C65SPACE:Rad hard 65nm CMOS technology platform for space applications

The C65SPACE is fabricated on a proprietary 65nm, 7 metal layers CMOS process intended for use with a core voltage of 1.2V ±0.10V.The ST standard-cells, memories and PLL have been designed and characterized to be compatible with each other.
