1.1.2 Targeted Applications


The FS9000A standard cell family is especially tailored for high performance, low power and high
integration user-specific design applications in the high speed Electronic Data Processing,
Computing, Graphics, Telecommunications and portable markets. Complex and rich cells of
FS90A_A library also makes nowadays synthesize tools easier to meet the smaller, faster design
goal. These cells include:
• Various driver strength cell supported
• Rich set of AOI / AO / OAI / OA complex cells
• AND / OR with inverted inputs
• Single output for Flip-Flops and Latches

1.2 Cell Library


The FS9000A standard cell library includes the primitive cell library, the I/O cell library, RAM/ROM
blocks, and Megacell functional blocks.

1.2.1 Fundamental Core Cell Library


The FS9000A standard cell family is supported by an extensive family of internal SSI and MSI
macrocells.

NR ...................................... NOR gates
OAI/OA ...................................... OR into NAND/AND complex gates
OR/ORxBy ...................................... OR / inverted input
PAR/CMPE ...................................... Parity Generators / Equal Comparator

XNR/XOR ...................................... Exclusive NOR and OR gates
DFF/DBF/DFZ/QDF ...................................... D-type Flip Flops/scan/single output

T/QT ...................................... Toggle Flip Flops/single output
DL/DBH/ QDL/QDBH ...................................... Latches/single output
NDL/NRL ...................................... SR Latches
RAM ...................................... RAM bit

Most logic functions are available in more than one drive version. For instance, the 2-input NAND
gate is available as ND2L, ND2, ND2A, ND2P, ND2B, ND2T, and ND2F. The driving capability is
ND2L < ND2 < ND2A < ND2P < ND2B < ND2T < ND2F. The higher drives makes use of the larger
transistor sizes and therefore has shorter delays for high fan-out nets. The lower drives, on the
other hand, will always occupy lower silicon space and lower power consumption.

1.2.3 Embedded Functional Block Design Considerations


For embedded functional blocks, the user should design the application logic such that the Chip
Select input is normally at the Standby state. The Chip Select input should be asserted prior to the
activation of the embedded blocks.

1-2
Faraday Technology Corp. ô
FS9000A 0.25 m Standard Cell Data Book

Testing embedded functional blocks can be easily accomplished if the user includes parallel
access logic around the blocks. This logic is in the form of simple multiplexers. The inputs to the
blocks can be directly accessed through properly selecting the multiplexers. Likewise, outputs
from the blocks can be directly monitored through properly selecting another set of multiplexers.
The control signals for the multiplexers are most simply done by dedicating one input pin as the
Test pin.

To minimize timing constraints, it is also recommended that latches be added to the SRAM
outputs. After the necessary parallel direct access logic is included into the design, RAM or ROM
test patterns can be inserted very easily. The user should create a test pattern where the direct
access logic is enabled. RAM and ROM vectors will then be implemented at the factory level.

1.2.4 The Definition of Cell Unit


In the datasheet, "cell unit" is used to represent the complexity of the cells. Actually, it is
proportional to the physical cell size. Another kinds of unit is the "gate count" or "gate equivalent",
which is a structure from which a 2-input NAND gate or a 2-input NOR gate can be built. The
relationship between "cell unit and "gate equivalent" is
“gate equivalent” = “cell unit” / 2.85
The "gate equivalent" is just for design reference.

1.3 I/O Cells

1.3.8.2. Application Usage of True 2.5V Programmable Oscillator Cells

Figure 1-28 shows example of application circuit of crystal oscillator cells-USCIOALA &
USCIOAHA. All the configuration pins can be hard-wired for level1 users. Level2 users can use
the IO configuration file for programmable usage after silicon. Both level1 and level2 users should
refer "Programmable Oscillator Configuration Table"(see data sheet) for application. The oscillator
circuit contains one cell with two pads I & IO, crystal and external capacitors C1&C2. The circuit
constraints and electrical characteristics greatly depend on crystal and package conditions on
printed circuit board. Consult crystal supplier for more information.
USCIOALA and USCIOAHA can be connected in parallel only for level2 users. The application
circuit is also shown in Figure.1. It is capable of operating with 32KHz crystal or with 3M~50MHz
crystal. When low frequency application is needed, USCIOAHA has to be set to "Parallel" mode
to save power; when mid/high frequency is needed, USCIOALA has to be set to "Parallel" mode.

