Description
The ATU18 series of ULCs are fully suited for conversion of latest CPLDs and FPGAs.
It supports within one ULC 55Kbits to 847Kbits DPRAM and 45Kgates to 1000
Kgates. Typically, ULC die size is 50% smaller than the equivalent FPGA. Metal level
customisation allows a DPRAM blocks compatibility with Xilinx
or Altera
blocks.
Devices are implemented in high–performance 0.18 um CMOS technology to improve
the design frequency and reach 250Mhz typical application and local clock up to
400Mhz. The architecture of the ATU18 series is dedicated for efficient conversion of
latest CPLD and FPGA device types with higher IO count. A compact RAM cell and a
large number of available gates allow the implementation of memories compatible
with FPGA RAM, as well as JTAG boundary–scan and scan–path testing.
Conversion to the ATU18 series of ULC provides a significant reduction of the operat-
ing power when compared to the original PLD or FPGA. The ATU18 series has a very
low standby consumption, less than 0.145 nA/gate typically at commercial tempera-
ture. Operating consumption is a strict function of clock frequency, which typically
results in a significant power reduction depending on the device being compared. For
a NAND2 cell the dynamic power consumption is 0.124uW/MHz at 1.8V.
