Your information will be useful in determining future directions in our library development. AuE Scalable CMOS (SCMOS) Libraries ----------------------------------- AuE has completed a new release of its SCMOS Standard Cell and IO SCMOS Cell Libraries. The new release, dlmV3.0, is an updated version of the previous release dlmV2.3. The new AuE SCMOS IO Cell libraries, AuEPads2.0, AuEPads1.2, and AuEPads0.8, are updated versions of AuE's previous IO library (collectively known as itdpads1.0) containing new IO cells designed at feature sizes of 2um, 1.2um, and 0.8um. Also available are the itdpads1.0, consisting of 1.6, 2, and 3-micron IO cells. dlmV3.0 ------- o 104 unique functions (68 leaf cells and 36 macro cells). o All leaf cells are 78 lambda high with 20 lambda high power rails (58 lambda high with 10 lambda high power rails). A "C" program is distributed with the library that automatically sizes the power rails. o All leaf cells were designed using the MOSIS Rev7 SCMOS design rules with minor rule modifications for submicron scalability (scalable from 0.8 to 3-microns). o Macro cells are currently accessible only through the LagerIV tool set, but may be ported to different design environments by AuE upon request. Functions include: Counters Decoders 16X Buffer Multiplexors 2-Phase Clock Generator Scan D-FFs N-bit Comparator Shift Registers 2-Phase D Flip-Flops Zero Detect AuEPads ----------------- o 25 unique cells in each technology size (2um, 1.2um, and 0.8um). o Abide by MOSIS Rev7 SCMOS design rules. o Functions include: slew rate controlled output pads impedance matched output pads clock driver input pads both inverting and non-inverting input pads tri-state input/output pad TTL to CMOS input pad CMOS to TTL output pad 4mA, 8mA, and 16mA output pads schmitt trigger input pad Distribution ------------ The AuE SCMOS libraries may be obtained via FTP or cartridge tape. Library distributions via FTP are in compressed tar format and include data books (in post-script and Frame formats) containing schematic and delay information. NO DISTRIBUTION CHARGE. Distributions shipped on cartridge tape are in tar format. Bound Library data books are shipped with the tape. DISTRIBUTION CHARGE: $150 for one library, $250 for all libraries. NOTE: Orders must be accompanied by a signed licensing agreement. For more information, contact AuE (email: cells@aue.com). Purchase orders cannot be accepted. For distributions on tape, please send a check payable to Advanced Microelectronics. _______ / | ====/ |============================================================== | / | Dan Johnson Advanced Microelectronics | | / | CAD Operations Manager 1080 River Oaks Drive | | \ | Fax: (601)932-7621 Suite A-250 | | |Jackson | Phone: (601)932-7620 Jackson, MS | | / * | danj@AuE.com 39208 | ===/ |============================================================== |______ | / | \____| From pyro@corona.AuE.com Thu Sep 3 11:34:13 1992 Return-Path: Received: from AuE.com (corona-bb.AuE.com) by shannon.tisl.ukans.edu (4.1/KU-1.4.1) id AA10385; Thu, 3 Sep 92 11:34:11 CDT Received: from eldorado.AuE.com by AuE.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA09277; Thu, 3 Sep 92 10:41:46 CDT Date: Thu, 3 Sep 92 10:41:45 CDT From: pyro@corona.AuE.com (Dave Lindley (a.k.a.

She should have it out to you today via U.S. mail. Right now, we only have the dlmV3.0 library and AuEPads1.2 completed. We plan to have the AuEPads0.8 and AuEPads2.0 libraries completed by end of September. We're also working on adding 2um delay information to the dlmV3.0 databook. Right now it only contains 1.2um information. We'll send you email when this work is completed so that you can ftp it over to your site. We currently have ready to release the existing dlmV3.0 library and databook, the AuEPads1.2, and the old itdpads1.0 (3um, 2um, and 1.6um IO libraries).

We also release magic with a signed software license agreement. Would you be interested it that.

We have added a very good HSpice extractor, added BJT capability to the spice extractor, a Mentor Graphics/SDD GDT Lsim netlist extractor, fixed some memory management problems, added some rules to the ext styles (magic previously didn't properly extract some capacitences), and have rewritten the drc section to properly check the MOSIS rules. We are currently making some changes to the cif read/write sections of the technology file. Right now, you cannot write and read cif for the IOs due to the way magic bloats the well from the diffusion. If several cif write/reads occur, vdd will short to gnd via the nwell. When our latest mods to the tech file are finished, this won't happen.

I'm sorry it's taken so long for us to complete them. To ftp the libraries, ftp to corona.aue.com (192.136.108.19). Log in as "anonymous" and use your email address as the passwd. Change directory to pub/mdu. There is a README file there that describes what is what. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will leave the read permissions set until 9am CST on 8 October, 1992. Let me know if that is not enough time for you to transfer the files.
