Description

The Atmel ATC18M is fabricated on a proprietary 0.18 µm, up to six-layer-metal

CMOS process intended for use with a supply voltage of 1.8V ± 0.15V. Table 1 shows

the range for which Atmel library cells have been characterized.

The Atmel cell libraries and megacell compilers have been designed in order to be

compatible with each other. Simulation representations exist for three types of operat-

ing conditions. They correspond to three characterization conditions defined as

follows:

•

MIN conditions:

–T

–

–

Process = fast

•TYP conditions:

Process = typ

•

MAX conditions:
