CB35000 SERIES
GENERAL DISCRIPTION
The CB35000 standard cell series uses a high
performance, low voltage, triple level metal,
HCMOS5S 0.5 micron process to achieve subnanosecond internal speeds while offering very
low power dissipation and high noise immunity.
With an average gate density of 5500 gates/mm2,
the CB35000 family allows the design of highly
complex devices. The potential available gate
count ranges above 1.5 Million equivalent gates.
Devices can operate over a Vdd voltage range of
2.7 to 3.6 volts.
The I/O count for this array family ranges to over
600 signals and 800 pins dependent upon the
package technology utilized. A Sea of I/O
approach has been followed to give a solution to
today’s problems of drive levels and specialized
interface standards. The technology does not
utilize a set bond pad spacing but allows for pad
spacings from 80 microns upwards. The I/O is
fully compatible with that of the ISB35000
Structured Array family.
The I/O can be configured for circuits ranging
from low voltage CMOS and TTL to 350 mHz
plus low swing differential circuits. Standards like
GTL, SCSI-2, 3.3 Volt PCI, CTI, and a limited set
of 5.0 Volt interfaces are currently being
addressed. A specialized set of impedance
matched transmission line driver LVTTL type
circuits are also available with 25, 35, 45, and 55
Ohm output impedance. These buffers sacrifice
direct current capabilities for matching positive
and negative voltage and current waveforms.

LIBRARY OVERVIEW
The design of the CB35000 family has been
optimized to allow extremely high density, high
speed and low power designs. For these reasons
a wide range of cells with different ranges of
driving capability are available in the library.
The library cells have been optimized in term of
functional and electrical parameters in order to
have:
■ Good balancing
■ Maximum speed
■ Optimum Threshold voltage
■ Symmetric Vdd/Vss Noise margin
■ Minimum Power-Speed figure
Surrounding the core are configurational
specialized transistors forming a Sea of I/O giving
a high degree of flexibility to the system designer.
The geometrical aspect of the cells was
configured to allow extremely dense design, fully
10 Êm
exploiting the features of the Place and Route
tool in terms of horizontal and vertical routing
grids. For Place and Route, three levels of metal
are utilized. Intracell and intercell wiring are
limited to first metal, with second and third metal
levels dedicated to interconnect wiring and power
distribution. Each cell gives the possibility to use
10 horizontal wiring channels using third metal.
With the horizontal grid unit being the same as
the Metal 2 minimum contacted pitch, the vertical
wiring can be done on every grid point, without
limitation.
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
A major feature of the HCMOS5S process is
salicided active areas. This results in source
drain areas that are of one to two ohms
resistance as opposed to the hundreds or
thousands of ohms of source drain resistance in
previous technologies. This very low resistance is
one reason that very low transistor widths could
be utilized in the cell design since drive is not lost
due to source drain resistance. This use of low
width transistors results in lower capacitance
loading of the gates due to the smaller areas
utilized. Low resistance, low capacitance, and
small gates results in low power usage for
inverters as compared to previous technologies.
The reduction in power consumption allows the
usage of salicided active stripes to distribute
power internally to the simple cell, replacing, in
some cases, the usage of the first metal layer.
This saves silicon area by allowing greater
density, permeability and routability of the cells
resulting in greater overall circuit density.
The standard power distributions are Internal Vdd
and Vss, serving the internal cells and the
prebuffer sections of the I/O, External Vdd and
Vss serving the output transistors only, and
Receiver Vdd and Vss serving the first stages of
the receiver cells. Optional distributions for 5.0V
interface, GTL, CTL, and other standards can be
utilized as necessary.

