摘要:
A programmable logic integrated circuit device has several features which help it perform according to the PCI Special Interest Group's Peripheral Component Interface ("PCI") signaling protocol. Some of the registers on the device are closely coupled for data input and output to data signal input/output pins of the device. The clock signal input terminals of at least these registers are also closely coupled to the clock signal input pin of the device. Programmable input delay is provided between the data signal input/output pins and the data input terminals of the above-mentioned registers to help compensate for clock signal skew on the device.
摘要:
A programmable logic device has subregions of programmable logic grouped together in logic regions. The subregions in each region share several control signals, which can be selected either from relatively global conductors on the device or from data inputs to the region. The control signals allow synchronous or asynchronous clearing of a register in each subregion. The control signals also allow synchronous loading of the register in each subregion, and the data loaded can be either one of the data inputs to the subregion (so-called lonely register operation) or a signal produced by the logic of the subregion.

Method and circuitry for implementing high speed multiple-data-rate interface architectures for programmable logic devices. The invention partitions I/O pins and their corresponding registers into independent multiple-data rate I/O modules each having at least one pin dedicated to the strobe signal DQS and others to DQ data signals. The modular architecture facilitates pin migration from one generation of PLDs to the next larger generation.
摘要:
Circuits, methods, and apparatus for memory interfaces that compensate for skew between a clock signal and DQ/DQS signals that may be caused by a fly-by routing topology. The skew is compensated by clocking the DQ/DQS signals with a phase delayed clock signal, where the phase delay has been calibrated. In one example calibration routine, a clock signal is provided to a receiving device. A DQ/DQS signal is also provided and the timing of their reception compared. A delay of the DQ/DQS signal is changed incrementally until the DQ/DQS signal is aligned with the clock signal at the receiving device. This delay is then used during device operation to delay a signal that clocks registers providing the DQ/DQS signals. Each DQ/DQS group can be aligned to the clock, or the DQS and DQ signals in a group may be independently aligned to the clock at the receiving device.

摘要:
A programmable logic device is provided with phase-locked loop (“PLL”) or delay-locked loop (“DLL”) circuitry in which the feedback loop circuitry substantially parallels and duplicates a portion of the clock signal distribution network on the device that receives the main PLL/DLL output signal. In this way the distributed feedback loop circuit more readily provides a substantially exact match for the distributed delay experienced by the signal propagating through the clock signal distribution network that the PLL/DLL circuitry serves.
摘要:
A programmable logic integrated circuit device has several features which help it perform according to the PCI Special Interest Group's Peripheral Component Interface (“PCI”) signaling protocol. Regions of programmable logic within the device are closely coupled to the data signal output pins and clock signal input pins such that delay between application of a clock signal to the device and output of a data signal from the device is within PCI signal standards for delay. The device also includes output circuitry that can be configured to selectively invert signals to output enable and data input enable terminals of the output circuitry.
摘要:
A programmable logic array integrated circuit device includes a plurality of regions of programmable logic disposed on the device in a two-dimensional array of intersecting rows and columns of such regions. Each row has a plurality of adjacent horizontal conductors, and each column has a plurality of adjacent vertical conductors. The regions in a row are interspersed with groups of local conductors which interconnect the adjacent regions and the associated horizontal and vertical conductors. The local conductors can also be used for intra-region communication, as well as communication between adjacent regions. Secondary signals such as clocks and clears for the regions can be drawn either from dedicated secondary signal conductors or normal region inputs. Memory cell requirements for region input signal selection are reduced by various techniques for sharing these memory cells.
