LIBRARY

The CB45000 Series library is organized into four

categories:

s

SSI cell library

s

IO Cell library

s

Macrofunctions

s

Module generators

SSI CELL LIBRARY OVERVIEW

The design of the CB45000 family has been

optimized to allow extremely high density, high

speed and low power designs. For these reasons

a wide range of cells with different ranges of

driving capability are available in the library.

The library cells have been optimized in term of

functional and electrical parameters in order to

have:

s

Good balancing

s

Maximum speed

s

Optimum Threshold voltage

s

Symmetric Vdd/Vss Noise margin

s

Minimum Power-Speed figure

The

geometrical

aspect

of

the

cells

was

configured to allow extremely dense design, fully

exploiting the features of the Place and Route

tool in terms of horizontal and vertical routing

grids. For Place and Route, up to five levels of

metal are utilized. Intracell wiring is limited as far

as possible to first metal, with second, third and

fourth metal levels dedicated to interconnect

wiring and power distribution. The fifth metal is

used for power and clock bussing.

CORE LOGIC

The propagation delays shown in the CB45000

data book are given for nominal processing, 3.3V

operation, and 25 C temperature conditions.

However there are additional factors that affect

the delay characteristics of the macrocells. These

include loading due to fanout and interconnect

routing, voltage supply, junction temperature of

the device, processing tolerance and input signal

transition time.

Prior to physical layout, the design system can

estimate the delays associated with any critical

path. The impact of the placement and routing

can be accurately RC back annotated from the

layout for final simulations of critical timing. The

supply

on

the

delay

numbers

are

summarized in Table 2 and Table 2. A third factor,

is

associated

with

process

variation.

This

multiplier has a minimum of 0.8 and a maximum

of 1.2.
