Tony: Thanks for that. Here's one more thing about G12 from the IP98 forum - LSI wants to put a GSM phone IN your ear! (So into what do we then speak into! ... [joke] ) ---- LSI's 0.18æm process for SOC designs by Chris Edwards of Electronics Times - 24/3/98 LSI Logic has taken the wraps off G12T, an 0.18æm process which it says will allow complete designs to built on one piece of silicon. According to Iain Jackson, director of marketing of LSI in Europe, the process will make it possible to build "SOC designs that combine all the necessary functions of a consumer electronic product, such as memory, processing, radio frequency and control, on a single microchip". The company reckons it can get 26 million gates on to a 20 x 20mm chip and that the CMOS process will support RF as well as embedded memory circuits. LSI is looking to designs that can pack the functions of a GSM phone into a device that fits inside the ear. With prototypes expected to start running in towards the end of the year, LSI expects to go into production in the second quarter of 1999.