LIBRARY
The following section details the elements which
make up the CB35000 Series library. The
elements are organized into three categories:
1. Macrocell library with Input, Output,
Bidirectional
Buffers
including
JTAG
macrocells and Core cells.
2. Macrofunctions
3. Module generators.
I/O BUFFERS
CB35000 technology does not utilize a standard
type I/O cell but is a leader in the emerging Sea
of I/O approach to handling the chip interface
problem. This approach starts at the bond pad
area of the I/O where the pad size and pitch is not
determined until the customers choice of
packaging, signal interface standards and I/O
count is considered. Wire bond pad spacings for
80 micron centres are available where large
signal counts are most important.
Pad spacing can be increased incrementally. It is
expected that most designs will use 100 micron
spacings or above. It is also possible to use
different spacings for different width output
sections when needed within the same device.
Along with the variable bond pad spacing the I/O
output transistor section does not have a fixed
width. Previous technologies utilized a design
approach where the desired full function buffer
was designed for a maximum current taking one
pad location with the usual current in the range of
twenty four milliamps. The approach followed in
CB35000 is to have identical twenty five micron
wide output transistor slices stepped around the
die. Each slice contains one set of protection
diodes to the external power rails and eight P and
eight N transistors. The transistors are
specifically laid out and selectively non salicided
for ESD protection and latch up prevention.
These slices are paralleled to meet the current
needs of the user, for example, to construct a
24mA sink and 12mA source LVTTL buffer, a
number of slices would be used. The next group
of devices that makes up the I/O circuits is again

a 25u wide slice of specialized transistors that are
utilized to form the slew rate control sections of
the I/O. Each of these slices has circuits to
control the switching of up two sections of P and
N output transistors. These sections are of
course created from the output transistor slice
above the slew rate section and can be
connected as desired by the designer. Many
configurations of circuits can be created to supply
the desired results with slew rate slices paralleled
with multiple output sections. A further function of
the I/O circuits is current spike suppression
during switching of the I/O transistors. The logic
utilized causes the conducting transistors to turn
off before the opposing set of transistors turn on.

technologies supported match the output buffer
capabilities and include, LVCMOS, LVTTL, GTL,
CTL, Differential, etc. and a five volt interface
capability.
All pads except the sixteen corner pads can be
configured as power or I/O pads. The configured
power pads are known as placeable pads and
have an associated current handling capability.
Their placement is dependent on the types of
output buffers used in the design. For rules
governing the placement of pads, please contact
your local SGS-THOMSON design centre.
CORE LOGIC
The propagation delays shown in the CB35000
data book are given for nominal processing, 3.3V
operation, and 25 C temperature conditions.
Inside the slew rate sections the next slices of
specialized designed components step on a 50
micron wide pattern. The first of these 50 micron
wide sections is utilized for predriver circuits;
these include specialized built in test functions for
the I/O. The predriver of course interfaces the
core signals controlling tristate and switching
functions with the slew rate and output transistor
sections but it also allows all Output Buffers to be
driven high, low or put into tristate regardless of
the state of the internal logic greatly simplifying
parametric testing of the part and also assisting
customers who wish to use this feature during
board testing. Note that all output buffers can be
tristated by this function including buffers that
normally do not tristate. This test function also
turns off all pull up or down devices and shuts
down all differential receivers and converts them
into standard CMOS receivers. Inside the
predriver is a section of specialized transistors
used to create the receiver functions. This
section includes specialized non salicide
protection resistor diodes to further protect the
gates of the receiver devices from ESD and latch
up. Also present in this section are devices that
can be utilized to form various parameteriseable
pull up, pull down and buskeeper functions. A full
set of standard receivers with pull up and pull

However there are additional factors that affect
the delay characteristics of the macrocells. These
include loading due to fanout and interconnect
routing, voltage supply, junction temperature of
the device, processing tolerance and input signal
transition time. Prior to physical layout, the
design system can estimate the delays
associated with any critical path. The impact of
the placement and routing can be accurately RC
back annotated from the layout for final
simulations of critical timing. The effects of
junction temperature, (KT) and voltage supply
(KV) on the delay numbers are summarized in
Table 4. A third factor, is associated with process
variation. This multiplier has a minimum of 0.8
and a maximum of 1.2.
MACROCELLS AND MACROFUNCTIONS
The CB35000 series has internal macrocells that
are robust in variety and performance. The cell
selection has been driven by the need of
Synthesis and HDL based design techniques.
This offering is rich in buffers, complex
combinatorial cells and multi power drive cells,
which allow the Synthesis tool to create a netlist
compatible with the requirements of Place and
Route tools.
Macrofunctions are a series of soft-macros
facilitating quick capture of large functional blocks
and are available for such functions as counters,

