Overview
Introduction
The ASIC ATC18RHA Design Manual presents all the required information and flows for 0.18µm
designs for aerospace applications, allowing users to view Atmel specific or standard commercial tool kits and methodological details for actual implementations.
This offering is a 0.18µm CMOS technology based, using 5 Metal layers, and specified with the
3.3V or 2.5V range for the periphery, and with the 1.8V range for the core. The technology
parameters and some extra features are described here after.
Periphery
Buffers Description
The peripheral buffer (also called pad) is the electrical interface between the external signals
(voltage range from 0 to 3.3V) and the internal core signals (from 0 to 1.8V).
Several Power Supply rails are used inside the chip.
The ATC18RHA buffer family is called I033 family:
• VCCB = 3.3V (3V to 3.6V) and 2.5V (2.25V to 2.75V)
IO33 family contains:
• Bidirectional pads
• Tristate Output pads
• Output Only pads
• Input Only pads (Inverting,Non-Inverting,Schmitt Trigger)
Furthermore the Bidirectional, Tristate Ouputs and Input Only pads are available with or without
Pull-Up or Pull-Down structures.
Specific pads have been developed in 3.3V and 2.5V:
• LVDS transmitter and Receiver differential pads
• LVPECL Receiver differential pads
And, in 3.3V only:
• PCI Bidirectional, Tristate Output and Output Only pads
Standard pads Input level compatibility
• IO33: CMOS,LVTTL compatible
Tolerance and Cold
Sparing Features
All IO33 pads are Cold Sparing. This means that when VCCB is “off” these pads have a negligible leakage current.
Furthermore standard IO33 pads (PCI,LVDS,LVPECL excepted) are tolerant. This means that
when
2
•
the pad is configured as an input
•
VCCB is < 3.3V (ex 2.5V)
•
The external signal can go up to 3.3V (max 3.6V) with negligible leakage current.

ATC18RHA
Clusters
The periphery of the chip (pad ring) can be split into several I/O segments (I/O clusters) which
can be supplied at different voltages (ie “n” clusters at 2.5V and “m” clusters at 3.3V). Some
clusters can be unpowered while others are active.
A specific Power control line is distributed inside the cluster to be able to force all the I/Os of the
cluster in tristate mode whatever their initial state is (ie: an output only buffer will also be turned
to HiZ mode).
This Power Control line can be driven in two ways:
ESD Protection
•
Cold Sparing mode: the Power control line is active when VCCB is “off” (case of VCCB
Power Supply Pad including a Power Control feature).
•
Hot Swap mode: a specific pad in the cluster is dedicated to Power Control. When this pad
is left open (driven to “0” by an internal pull-down) the Power Control line is activated.
The introduction of a multiple supply architecture increases the sensitivity to Electro-Static Discharges. In ATC18RHA periphery, the VCCB,VSSB supplies are isolated from VCC, VSS
supplies and furthermore when making clusters, the VCCB supply rail is split into several
segments.
A solution to improve ESD immunity consists in adding discharge conduction paths between
supply rails. To implement this solution some specific cells must be inserted in the Pad Ring.
Two kinds of cells are used:
•
Back to Back Diodes between VSSB and VSS
•
Grounded N-Gates between two VCCB segments
Some ESD cells are “pad count” transparent (implemented in the Die Corners) but others must
be taken into account in the Pad Ring definition (each ESD cell has the size of a standard pad).
Double Pad Ring
In the double pad ring configuration, all core power supply pads must be moved to the inner ring
and PV18IxxZ pads must be replaced by PV18IDxxZ pads. Therefore, there must be no
PV18ID00Z or PV18ID18Z pads left on the outer ring .
The number of pads on the inner ring will be tailored to the actual need of each design.
These core supplies are automatically routed to the inner ring. As long as the double pad ring
configuration is used only for core supply pads, the designs are produceable to space quality
levels.
During the detailed feasibility study, an investigation will be conducted to evaluate if additional
pads, and how many, can be added to the inner ring to be used as pure CMOS IO and their
power supplies, and still be produced to space quality. Anyhow, the resulting total number of
pads on the inner ring must not go above the maximum number given in the table 4.
Warning: there is no means to have any LVDS IO and their power supplies moved to the inner
ring.
Pad Site and Pad Pitch In the ATC18RHA95 family the minimum Pad Width and Pad Pitch are 95µm.
Case of Differential Pads
•
LVDS transmitter: width= 3x95µm and pitch= 190µm
•
LVDS Receiver and LVPECL Receiver : width= 2x95µm and pitch=95µm

