Think of it this way. You could probably design something logic-compatible, voltage-compatible, speed-compatible... but a chip is fundamentally an analog device

Think of it this way. You could probably design something logic-compatible, voltage-compatible, speed-compatible... but a chip is fundamentally an analog device with sensitivity. You can't change the mask, let alone the process, and still have the same device. Something will be different. Certification is the process of saying the difference is OK.
- erosenbe0 5y agoRight right. I see a lot of pmic parts, newer MCUs, 3.3V and 5V tolerant parts, as well as various FPGAs out of stock. All of these are fabbed on >40nm or more, sometimes much more. Not going to ram 5V through a 7nm finFET.