So do USCIOALB and USCIOAHB similarly.

Please contact your local AEs for detail information.

1.5 AC Characteristics
1.5.1 Derating Factors
The speed of a MOS device is dependent on voltage and temperature factors. In addition to these
2 factors, there is also process variation. Performance prediction is done based on a combination
of these three factors. The central operating condition is characterized at 2.5V, 25oC and typical
process parameters. The other conditions are normalized from the central operating conditions.
The most commonly operating points are listed as below.

@3.3V : Best case 0 oC,3.6V ; Typical case 25 oC, 3.3V ; Worst case 115 oC, 3.0V

The following equation shows how the overall derating factor is determined :

Κ tot = ΚT × ΚV × ΚP
where :
Κ tot = Total derating factor
ΚT = Factor due to junction temperature
ΚV = Factor due to operating voltage
ΚP = Factor due to process variation

To predict the real world performance of the design, the propagation delay of the macrocell is
evaluated under three cases:

1. Typical case: At 2.5V, 25oC, and typical processing, the derating factor is:
Κtot = ΚT × ΚV × ΚP = 1 × 1 × 1 =1

2. Best case: At 2.7V,0oC, and best processing, the derating factor is:
Κtot = ΚT × ΚV × ΚP
= 0.95 × 0.92 × 0.8
= 0.70
and the propagation delay will be
Κtot × Ttyp = 0.70×Ttyp

2. Worst case : At 2.3V,115oC and worst processing, the derating factor is:
Κtot = ΚT × ΚV × ΚP
= 1.19 × 1.08 × 1.24
= 1.59
and the propagation delay will be
Κtot × Ttyp = 1.59 × Ttyp

The precision of the propagation delay is ensured by a well-defined characterization process. The
complete delay equation incorporate the non-linear slope and loading effects with adjustment
parameters for process, temperature and voltage variation. The rise and fall time is characterized
respectively. A simplified version of delay equation is as follows:

Tpd = Κ tot * ( T0 + K * CL + Q * SW )

where Κtot = process, temperature and voltage variation factor


T0 = Intrinsic delay of the macrocell
K = Marginal delay per pico farad (pf)
CL = Fanout and interconnect capacitance
Q = Marginal delay per Unit slope
SW = Unit slope representing fanout and interconnect capacitance

For pre-route and post-route simulations, more accurate and complex delay calculation is applied
by the Central Delay Calculator software. For pre-route simulation, the Central Delay Calculator
takes the output fanout, chip dimension, routing area and grouping information into consideration
from the empirical statistics. For post-route simulation, the actual wire delay is extracted by the
layout extraction tool and is accompanied with the macro cell delay to reflect the physical timing
behavior of the design.

1.5.3 Timing Definitions


The timing definitions for both internal core macrocells and Input/Output buffers are listed in this
section.

1.5.3.1 Internal Core Macrocells

All timing delays for internal macrocells are characterized at the 50% point to 50% point. This
includes propagation delay times through combinatorial functions as well as setup, hold time and
release time definitions for sequential elements.

1.5.3.2 Primary Input Buffers

Timing delays are measured at input trip points that are defined by the type of function being
characterized. Output trip points are always measured at the 50% trip point.

1.5.4 AC Power Consumption and Power Model

The AC power consumption includes power consumption within the cell and power consumption
by external load. The power consumption within the cell is the power required to charge and
discharge inside the cell. It can be modeled by a well-defined characterization process. The
precise power model incorporates the non-linear slope and loading effects with adjustment
parameters for process, temperature and voltage variation. The rise and fall toggle power
consumption is characterized individually and modeled on an average base. The power (energy)
consumption by external load can be simply expressed as: CV2/2

where C = external load


V = supply voltage
