Abstract :
Two CMOS semicustom gate forest chips with over 120K active transistors are presented: a digital filter circuit with a performance of 720 MOPS (million operations/s), and a 16-channel 70-Mb/s broadband switch unit. Static and domino cells, analog modules, and multiport RAMs are included. With 1600 transistors per mm2 the chips match the efficiency of 2-μm full-custom designs
