Customer Integrated Circuits ASIC (F)PLD FPGA PAL Gate Array Full Custom Std Cell SoC SoPC CPLD PLD ASIC= Application Specific Integrated Circuit Gate Array= Prefabricated wafer with logic+added interconnections (metal layers). Vol > 10k Standard Cell = Library with components (e.g. gates, multiplexors, flip-flops). Precompiled on transistor level. Vol >100k Full Custom = Transistor level design. Used for analog circuits. SoC = System on Chip. Processors and logic on chip. FPLD = Field Programmable Logic Device. FPGA = Field Programmable Gate Array. >1 milj gates! PLD = Programmable Logic Device CPLD = Complex PLD. <10k gates SoPC = System on Programmable Chip Custom Designed Integrated Circuits

  16. VLSI words • 0.25 micron process, 0.13 micron process, 0.09 micron process:smallest dimension in a transistor is 0.25 micro meter etc • Cu- layers. Copper is used for the metal layers => lower resistance in the signal wires. 9 metal layers is not unusual! • 6 inch wafer, 8 inch wafer: Diameter is 6 inches, 8 inches (newest). • NRE (Non Recurring Engineering costs. Includes e.g. mask set costs. NRE increases with new (smaller) technology Custom Designed Integrated Circuits

  17. NRE cost evaluation • Typical cost for an ASIC in 0.18 m is $5 millions, in 0.13 m $10 millions. Future 0.45 m will cost more than $15 millions. • Only Asic’s in very high volumes possible (>100k, >1000k) • Possible solutions to ASIC cost problem: • “Structured ASIC”: Modern Gate Array (GA) with more complex building blocks than traditionally GA’s. • Converted FPGA to “Hardwired FPGA” => faster, cheaperhttp://www.altera.com/products/software/pld/products/q2/qts-index.html?xy=qts-gif Custom Designed Integrated Circuits