MODULE GENERATORS
A series of module generators using compiled
cell generation techniques, are available to
support a range of megacells. These modules
enable the designer to choose individual
parameters in order to create a compiled cell,
which
meets
the
specific
application
requirements. These include single port RAM,
dual port RAM, ROM and MULT. The compiled
cell generators construct custom cells, which are
implemented using a special leaf cell technique,
ensuring predictable layout and accurate module
characteristics. In choosing megacells the
designer can consider the trade-offs between
speed and area to generate a fully customized
cell which meets their specific device
requirements. These megacell generators are
complemented by a group of application specific
embedded megacells. These allow access to
technologies that have been hitherto the domain
of standard products. Examples include mixed
mode cells for graphics, DAC/ADC’s (4-9 bit),
PLL applications, and Digital Signal Processor
functions for cellular comms, fax and high-speed
modem.which initially consist of a Triple 8-bit
DAC, Graphics RAM, Clock Multiplier PLL and
Frequency Synthesis PLL.
100 Mbps serial transputer links coupled with
large and fast memory can be used for pipelining,
caching and synchro circuits in modern RISC
computing architectures. Viterbi and Reed
Solomon cores aim at the HDTV and satellite
transmission markets. To support telecom needs
for CCITT standard applications, ADPCM cells
supporting CT2 protocol have been developed.
DESIGN FOR TESTABILITY
The time and cost for ASIC testing increases
exponentially as the complexity and size of the
ASIC grows. Using a design for testability
methodology allows large, more complex ASICs
to be efficiently and economically tested.
CB35000 supports the JTAG boundary Scan and
both edge and level sensitive scan design
techniques by providing the necessary
macrocells. Scan testing aids device testability by
permitting access to internal nodes without
requiring a separate external connection for each
node accessed. Testability is assured at device
level with the close coupling of LSSD latch
elements, Automatic Test Pattern Generation
(ATPG) and high pattern depth tester
architecture. BIST options for memory generators
are also available.
At system level, SGS-THOMSON fully supports
IEEE 1149.1, and the I/O structure utilized in this
family is completely compatible. Several types of

core scan cells are provided in the CB35000
Series library. Examples include FDxS/FJKxS
cells which are edge sensitive and LSxx cells
which are true LSSD cells. Non-overlapping clock
generator macros are also available.
EVALUATION DEVICE
An evaluation device is used to demonstrate the
performance of the CB35000 series as well as
verify the effectiveness of the design system. The

DESIGN ENVIRONMENT
Several interface levels are possible between
SGS-THOMSON and the customer in the
undertaking of an ASIC design. The four levels of
interface are shown in Figure 7. Level 1 is
characterized by SGS-THOMSON receiving the
system specification and taking the design
through to validation and fabrication. At level 2
interface the designer supplies a complete logic
design implemented in a standard generic logic
family. SGS-THOMSON then takes the design
through to layout, validation and fabrication.
Level 3 is the most common and preferred
interface level. Logic capture and pre-layout
simulation are performed by the designer using
an SGS-THOMSON supported design kit. The
design is then taken through layout, validation
and fabrication by SGS-THOMSON.
The SGS-THOMSON design system validates all
designs before fabrication. Design kits are
provided that allow schematic capture entry via
Mentor Graphics and Cadence products.
Simulation is supported for Cadence and Mentor
Graphics. Full support is also provided for
Cadence Verilog, Synopsys VSS and System
Hilo simulators. Figure 8 shows the SGSTHOMSON Design Flow.
Test vector development uses TSSI software
from Summit and Currentest from CrossCheck.
