For OKI (ml7065) and Integration (ia4451) parts, the interface is to the MAC and ZigBee is SPI.
For ChipCon cc2420 & Ember em2420, all software is implemented on an external MCU, with an SPI interface to the PHY / RF.
ChipCon, Ember and Jennic now have SoCs that have the MCU integrated on same...
what is flipchip design
There are two main differences between wire-bond and flip chip.
- In wirebond, the I/O pads are placed around the die. In flip-chip, they are placed all over the die.
- In wirebond, the die has the top metal layer facing up, in flip chip, the die is flipped upside...
estimating die size
Area is mainly down to the standard cell library you use, rather than foundry. For example, if you use Artisan Sage-X libaraies, die size will be the same for 0.13 for any fab (TSMC / Chartered / IBM / UMC). However, if you use Artisan Metro libraries, die size will be...
For high fan out nets, a lot of buffering may have been inserted for .18. But as you set_dont_touch for .13, that buffering may not have been inserted, resulting in a smaller design.
If you want to write the actual BIST logic from scratch (i.e. not use someone elses code), the you need to web search for the "March G" algorithm. Look for a paper by AJ van de Goor. Most March tests are for bit oriented memory, so also look for his paper about word-orientated March tests.
help: ARM ALU design
The trick to designing a good ARM ALU is to put the barrel-shifter for the second operand in a different pipeline stage to the adder.
synthesis library usage
If you have Artisan libraries, you can just load the Synopsys .lib libraries (i.e. sc/synopsys/slow.lib) into PKS using the read_dotlib command.
