PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The high-performance UTE/UTE-R gate array family
features densities of up to 125,000 equivalent gates and is avail-
able in MIL-PRF-38535 QML Q and V quality levels and
radiation-hardened (UTE-R).
Advanced Silicon-Gate CMOS Process
The UTE/UTE-R processes feature submicron channel lengths
(0.9 leff) in a twin-tub, epitaxial bulk CMOS technology. These
processes have options for two or three levels of metal intercon-
nect which allow efficient layouts for designs requiring high
functional density.
For those designs requiring stringent radiation hardness,
special processing techniques are used to enhance the total dose
radiation hardness of the field and gate oxides while maintaining
circuit density and reliability. In addition, for both greater tran-
sient radiation hardness and latchup immunity, the radiation-
hardened processes are built on epitaxial substrate
wafers.
Patented High Density Array Architecture
Developed from UTMC’s patented architectures, the
UTE/UTE-R array family uses a highly efficient continuous-
transistor architecture for the internal cell constructions. This
arrangement minimizes the number of otherwise unusable tran-
sistors common in conventional block-structured arrays.
Combined with placement and routing tools, the
utilization of available transistors is maximized using two or
three levels of metal interconnect, enabling the designer to
achieve very high functional density in a single ASIC.
Gate Array Family
Arrays fabricated in both UTE and UTE-R (radiation-
hardened option) processes are available with usable gate den-
sities of up to 125,000 equivalent gates and 342 total pads (see
table 1).

Notes:
1. The -R denotes the radiation-hardened option.
2.Based on NAND2 equivalents. Actual usable gate count is design-dependent. Estimates reflect a mix of functions including RAM.
3.Includes five pins that may or may not be reserved for JTAG boundary-scan, depending on user requirements.
4.Reserved for dedicated VDD/VSS and VDDQ/VSSQ.
Low-noise Device and Package Solutions
UTE/UTE-R output drivers feature programmable slew rate
control for minimizing noise and switching transients. This fea-
ture allows the user to optimize edge characteristics to match
system requirements. Separate on-chip power and ground buses
are provided for internal cells and output drivers which further
isolate internal design circuitry from switching noise.
In addition, UTMC offers advanced low-noise package technol-
ogy with multi-layer, co-fired ceramic construction featuring
built-in isolated power and ground planes. These planes provide
lower overall resistance/inductance through power and ground
paths which minimize voltage drops during periods of heavy
switching. These isolated planes also help sustain supply volt-
age during dose rate events, thus preventing rail span collapse.
Flatpacks are available with up to 304 leads; PGAs are available
with up to 280 leads. UTMC’s flatpacks feature a non-conduc-
tive tie bar that helps maintain lead integrity through test and
handling operations. In addition to the packages listed in table
2, UTMC offers custom package development and package tool-
ing modification services for individual requirements.
Table 2. Packages
Notes:
1. The number of device I/O pads available may be restricted by the selected package.
2. PGA packages have one additional non-connected index pin (i.e., 144 + 1 index pin = 145 total package pins for the 144 PGA).

Extensive Cell Library
The UTE/UTE-R family of gate arrays is supported by an ex-
tensive cell library that includes SSI, MSI, and 54XX-equivalent
functions, as well as RAM and other megafunctions. User-
selectable options for cell configurations include scan for all
register elements, as well as output drive strength. UTMC’s
megacell library includes the following functions:
Intel® 80C31 equivalent
MIL-STD-1553 functions (BCRTM, RTI, RTMP)
MIL-STD-1750 microprocessor
Standard microprocessor peripheral functions
Configurable RAM
Refer to UTMC’s UTE/UTE-R Design Manual for complete
cell listing and details.
I/O Buffers
The UTE/UTE-R gate array family offers up to 342 device pad
locations (note: device pad availability is affected by package
selection and pinout.) The I/O cells can be configured by the
user to serve as input, output, bidirectional, three-state, or addi-
tional power and ground pads. Output drive options range from
2 to 8mA. To drive larger off-chip loads, output drivers can be
combined in parallel to provide additional drive up to 12mA.
Other I/O buffer features and options include:
Slew rate control
Pull-up and pull-down resistors
TTL, CMOS, and Schmitt levels
Built-in boundary-scan
JTAG Boundary-Scan
UTE/UTE-R arrays include a test access port and boundary-scan
architecture that conforms to the IEEE Standard 1149.1 (JTAG).
Some of the benefits this capability offers include the following:
Allows easy test of complex assembled printed circuit
boards
Can be used to gain access to and control internal
scan paths
Can be used to initiate Built-In Self Test
Clock Driver Distribution
UTMC design tools provide methods for balanced clock distri-
bution that maximize drive capability and minimize relative
clock skew between clocked devices.
Speed and Performance
UTMC specializes in high-performance circuits designed to op-
erate in harsh military and radiation environments. Table 3
presents a sampling of typical cell delays.
Note that the propagation delay for a CMOS device is a function
of its fanout loading, supply voltage, operating temperature, and
processing tolerance. In a radiation environment, additional per-
formance variances must be considered. The UTE/UTE-R
simulation models account for all of these effects to accurately
determine circuit performance for its particular set of use
conditions.
Power Dissipation
Each internal gate or I/O driver has an average power consump-
tion based on its switching frequency and capacitive loading.
The radiation-hardened processes exhibit power dissipation that
is typical of CMOS processes. For a rigorous power estimating
methodology, refer to the UTMC UTE/UTE-R Design Manual
or consult with a UTMC Applications Engineer.

PHYSICAL DESIGN
Using two or three layers of metal interconnect, UTMC achieves
optimized layouts that maximize speed of critical nets, overall
chip performance, and design density up to 125,000+ equivalent
gates.
Test Capability
UTMC supports all phases of test development from test stim-
ulus generation through high-speed production test. This
support includes ATPG, fault simulation, and fault grading.
Scan design options are available on all UTE/UTE-R storage
elements. In addition, all UTE/UTE-R arrays feature JTAG
boundary-scan (per IEEE Standard 1149.1). Automatic test pro-
gram development capabilities handle large vector sets for use
with UTMC’s LTX/Trillium MicroMasters, supporting high-
speed testing (up to 80MHz with pin multiplexing).
Unparalleled Quality and Reliability
UTMC is dedicated to satisfying the demanding quality and
reliability requirements of aerospace and defense systems sup-
pliers. Quality assurance and reliability programs are integrated
into the entire manufacturing process with Statistical Process
Control (SPC) fully implemented for all manufacturing opera-
tions. These high quality standards have enabled UTMC to offer
product in accordance with:
MIL-PRF-38535, QML Q and V
MIL-PRF-38535 Appendix A
Other enhanced reliability flows
Because of numerous product variations permitted with custom-
er specific designs, much of the reliability testing is performed
using a Standard Evaluation Circuit (SEC) and Technology
Characterization Vehicle (TCV). Thus, UTMC can assure high
reliability prior to delivery of product to the customer.
Radiation Hardened
UTMC incorporates radiation-hardening techniques in process
design, design rules, array design, power distribution, and li-
brary element design. All key radiation-hardening process
parameters are controlled and monitored using statistical meth-
ods and in-line testing.