4261F–AERO–08/08
PCI Buffers
The PCI buffers are based on the 3.3V PCI standard where Inputs are required to be clamped to
both ground and VCCB (3.3V) rails. To be also Cold Sparing these buffers are:
• Cold sparing when VCCB=0V (clamped to VSSB only)
• clamped to VCCB and VSSB when VCCB=3.3V
The PCI family includes 3 buffer types:
• PP33B01Z : Bidirectional
• PP33T01Z : 3-state Output
• PP33O01Z : Output only
The PCI drive strength is almost equivalent to the standard IO33 Drive 08. The main differences
are:
• the non tolerance
• the input trigger levels which are slightly lower (VIH min = 0.5 x VCCB V)
LVDS Buffers
The LVDS family is based on the ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 Standard. It is composed of:
•
a Voltage /Current Reference (PL33REFZ or PL25REFZ).
•
a transmitter buffer (PL33TXZ or PL25TXZ) with Outp and Outn differential outputs.
•
a receiver buffer (PL33RXZ or PL25RXZ) with Inp and Inn differential inputs.
The 3 pads are Cold Sparing (high impedance when VCCB=0V) but they are tolerant only when
they are disabled (ien = “1” or oen = “1”).
The LVDS standard transmission levels are +/- 350mV differential around 1.25V common mode.
As these levels are tight to achieve in military temperature range the PL33REFZ/PL25REFZ pad
provides 2 references to the other LVDS pads of the same cluster:
•
the external Ref voltage which is used by transmitter only to force the common mode
voltage (Vref)
•
a current reference which is used by both transmitter and receiver (Iref).
The LVDS Tx takes the place of three standard I/O pads and the LVDS Rx takes the room of
two.
LVPECL Buffer
The PE33RXZ/PE25RXZ PECL buffer is a simplified version of PL33RXZ/PL25RXZ LVDS
buffer. It is a differential input with LVPECL levels and it does not need Ref. So it can be implemented inside a standard IO33 cluster.
The PECL RX occupies two standard I/O places.
Power “On/Off”
Sequence
4
In a multiple Power Supplies application the discrepancy between various supply rise/fall times
may induce high currents through the ESD protection clamping diodes during Power on/off
sequences.
ATC18RHA
4261F–AERO–08/08
ATC18RHA
The typical case is when an external signal is applied on an input with Vih > VCCB + 400mV.
The input current is mainly limited by the external signal generator impedance.
If many inputs are in that configuration the resulting current may damage the circuit.
Tolerant inputs are not clamped to VCCB (ATC18RHA standard IO33 family) so this potential
problem is present only on non tolerant inputs which is the case for specific pads (PCI, LVDS,
LVPECL).
In fact for all these pads when VCC is off (whatever VCCB state) the clamping diodes present on
inputs are disconnected (inputs are turned to tolerant mode).
So when all the ATC18RHA circuit must be powered on/off while other circuits in the application
are still powered on, the recommended sequences are:
• power-up: VCCB on -> VCC(vdd!) on
• power-down: VCC(vdd!) off -> VCCB off
It is also recommended to stop all activity during these phases as I/O could be in an undetermined state (Input or Output) and create bus contention.
If the ATC18RHA circuit must be partially activated (some clusters on while the others are off)
two cases must be considered:
• all the circuit is powered on/off while a particular cluster is always off : as all pads are Cold
Sparing there is no problem
• a particular cluster must be power on/off while the rest of the circuit is still on. For tolerant input
there is no problem but for not tolerant inputs (PCI) the Hot Swap mode must be used (see
Power Control pads in clusters). For LVDS family and LVPECL the disable mode is enough to
disconnect input clamping diodes (ien,oen=”1”).
If two ATC18RHA circuits are in parallel (spare configuration) with one circuit powered on/off
while the other is always off there is no problem as all pads are Cold Sparing.
PLL
The PLL includes the Loop Filter so the block only needs a specific VCCPLL,VSSPLL 1.8V supply pair.
Core
Core Array
All the cells of the ATC18RHA library are a multiple of a site, each site being 0.56µm width and
5.6µm height. For example, a NAND2 / Drive 2 cell will need 6 sites resulting in a cell size of
3.36µm x 5.6µm or 18.816µm².
Standard cell library
The Atmel Standard Cell Library, SClib, contains a comprehensive set of a combination of logic
and storage cells. The SClib library includes cells that belong to the following categories:
• Buffers and Gates
• Multiplexers
• Standard and SEU Hardened Flip-flops
• Standard and SEU Hardened Scan Flip-flops
• Latches
• Adders and Subtractors

