SMIC-Synopsys Reference Flow 5.0, a chip-level flat design flow from RTL to verified GDSII, once again delivers a low power design. Reference Flow 5.0 uses SMIC’s advanced 40-nanometer Low Leakage process (40LL) with the Synopsys Galaxy implementation platform, and all the scripts are compatible with the Synopsys Lynx Design System. Anchored by Synopsys' Design Compiler, IC Compiler, PrimeTime Suite, StarRC, Formality, VCS , DFT Compiler MAX, TetraMax, Hercules, PrimeRail, and HSIMplus, the Galaxy Design Platform. reduces design cycle, decreases integration costs and helps minimize risks inherent in advanced, complex IC design.

This proven reference flow was validated using the ARM SMIC 40nm multiple channel standard cell library, Power Management Kit, memory compiler, SMIC in-house PLL and IO to illustrate a power-gating design. In addition, the reference flow leverages Unified Power Format (UPF), an IEEE standard for defining low power design intended to improve the way complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are implemented and verified.

SMIC and Synopsys’ collaboration has enabled IC designers to accelerate their designs into manufacturing, with a flexible, lower-risk environment and faster time-to-market with SMIC’s 40nm process technology.
