The Atmel cell libraries have been designed in order to be compatible with each other. Simula-
tion representations exist for three types of operating conditions. They correspond to the
characterization conditions defined as follows:
• MIN conditions (industrial best case):
T
J
= -40° C
V
DD
(cell) = 1.95V
Process = fast
• TYP conditions (industrial typical case):
T
J
= +25° C
V
DD
(cell) = 1.8V
Process = typ
• MAX conditions (industrial worst case):
T
J
= +100° C
V
DD
(cell) = 1.60V
Process = slow
Delays to tristate are defined as delay to turn off (VGS < VT) of the driving devices.
Output pad drain current corresponds to the output current of the pad when the output voltage is
V
OL
or V
OH
. The output resistor of the pad and the voltage drop due to access resistors (in and
out of the die) are taken into account. In order to have accurate timing estimates, all character-
ization has been run on electrical netlists extracted from the layout database.

2. Standard Cell Library SClib
The Atmel Standard Cell Library, SClib, contains a comprehensive set of combinational logic
and storage cells. The SClib library includes cells which belong to the following categories:
• Buffers and Gates
• Multiplexers
• Flip-flops
• Scan Flip-flops
• Latches
• Adders and Subtractors
2.1
Decoding the Cell Name
Table 2-1
shows the naming conventions for the cells in the SClib library. Each cell name begins
with either a two-, three-, or four-letter code that defines the type of cell. This indicates the range
of standard cells available.

ATC18 Summary
3. Input/Output Pad Cell Libraries IO18lib, IO25lib and IO33lib
The Atmel Input/Output Cell Library IO18lib contains a comprehensive list of input, output, bi-
directional and tristate cells. The ATC18 (1.8V) cell library includes a special set of I/O cells,
IO25lib (IO33lib), for interfacing with external 2.5V (3.3V) devices.
3.1
Voltage Levels
The IO18lib library is made up exclusively of low-voltage chip interface circuits powered by a
voltage level in the range of 1.65V to 1.95V. The library is compatible with SClib, 1.8-volt stan-
dard cell library.
3.2
Power and Ground Pads
Designers are strongly encouraged to provide three kinds of power pairs for the IO18lib library.
These are “AC”, “DC” and core power pairs. AC power is used by the I/O to switch its output
from one state to the other. This switching generates noise in the AC power buses on the chip.
DC power is used by the I/O to maintain its output in a steady state. The best noise performance
is achieved when the DC power buses on the chip are free of noise; you are encouraged to use
separate power pairs for AC and DC power to prevent most of the noise in the AC power buses
from reaching the DC power buses. You can use the same power pairs to supply both DC power
to the I/Os and power to the core without affecting noise performance.