Synthesized Memory
Blocks
The ATC18RHA Synthesized Memory flow is based on GENESYS, an Atmel GATEAID
Software.
GENESYS is a software that has been developed to generate synthesizable VHDL blocks and
associated scripts for synthesis tools and then produce gate level net-lists in the chosen
technology.

The ATC18RHA memory libraries are developed from Virage memory compilers. All these memories are synchronous.
It can compile single-port synchronous SRAM, dual port (2RW) synchronous SRAM and Twoport (1W,1R) synchronous Register-File.
Recommendations are made in the design manual to help the designer to minimize multiple
SEU induced errors per word.

Array Organization Though ATC18RHA is a standard cell library, pre-defined matrix sizes and pad frames have
been set so as to ease the assembly of every individual ASIC design by sticking to presently
available package cavity sizes and layouts. These are close in size to MH1RT matrix sizes.
The following tables demonstrate, for each matrix, for a single or a double pad ring configuration, the maximum number of pads on the outer ring, the maximum number of pads
implementable on the inner ring, and the resulting typical gate count capability of each matrix.

Design
Management
Introduction
Atmel used to propose different design modes, where each mode indicated the designer responsibilities, the design location and the design tools. With designs becoming more complex, timing
and power constraints more severe, and design behaviour more technology dependent, Atmel
believes that any design must be a close cooperation between the customer and the manufacturer. Therefore, only one design scenario is retained: the ASIC chip is designed by the
customer, at his site with a set of design tools supported by Atmel.
Customers now have the possibility to embark on a Multi Project Wafer (MPW). This has no
technical impact on the flow which will be described below. There will be some additional planning constraints and new milestones. This is also explained in this section.

4261F–AERO–08/08
Design Phases
The development of an ASIC chip can be split into 4 main phases.
A meeting is set between each phase.
Figure 2. Design Management Phases
•
Phase 1: Feasibility study
Meeting: Design Start Review (DSR)
•
Phase 2: Logic design
Meeting: Logic Review (LR)
•
Phase 3: Physical design
Meeting: Design Review (DR)
•
Phase 4: Prototypes manufacturing and test
During the review meetings, the conformity of the design to Atmel rules is checked and acknowledged in formal documents, and the data is transferred to the next phase. The content of each
phase is described in the following sections. The responsibility of each step is dependent on the
design flow. The flows will be described later on.
Phase 1
Feasibility Study
At this step, the customer is asked to provide:
• the project identification (name, type)
• an overall description of the functions of the ASIC
• an estimation of the number of logic gates
• an estimation of the number, size and type of the memory blocks
• other hard/compiled blocks
• macro-cells (PLL)
• the number of I/Os without supply (number of LVDS buffers if requested)
• the number of expected supply buffers for periphery (according drive, simultaneous switching,
load...)
• number of simultaneous switching scan FF to determine supply buffers for the core
• preliminary net-list (*)

