Abstract: This paper presents a full-custom design of a multi-port 32x32 bits register file with 6 read ports and 2 write ports, including architecture design, circuit design, layout design, simulation and verification, modeling and library compiling. As all read/write ports are independent, it can read 6 32-bit data and write 2 32-bit data simultaneously in one clock cycle. The design employs high-speed SCL address-decoder and word-line grouping method to reduce access delay. Its layout is realized in 0.18μm 6-layer-metal P-trap CMOS technology and passes final verification and post simulation.

Key words: multi-port register file, high-speed SCL structure, full-custom design, top-down design flow

摘要: 采用全定制设计方法实现了一种6读2写的3232位的多端口寄存器堆,包括结构设计、电路设计、版图设计、仿真验证以及建模建库。该多端口寄存器堆的读写端口互相独立,在一个时钟周期内,能够同时读出6个32位数据,并写入2个32位数据。在电路实现上,采用高速SCL结构的地址译码和分组字线的方法来减少读写延迟。采用了0.18µm 6层金属P阱CMOS工艺来实现版图设计,通过了版图验证和后端仿真。
