Figure 1. ACEX 1K Device Block Diagram
ACEX 1K devices provide six dedicated inputs that drive the flipflops’
control inputs and ensure the efficient distribution of high-speed, low-
skew (less than 1.0 ns) control signals. These signals use dedicated routing
channels that provide shorter delays and lower skews than the FastTrack
Interconnect routing structure. Four of the dedicated inputs drive four
global signals. These four global signals can also be driven by internal
logic, providing an ideal solution for a clock divider or an internally
generated asynchronous clear signal that clears many registers in the
device.