4261F–AERO–08/08
ATC18RHA
• preliminary pin-out and floor-plan (*)
• max clock and data rates
• expected a.c. and d.c. characteristics
• expected static and dynamic consumption
• list of design tools at customer’s site
• package type
• logic review and design review dates
• prototypes availability date
(*) The availability of a preliminary net-list, pin-out and floor-plan will allow to run a detailed feasibility study. It will consist of making some placement and routing trials with different tools in order
to determine the final flow and to anticipate as much tasks as possible prior to the reception of
the final net-list.
Depending on the available information, 2 types of feasibility study can be run: First level or
detailed feasibility study.
First level feasibility study will consist of estimating:
• design and support time
• die size
• package (type and cavity)
Detailed feasibility study will consist of:
• die size choice
• package (type and cavity) choice
• pin-out description
• first layout prototyping (**)
• placement
• clock tree generation
• routing
• static timing analysis (Atmel/Customer)
• choice of final flow
• design and support time
(**) This is performed in case of high timing criticality. It consists of running a fast place and
route to early evaluate the parasitic effects.
Placement, Clock Tree Generation (CTG) and routing may be performed with different tools (for
example, CTG could be made using CTPKS, FE/CTS or CTGen).
9
4261F–AERO–08/08
During the feasibility phase, several meetings and reviews can be set up if some technical
details have not yet been defined and agreed.
The results of the feasibility study are gathered in a report provided to the customer and
reviewed during the Feasibility Study Review (FSR). The FSR can be either a conference call or
a meeting. From the FSR onwards, a firm quotation can be issued.
DSR Meeting
As soon as the NRE order is placed, a Design Start Review (DSR) is organized.
The DSR is a kick off meeting of the ASIC development between the customer and Atmel (under
the responsibility of the Marketing) and involving the Technical Center, the Product Engineering,
Sales and any other necessary resources.
Phase 2:
Logic Design
This phase consists of building the project database at the logic level, using a selected set of
CAD tools. It consists of creating a first net-list (interconnection of Atmel ASIC cells) describing
the behaviour and the structure of the circuit.
LR Meeting
Once the logic design is completed and checked at the logic level, a formal meeting is set up
involving the customer and Atmel, for the official freezing of the data and the start of the physical
design.
Phase 3:
Physical Design
After the customer’s design data has been transferred to the Atmel Technical Centre, the layout
is performed.
Then, post layout simulations are run and back annotations given to the customer. Changes can
be made on the layout until the best trade off is found between Atmel and the customer, provided it has been approved before.
.
DR Meeting
Once the design layout is completed, the entire circuit database is reviewed by the customer
and Atmel in order to validate the physical design.
The main criteria to be checked are:
• Simulation results with post-layout back-annotation timings.
• Layout organization with bonding diagrams and package features.
• Test program in compliance with Atmel tester rules.
The final agreement for processing the parts is mentioned in a formal document which is signed
by both sides, and includes all the reference file names and technical comments, with a check
list.

4261F–AERO–08/08
ATC18RHA
Phase 4: Prototypes
Once the Design Review meeting has been held, the project database is transferred to the
Atmel factory in Nantes (France). This database is then followed step by step by the Product
Engineering (PE) group.
The masks and test devices are created and used to process and test the samples before and
after the assembly steps.
The test program generated during the development phase is applied either onto the wafer or
after the dice are packaged. The Credence Octet test equipment is used for this operation. The
samples are then shipped to the customer for functional acceptance.

