PA-RISC Fabrication from TTL to CMOS

HP designed all of its PA-RISC processors inhouse for two decades and fabbed them as well for more than a decade. HP manufactured PA-RISC processors in its own facilities in Colorado, from the 1986 TS-1 in TTL to 64-bit PA-8200 in CMOS , 1997. Close to PA-RISC s Decline, HP switched to Intel fabs for two years and then to IBM in 2001 for CMOS SoI. Fabrication Year CPU Die mm and gates FETs Process…
