Fujitsu’s CS70DL, a 0.25µm drawn (0.18µm Leff)
embedded DRAM product, is based on Fujitsu’s state-of-
the-art CMOS process technology–a process designed for
demanding performance and integration. Along with
superior performance, the CS70DL family offers high density
logic gates and embedded DRAMs, with as many as five layers
of metal. The CS70DL standard cell library, which is
optimized for synthesis-based designs, is the most enhanced
library for implementing today’s deep submicron system-on-
silicon designs. The core process operates at 2.5V ± 0.2V, and
the I/Os operate at 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V-tolerant conditions. In
addition to the traditional QFP packages, the CS70DL family
is available in Ball Grid Array and Flip Chip packages. It also
offers a rich set of ADCs and DACs, digital and analog PLLs,
high-speed RAMs, ROMs, and DRAMs, as well as a variety of
other embedded functions. The logic portion of the CS70DL
is compatible with the CE71/CS71 series (0.25µm embedded
arrays and standard cells).
Design Methodology
Fujitsu’s design methodology ensures first-silicon success by
integrating proprietary point tools with the most popular
sign-off quality, industry-standard CAD tools. The following
are among these tools:
• Logic design rule checker
• Delay calculator
• Quasi three-dimensional parasitic extraction tool
• BankBase-DRAM Compiler

Description
▼
Fujitsu’s clock-driven design methodology is devised for low
power and low skew. It identifies the best-suited clock
distribution strategy for a given design and predicts
performance in advance. Fujitsu supports co-simulation,
emulation, and high-level floorplanning to ease the power,
timing, and size estimation of the design. This enables the
designer to make effective architectural-level decisions to
achieve optimal design solutions. Fujitsu’s design
methodology supports cycle-based simulators and formal
verification, as well as static timing analysis and the more
conventional VHDL and Verilog simulators. Fujitsu’s design-
for-test strategy includes boundary scan (JTAG), full and
partial scan, as well as a built-in self-test for memory.
Applications
Besides offering exceptional integration and low power
consumption, the CS70DL also offers advanced performance,
area-optimized memories. High-performance transmission
and switching applications, such as high-end graphics PCs
and notebooks, game consoles, networking gear, engineering
workstations, and mobile communications, can benefit from
this technology.
