Dolphin Integration introduces Orion, the densest ROM

Meylan, France -- November 2nd, 2009 -- Orion is the latest ROM architecture conceived by Dolphin Integration. Benefiting from the “Two in one” Patent for high density, the metal-programmable ROM Orion enables SoC designers to get an impressive decrease of fabrication costs. The Orion architecture is already available for the TSMC 90 nm LP process.

Taking the best of the patented Phoenix ROM architecture optimized for high density and already in mass fabrication, the Orion architecture is enhanced with features giving to it a higher speed. With flexibilities from 4 Mb up to 6 Mb, Orion addresses applications requiring large capacity ROMs such as Bluetooth.

The major advantage of triple-metal programming over the competition for tROMet Orion is its ultra high density: Orion is more than twice denser than traditional ROMs.

The design principles of Dolphin’s ROM bit-cell used within the Orion architecture are so attractive for achieving high-density with speed, whatever the process node and the foundry, that process migrations can be performed on request without any risk on yield.
