ams’ new “hitkit” design environment offers high-density libraries and improved set of transistors, boosting the analog performance of complex ICs
2016-07-20 | Returnschedules.
ams’ “hitkit” design environment comes with 1.8V and 5.0V NMOS and PMOS devices (substrate based, floating, low leakage and high threshold voltage options) and fully characterized passives including various capacitors. Area-optimized high-density and low-power digital libraries with gate densities up to 152kGates/mm², updated digital and analog I/O libraries with up to 6 metal layers as well as ESD protection cells with up to 8kV HBM level are included. One-Time Programmable memories (OTP), online memory generation service for RAMs and ROMs as well as a Zero-Mask-Level-Adder EEPROM IP block (up to 8kbit) complete the offering.
Based on Virtuoso® Custom IC technology 6.1.6 from Cadence®, the new hitkit helps design teams to significantly reduce time-to-market for highly competitive products in the analog-intensive mixed-signal arena. Offering highly accurate simulation models, extraction and verification run sets for both Calibre and Assura and flexible SKILL-based PCells, the new hitkit provides a comprehensive design environment and a proven route to silicon. The 180nm CMOS specialty process (“aC18”) is manufactured in ams’ state of the art 200mm fabrication facility in Austria ensuring very low defect densities and high yields.
“It’s a milestone for us to bring our aC18 technology online in our Austrian fab”, says Markus Wuchse, General Manager for the Full Service Foundry division at ams. ”The release of the new hitkit enables ams to offer foundry users a combination of rapid prototyping and high-quality volume production of complex analog semiconductors on our 180nm process, just as we have done in the past for our 350nm process family.”
The ams aC18 specialty process is ideally suited for sensors and sensor interface devices in a wide variety of applications such as wearables, healthcare, home automation, smart cars and industry 4.0. It allows the development of innovative solutions for consumer electronics and industrial devices for the internet of things (IoT) and smart cities. Prototyping runs can be started immediately.
Volume production release is scheduled for July 2016.
Availability
The new hitkit v4.14 is available now on our foundry support server at http://asic.ams.com/hk414.
