Accurate Models
TC203 incorporates the new Toshiba highly accurate delay model
which includes the following new features:
Pin to pin type
State Dependent Delay
Table Look Up Delay
Input Slew
Non-Linear Equation
Verilog Sign-off
TC203 is supported by Toshiba’s Verilog Sign-off. This leads to
the following benefits:
Sign-off convenience at designer’s site
Shorter design cycle time
Higher design efficiency
Highly accurate simulation model
Faster time-to-market
Design Kit Support
The Toshiba Design Environment provides support for a wide
range of EDA tools.
DFT Support
DFT support is offered from Toshiba for full scan, partial scan,
boundary scan and built-in self test (BIST).
Megacells
TC203 supports a wide rande of megacells including the 3V, 5V
and Universal PCI buffers and Analog Phase Lock Loops.
Toshiba 0.4
µ
m ASIC family
The Toshiba 0.4
µ
ASIC family consists of the TC200 series for
pure 3V applications and the TC203 series for mixed 3/5V appli-
cations. They both use a 0.36
µ
drawn gate lengths and are avail-
able as Gate array, Embedded array and Standard cell (TC200G,
TC200E, TC200C and TC203G, TC203E,TC203C).
Technology Resource Centers provide technical
support and design expertise
Toshiba ASIC Technology Resource Centers are located through-
out the U.S. and provide a high level of technical expertise for
support before and during a customer ASIC design. This includes
support issues dealing with EDA environments, design kits,
design methodologies, packaging, technologies, and ASIC design
implementation. They are also available for design consultation.
The Technology Resource Centers also provide advanced
application and development engineering support. They are sup-
ported by a U.S. engineering organization based in the Toshiba
Semiconductor Engineering Center in San Jose, California.
High quality, high volume manufacturing capability
Toshiba’s ASIC manufacturing plants are among the largest and
most advanced in the world. They are all certified to ISO9000.
Rigorous production quality control and monitoring coupled with
a sophisticated batch tracking system provides Toshiba with the
ability to meet the requirements of fast ramping, high volume
markets.
Toshiba’s advanced ASIC prototype manufacturing facility
located in Sunnyvale, CA offers the fastest turnaround ASIC pro-
totypes in the industry.