Milestones
Though a large increase in performance is reached using 0.18µm process, many designs would
not be able to benefit from the advanced technology due to the high costs involved. Therefore,
Atmel proposes, in cooperation with the European Space Agency who manages the eligible
designs and launch dates, a Multi Project Wafer service called SMPW (Space Multi Project
Wafer) to its customers.
It is a way to decrease the cost of the reticules and silicon by sharing them over a number of
designs.
Specific milestones have been created to coordinate, manage the activities and guarantee that
there will be no interaction between any customer design and the others.
The main milestones are the Logic Review Closing Date (LRCD) and the Design Review Closing Date (DRCD).
The LR meeting must be held prior to the LRCD. The DR meeting must be held prior to the
DRCD. For this reason, Pre Logic and Pre Design Reviews are strongly recommended.
For each SMPW run, those dates are known in advance. A procedure has been defined to
embark on a run. In summary, a request to embark has to be made and the reservation on a run
occurs once the LRCD is passed. Any question related to the SMPW service can be addressed
to the hotline, at the following email address: [email protected].

Design Flows
Introduction
This chapter summarizes the design flow with reference to different platforms used for Cell
based chip design. For further details, refer to the ATC18RHA design manual.
Figure 3. Global design flow
Atmel Package Assistant is running on SUN stations under SOLARIS and on LINUX PC
(RedHat distribution from version 7.0). Design Kits are compatible with both platforms depending on third party tools availability. Disk space for software and kits is checked by the installation
tool. Hardware platform memory requirement is design dependant.
Design Kit
The use of both external and internal IC CAD tools requires the modelization of each library element. The set of required files for all the supported CAD tools relevant to the ATC18RHA family
is called the ATC18RHA Design Kit. These files describe the functionality, including or not timings and other attributes, with respect to each targeted tools modelization features and methods.
The design kit contains relevant descriptions of standard cells and peripheral cells, given for different pre-defined ranges of temperature, voltage and process.

Testability
Techniques
For complex designs, involving blocks of memory and/or cores, careful attention must be given
to design-for-test techniques. The sheer size of complex designs and the number of functional
vectors that would need to be created to exercise them fully, strongly suggests the use of more
efficient techniques. Combinations of SCAN paths, multiplexed access to memory and/or core
blocks, and built-in-self-test logic must be employed, in addition to functional test patterns, to
provide both the user and Atmel the ability to test the finished product.
An example of a highly complex design could include a PLL for clock management or synthesis,
a microcontroller or DSP engine or both, SRAM to support the microcontroller or DSP engine,
and glue logic to support the interconnectivity of each of these blocks. The design of each of
these blocks must take into consideration the fact that the manufactured device will be tested on
a high performance digital tester. Combinations of parametric, functional, and structural tests,
defined for digital testers, should be employed to create a suite of manufacturing tests.
The type of block dictates the type of testability technique to be employed. The PLL will, by construction, provide access to key nodes so that functional and/or parametric testing can be
performed. Since a digital tester must control all the clocks during the testing of chip, provision
must be made for the VCO to be bypassed. Atmel’s PLLs include a multiplexing capability for
just this purpose. The addition of a few pins will allow other portions of the PLL to be isolated for
test, without impinging upon the normal functionality.
In a similar vein, access to microcontroller, DSP, and SRAM blocks must be provided so that
controllability and observability of the inputs and outputs to the blocks are achieved with the minimum amount of preconditioning. SRAM blocks need to provide access to both address and data
ports so that comprehensive memory tests can be performed. Multiplexing I/O pins provides a
method for providing this accessibility.
The glue logic can be designed using full SCAN techniques to enhance its testability.
It should be noted that, in almost all of these cases, the purpose of the testability technique is to
provide Atmel a means to assess the structural integrity of the chip, i.e., sort devices with manufacturing-induced defects. All of the techniques described above should be considered
supplemental to a set of patterns which exercise the functionality of the design in its anticipated
operating modes.
