Silicon processes have been migrating to finer geometries due to the higher IC complexity demands and lower cost requirements. A Nanometer System-On-Chip Design Platform will improve competitiveness of local IC industry. The design platform should include nanometer SoC design knowhow, commonly needed soft and silicon IP’s. In this proposed project, a few low voltage silicon IP’s will be developed. The single power supply will break the scaling barrier of maintaining a higher voltage interface. In addition, high performance PLL will be developed for high speed SoC and IO interface designs.
