Figure 1. Integrated HDD Solution with CB-C7
Cell-Based ASIC and Embedded Megafunctions
Description
The CB-C7, 3-volt cell-based product family is intended for
low power portables and battery-operated products. A
power reduction of up to 60 percent is now possible
compared with the CB-C7, 5-volt. The CB-C7, 3-volt is
manufactured with a 0.8-micron (drawn) process with two-
or three-layer metalization and is offered in 22 I/O ring
sizes. Typical applications include handheld terminals,
personal digital office assistants, word spellers, cellular
phones and a variety of high-volume, portable PC-based
applications. The family allows designing complex logic
functions, up to 237,000 usable gates of user-defined logic.
Megamacro blocks may include industry-standard CPU
cores, peripherals, and analog functions -- thus enabling
complete system-on-a-chip solutions.
The CB-C7 series consists of two types of architectures, a
Fast Turn FT-type embedded array and a High Density HD-
type full standard cell. The FT-type uses fully-diffused
standard cell embedded cores with sea-of-gates user-
definable logic. The FT solution offers gate-array-like turn-
around times while allowing the incorporation of large
embedded functions. Another important advantage is that
the FT-type is well-suited for multiple designs built around
a common embedded CPU function, such as the V30HL
(8086) CPU.
The HD-type is comprised of fully-diffused standard cell
architecture for both the embedded cores and the user-
defined logic area. This solution offers an optimal die size
for economic cost-effective volume production. Full gate
delay models are available for both in Verilog
, a golden
simulator, as part of NEC's OpenCAD
Design System.

OpenCAD Design System
CB-C7 is supported by the OpenCAD Design System, an
ASIC design environment that merges the best of today's
most powerful CAD ASIC software design tools and propri-
etary tools, such as a floorplanner and module compilers,
into a single environment.
Sample design kits are available at no charge to quali-
fied users: contact the NEC ASIC Design Center nearest
you for more information. A software license agreement is
required.
Digital Megafunctions
In addition to the V30HL/V20HL 8086, 8088 product fami-
lies and support peripherals, NEC offers complex standard
IC functions as well as A/D and D/A converters for multime-
dia applications. Compiled RAM and ROM are also avail-
able to satisfy a myriad of different product applications.
Analog Blocks
NEC is building upon its expertise in analog standard ICs by
now offering select members of its analog family as analog
megamacros. These megamacros are layed out in the I/O
area to maximize die area in the core for digital functions
and user-defined logic. This separation of the analog and
digital functions and separate analog V
DD
and V
SS
line also
contributes to better noise isolation.
Digital and analog functions on a CB-C7 cell-based array
are tested separately.
Test and Emulation Bus Architecture
The test and emulation bus architecture used for CB-C7
design methodology approach to the testing and emulation
of embedded functions. It allows the emulation of the
production chip for system validation, reuse of the test bus
circuit and use of standard micro IC functional test vectors
and system vectors in a modularized fashion. It also pro-
vides real-time emulation support and its test bus structure
allows testing of on-chip RAM/ROM or analog blocks.
On-Chip Compiled Memory
RAM and ROM blocks can be custom compiled in the
CB-C7 design environment.
The RAM and ROM compiler allows ASIC designers to
generate silicon-efficient memory blocks of specific size
and performance to suit exact system requirements
quickly and efficiently.
The table of compilable RAM and ROM, shown on page
4, describes three different MUX ratios along with the
minimum and maximum size. For the 16:1 MUX, the
minimum word depth is 256 and the minimum bit width is
1. The word depth can increase by 64 words in
increments up to 2K and the bit width can increase by 1
bit up to a maximum of 8 bits. The other RAM and ROM
configurations are determined in the same fashion.
Typical examples of applications containing digital
memory and analog cores and their step size is shown in
Figure 2.
3 V Operation
CB-C7 CMOS is ideal for low power, high volume,
battery-operated products. The CB-C7 process has been
recharacterized to operate at two voltage levels, 5 V
10% and 3.0 V 10%. Not only have macrocells been
recharacterized to operate at the lower voltage, but
complex megamacros and compiled memory as well.

NEC's ASIC Design System
NEC supports its ASIC products with a comprehensive
CAD system that significantly reduces the time and
expense usually associated with the development of
semi-custom devices. NEC's OpenCAD Design System
is a front-end to back-end ASIC design package that
merges several advanced CAE/CAD tools into a single
structure. The design flow combines tools for floorplan-
ning, logic synthesis, automatic test generation, acceler-
ated fault-grading, full timing simulation, and advanced
place-and-route algorithms. RAM/ROM and Datapath
Compilers are also available for use in CB-C7 designs.
A top-down modeling methodology is possible by means
of HDL specification. Designers can concentrate their
design effort at a higher level of abstraction, specifying,
modeling, and simulating their designs at a systems
level. This leaves the details of the gate-level implemen-
tation to the synthesis tools. After having verified proper
functionality, designers are free to explore functional and
architectural trade-offs, and can optimize chip perfor-
mance while minimizing chip area. An engineer can
Figure 4. CB-C7 HDL-Based Design Flow
evaluate several architectures and select the best
solution before committing to silicon. The design flow is
shown below.
One of the key benefits of the ASIC design flow is that
sign-off simulation can be accomplished at the
customer's site since NEC offers designers a choice of
simulators with the "golden simulator" status. Golden
simulator status means that after receiving the post
place-and-route simulation results from the customer,
NEC can proceed directly to photomask production, by-
passing the additional post-simulation steps.
To simplify simulation and testing of embedded cores
and megamacros, full Verilog gate delay models are
provided for all megamacros. The megamacros are then
fully tested with a standard set of production test vectors.
The floorplanner tool provides a realistic estimate of wire
length by grouping hierarchical blocks in a specific
physical location on the chip. This allows for more
accurate simulation results by minimizing critical path
interconnect delays. The floorplanner also allows for
placement of fully-diffused functions such as memory

and microprocessors. Graphical I/O assignment is
available with the floorplanner. The floorplanner gener-
ates a delay file for post-floorplanner simulation, as
shown in the design flow.
The ECO option allows the designer to make minor
corrections in the design without requiring an entirely
new placement and routing of the device. The tool
ensures that relatively small changes, such as connec-
tivity changes, will not greatly impact the timing of the
current design. This can vastly improve turnaround time
for the design.
NEC also incorporates proprietary tools to facilitate the
design process. A single delay calculator is used for all
CAE platforms to ensure consistent timing and simula-
tion results. A comprehensive design rule check, DRC,
program reports design rule violations as well as chip
utilization statistics for the design netlist. The generated
report contains information such as cell count and usage
rate as well as net and total pin counts. Unused input
pins, violations in pin naming conventions, and ex-
ceeded fan-out limits are examples of the design rule
violations reported by this program.
Sample design kits are available at no charge to quali-
fied users: Contact an NEC ASIC design center for
more information. NEC's ASIC Design Centers are
listed on the back of this data sheet. A software license
agreement is required.
