CAST ATAIF Core ASIC Implementation Results

The following are sample ASIC pre-layout results, implemented without DRAM for the internal FIFO and using an ATA clock of 133 MHz.

ASIC Technology Logic Eq. Gates
Processor Bus Clock Frequency
UMC 0.18µm1 14,100 100 MHz
UMC 0.18µm2 17,400 263 MHz
UMC 0.13µm2 18,500 500 MHz
UMC 0.09µm1 18,300 50 MHz

Notes:

1 optimized for area
2 optimized for speed, using DMA Controller, max. size data buses, and internal FIFO depth of 512 words
