This paper describes the design and development of module generators for metallized single-port and dual-port static RAMs (SPRAM and DPRAM) for a 0.5 micron embedded-array family. These generators offer an ASIC designer the ability to choose RAMs of user-defined size with some flexibility on the aspect ratio. An automatic generator characterisation (AGC) tool developed to efficiently characterize RAM generators is discussed.
