A description is given of ILAC (Interactive Layout of Analog CMOS Circuits), a CAD (computer-aided design) tool that automatically generates geometrical layout for analog CMOS leaf cells from netlist information and user-specified constraints on cell bounds and input/output locations. ILAC is the companion tool of IDAC, a design tool that sizes analog CMOS circuits from a library of proven schematics given a set of functional specifications and technological parameters. Unlike existing analog silicon compilers that use some predefined placement for a specific type of circuit, ILAC determines an optimal layout for any circuit and any set of input parameters.<>

A 13-bit 80-kHz baseband analog-to-digital converter suitable for use in applications such as the ISDN U-interface is described.

A 20-ns, 600-mW, programmable logic device (PLD) using 0.8- mu m, two-layer metal, n-well CMOS EPROM technology is described. This PLD's architecture is optimized for asynchronous applications. It is a 28-pin device with 13 inputs, 12 I/Os, one V/sub CC/ and two V/sub SS/ pins. Each I/O pin has a macrocell which includes an input and an output register, and control muxes for output enable and feedback to the array. Product terms generate set, reset, and clock for each register independently. A product term input to the XOR gate can configure the D register into a JK, RS or T flip-flop. The sense amplifier is optimized for speed and power and is compensated for process, temperature, and pattern variations. The device uses substrate bias generator to improve performance and latchup immunity.<>

A novel multiple-level storage DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) technique which obtains fairly fast access time is presented. The RAM area, especially the cell-array area, which is highly defect-sensitive, is reduced with this technique. Reasonable yield can thus be achieved. An experimental 1-Mb DRAM has been fabricated, and the 2-bit/cell storage technique has been verified to be suitable for macro-cell or memory-on-logic application.<>

The problem of power distribution for WSI has been investigated, using SPICE simulations of distribution strategies for a number of wafer sizes under conditions of varying rail dimensions and processor size. Simulations concentrate on strategies used in an earlier, more specific report, involving grid arrangements in double-layer metal. Results support the suggestion that rails must be several hundred square micrometers in cross section to guarantee integrity of the supply. Large processors are seen to be only fractionally more attractive and a decision regarding this would therefore be dominated in practice by yield consideration. A prospective scheme is proposed which involves continuous metal surfaces for power and ground. This promises attractive performance if a practical realization is possible.<>

RELIANT is a CAD (computer-aided design) tool which predicts the failure rate of integrated circuit conductors. Circuit layout, device models, and electromigration process data are inputs to RELIANT. The interconnect patterns in a Caltech Intermediate Format (CIF) file are fractured into a number of characteristic segment types. An equivalent circuit is extracted and SPICE is used to determine the transient currents in each segment. Using parametric models for electromigration damage, the failure rate of the system is computed. RELIANT provides designers with feedback on the reliability hazards of a design. Results show the application of the tool to a standard-cell CMOS component. For modeling large VLSI interconnect systems, the incorporation of a switch-level simulator is discussed.<>
