Title: Faraday analog I/O pad: how to connect
Post by DoYouLinux on Oct 25^th, 2007, 2:51am

Hi all,

Has anyone tried using Analog I/O pads from Faraday technology for 0.18-um UMC before ? I am starting to use it and I found something which is not clear to me.

First, it is indicated in the document that the connection from the "bonding pad" to the "core" of the circuit is linked directly by Metal 1 and Metal 2. I am wondering that, to connect them to the bonding pad and to my circuit, I need to use only Metal 1 or Metal 2. So, if I need to connect them with M6, for example, I need to create my own via starting from Metal 1 (or Metal 2) up to Metal 6 ?

Second, it seems to me that the "ground" pad is quite narrow (even with the cell for "core-limited design"). So, to support larger currents, can I just connect two or three ground pads side by side to each other ?

Thank you in advance all ;)
