Memory Products
Dolphin Technology maintains a broad IP portfolio of Memory Compilers, Specialty Memory and Memory Test & Repair (Memory BIST), providing SoC designers with solutions optimized for low power, high performance and high density across a broad range of process technologies. These solutions feature advanced power management capabilities – such as light sleep, deep sleep, power gating, dual rails and more – that meet even the most demanding low-power, low-leakage requirements. We currently support memories with the following foundries.
TSMC – Memory Compilers & Specialty Memory
Dolphin’s Memory Compilers and Specialty Memory (ROM, Multi-Port RF, CAM, etc.) for TSMC utilize highly optimized memory blocks assembled by our veteran team of memory design experts. These memories have been successfully proven in many generations of silicon, and are currently used by many of the world’s premier technology companies. TSMC compilers are available in the following technology levels:
| 80GC | 80LP | 80LP_EMF | 90GP |
| 90GT | 90GLP | 90LP_EMF |
IBM
These are currently available in the following technology levels:
| 9SF |
IO Products
Dolphin Technology offers one of the industry’s largest selections of Interface IP, all of which has been optimized for ultra high performance across all processes supported. Our I/O portfolio includes:
- Standard I/O (General Purpose I/O or GPIO)
- Specialty I/O (bus-specific I/O)
- NAND Flash I/O
- DDR4/3/2 & LPDDR3/2 I/O
We specialize in Staggered, Inline and Flip Chip pads with aggressive pitch for the most demanding designs, whether pad or core limited. Plus, our I/O Compiler enables us to customize the entire library based on process-specific and chip-specific options.
