Abstract :
Sierra Semiconductor Corporation was established in 1983 to serve the market for ASICs requiring its unique Triple Technology. This process technology allows the inclusion of Analogue, Digital and EEPROM on a single device. A library of over 300 cells has been developed for the 2 micron CMOS process including a 34 MHz phase locked loop and an 8-bit microcontroller core, based on National Semiconductor´s COP800. The author describes the development of a chip that combined the elements of Analogue, Digital, EEPROM and Microprocessor circuitry in a single device
