Dolphin Integration, the innovator of Virtual Components for density and power optimized subsystems, announces the SESAME BIV standard cell library as a major innovation for ultra low leakage always-on logic block.
SESAME BIV standard cell library extends the RCSL offer (Reduced Cell Stem Libraries) by delivering a leakage reduction of 1/350 for a silicon footprint up to 7x denser for a 5,000-gate block implemented with a usual HVT standard cell combined with its dedicated low quiescent linear regulator.
SESAME BIV is ideal for always-on clock islets such as real-time clocks (RTC) as well as RF or voice awakening devices.
SESAME BIV incorporates the key features needed for such always-on logic islets:
- A patented Flip Flop to reliably sustain operating voltage range from 1.2 V up to 3.3 V, eliminating the need for a voltage regulator
- A design based on 2.5 V transistors with overdriven thick gates and 10-track cells to get a higher density
- Data retention guaranteed at very low voltage (e.g. 0.5 V at 65 nm) for ultimate power savings
“Decreasing power is a global requirement requiring diverse solutions where SESAME BIV illustrates Dolphin Integration’s commitment to go beyond a standard offering for low leakage. SESAME BIV enables an innovative but safe, energy efficient, and dense implementation of critical logic”, announces Elsa BERNARD-MOULIN, Library Marketing Manager. “We are glad to announce that Customers of major foundries such as TSMC and Global Foundries have already selected this SESAME BIV”.
