Description
The ATLV Series CMOS gate arrays employ 1.0
µ-drawn,
double-level metal,
Si-gate, CMOS technology processed in Atmel's U.S.-based, advanced
manufacturing facility. The arrays utilize an enhanced channelless architecture
which results in greater than 50 percent usable gates.
Atmel's flexible design system uses industry design standards and is compatible
with popular CAD/CAE software and hardware packages. The customer can
start designing with the ATLV series today using existing CAD/CAE tools.

Notes: 1. Absolute maximum I/O pins is maximum pin count minus 8. Additional power
and ground pins are assumed to be required to support simultaneous
switching outputs as pin count increases.

ATLV Design
Design Systems Supported
Atmel supports the major CAE/CAD software systems
with complete macro cell libraries (symbols, timing and
function), as well as utilities for checking the netlist and
accurate pre-route delay simulations. Atmel uses Cadence’s
Verilog-XL as our golden simulator. Design systems
which are supported include Cadence, Viewlogic, Mentor,
and Synopsys.
Design Options
Schematic Capture
Schematic capture and simulation are performed by the
customer using an Atmel supplied macro cell library. The
customer can also receive complete back annotation delay
data for post-route simulation.
VHDL/Verilog-HDL
Atmel can accept Register Transfer level (RTL) designs for
VHDL (MIL-STD-454, IEEE STD 1076) or Verilog-HDL
format. Atmel fully supports Synopsys for VHDL simula-
tion as well as synthesis. Design via VHDL or Verilog-
HDL is the preferred method of performing a gate array
design.
Design Flow
While Atmel provides four options for implementing a gate
array design, they all have the same basic flow. Data base
acceptance is the first milestone. This is when Atmel
receives and accepts the complete design data base.
Preliminary design review is where the performance of the
design is set based on the Cadence simulation. Final design
review is the last review of the design before making masks.
The back annotation data is incorporated into the simulations.
After final design review masks are released and prototypes
in ceramic packages are delivered.
ASIC Design Translation
Atmel has successfully translated dozens of existing de-
signs from most major ASIC vendors (LSI Logic, Oki,
NEC, Fujitsu and others) into our gate arrays. These
designs have been optimized for speed, gate count, modi-
fied to add logic or memory, or replicated for a pin-for-pin
compatible, drop-in replacement.

FPGA and EPLD Conversions
Atmel has successfully translated existing FPGA/EPLD
designs from most major vendors (Xilinx, Actel, Altera,
AMD & Atmel) into our gate arrays. The design can be
optimized for speed or power consumption, modified to
add logic or memory or replicated for a pin-for-pin compat-
ible, drop-in replacement. Atmel frequently combines
several devices onto a single gate array.
at the transistor level and verified through measurements
made on fabricated test arrays. The symbols for the ATLV
cell library are compatible with Atmel's ATL (1.0
µ
3.3
and 5.0 V) and ATL80 (0.8
µ
3.3 and 5.0 V) cell libraries.
Existing designs can be easily migrated to the ATLV
series. Characterization has been performed over
commercial temperature and 1.0 to 3.0 volts, to ensure
that the simulation accurately predicts the performance
of the finished product. Atmel is continually expanding
the ATLV series cell library with both soft and hard
macros. Check with your sales representative for the most
recent additions.
ATLV Series Cell Library
Atmel’s ATLV series gate arrays use cells from an
accurately modeled and highly flexible library. The cell
library contains over 120 hard-wired data path elements
and has been characterized via extensive SPICE modeling
