Programmable Features
I
High-performance platform design:
— 0.16 μm 6-level metal technology.
— Internal performance of >200 MHz.
— Over 1.5 million usable system gates.
— Meets multiple I/O interface standards.
— 1.5 V operation (30% less power than 1.8 V oper-
ation) translates to greater performance.
I
Traditional I/O selections:
— LVTTL and LVCMOS (3.3 V, 2.5 V & 1.8 V) I/Os.
— Per pin-selectable I/O clamping diodes provide
3.3 V PCI compliance.
— Individually programmable drive capability:
24 mA sink/12 mA source, 12 mA sink/6 mA
source, or 6 mA sink/3 mA source.
— Two slew rates supported (fast & slew-limited).
— Fast-capture input latch and input flip-flop
(FF)/latch for reduced input setup time and zero
hold time.
— Fast open-drain drive capability.
— Capability to register 3-state enable signal.
— Off-chip clock drive capability.
— Two-input function generator in output path.
I
New programmable high-speed I/O:
— Single-ended: GTL, GTL+, PECL, SSTL3/2
(class I & II), HSTL (Class I, III, IV), ZBT, and
DDR.
— Double-ended: LVDS, bused-LVDS, LVPECL.
— Customer defined: Ability to substitute arbitrary
standard cell I/O to meet fast moving standards.
I
New
capability to (de)multiplex I/O signals:
— New DDR on both input and output at rates up to
133 MHz (266 MHz effective rate).
— New 2x and 4x downlink and uplink capability per
I/O (i.e., 50 MHz internal to 200 MHz I/O).
I
Enhanced twin-quad programmable function unit
(PFU):
— Eight 16-bit look-up tables (LUTs) per PFU.
— Nine user registers per PFU, one following each
LUT, and organized to allow two nibbles to act
independently, plus one extra for arithmetic opera-
tions.
— New register control in each PFU has two inde-
pendent programmable clocks, clock enables,
local set/reset, and data selects.
— New LUT structure allows flexible combinations of
LUT4, LUT5, new LUT6, 4
→
1 MUX, new
8
→
1 MUX, and ripple mode arithmetic functions
in the same PFU.
— 32 x 4 RAM per PFU, configurable as single- or
dual-port. Create large, fast RAM/ROM blocks
(128 x 8 in only eight PFUs) using the SLIC
decoders as bank drivers.
— Soft-wired LUTs (SWL) allow fast cascading of up
to three levels of LUT logic in a single PFU
through fast internal routing which reduces routing
congestion and improves speed.
— Flexible fast access to PFU inputs from routing.
— Fast-carry logic and routing to all four adjacent
PFUs for nibble-, byte-wide, or longer arithmetic
functions, with the option to register the PFU
carry-out.
I
Abundant high-speed buffered and nonbuffered rout-
ing resources provide 2x average speed improve-
ments over previous architectures.
I
Hierarchical routing optimized for both local and glo-
bal routing with dedicated routing resources. This
results in faster routing times with predictable and
efficient performance.
I
SLIC provides eight 3-statable buffers, up to 10-bit
decoder, and PAL*-like and-or-invert (AOI) in each
programmable logic cell.
I
Improved built-in clock management with program-
mable phase-locked loops (PPLLs) provide optimum
clock modification and conditioning for phase, fre-
quency, and duty cycle from 20 MHz up to 200 MHz.
I
New 200 MHz embedded quad-port RAM blocks, 2
read ports, 2 write ports, and 2 sets of byte lane
enables. Each embedded RAM block can be config-
ured as:
— 1—512x18 (quad-port, two read/two write) with
optional built in arbitration.
— 1—256x36 (dual-port, one read/one write).
— 1—1Kx9 (dual-port, one read/one write).
— 2—512x9 (dual-port, one read/one write for each).
— 2 RAMS with arbitrary number of words whose
sum is 512 or less by 18 (dual-port, one read/one
write).
— Supports joining of RAM blocks.
— Two 16x8-bit content addressable memory (CAM)
support.
— FIFO 512 x 18, 256 x 36, 1K x 9 or dual 512 x 9.
— Constant multiply (8 x 16 or 16 x 8).
— Dual variable multiply (8 x 8).
I
Embedded 32-bit internal system bus plus 4-bit par-
ity interconnects FPGA logic, microprocessor inter-
face (MPI), embedded RAM blocks, and embedded
standard cell blocks with 100 MHz bus performance.
Included are built-in system registers that act as the
control and status center for the device.
