Abstract
A 2.7-V to 3.6-V CMOS gate array with 0.65-μm effective gate length has been developed with an average power of 0.7 μW/gate/MHz and an inverter delay of 184 ps under two standard loads. The 3.3-V optimized compact base cell consists of two large and two small p- and n-channel transistors and achieves a density of one memory bit per base cell; typical memory access time is 7.3 ns. Library characteristics indicate 75% of device power can be conserved by decreasing the device supply voltage from 5 V to 3.3 V
