Device sizes are selected for optimal performance, power and area using electrical models of each process. Cell layouts are optimized for maximum density and router efficiency using the process' physical design rules and layout guidelines. Cell Selection SAGE-X Standard Cell Libraries contain more than 500 cells. In addition to the standard functions, there are special cells optimized to provide high performance arithmetic and highly effecient register file functions. These special cells are designed for networking, telecommunications and graphics applications.
All functions are available in at least four drive strengths.
Inverters, buffers, and 3-state drivers are each available in nine drive strengths.
