eris architecture of dual port memory register (2R/2W) which allows power and cost reduction.
