摘要： 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： Methods and apparatus for providing either high-speed, or lower-speed, flexible inputs and outputs. An input and output structure having a high-speed input, a high-speed output, a low or moderate speed input, and an low or moderate speed output is provided. One of the input and output circuits are selected and the others are deselected. The high-speed input and output circuits are comparatively simple, in one example having only a clear signal for a control line input, and are able to interface to lower speed circuitry inside the core of an integrated circuit. The low or moderate speed input and output circuits are more flexible, for example, having preset, enable, and clear as control line inputs, and are able to support JTAG boundary testing. These parallel high and lower speed circuits are user selectable such that the input output structure is optimized between speed and functionality depending on the requirements of the application.

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 method and apparatus for updating the control signal received by a delay chain in a DDR application. A register is used to regulate the control signal to the delay chain. The register only updates the signal at the delay chain when a signal is not passing through the delay chain. Additionally, the present invention is directed to a delay circuit that uses a plurality of PMOS and NMOS transistors connected in parallel to each other and to an inverter that provides the desired delay. The delay provided is achieved by sequentially turning off/on a series of the NMOS/PMOS transistor pairs.

摘要： A circuit provides a programmable phase shift feature, where the phase shift is programmably selectable by a user. This circuitry may be incorporated in a programmable logic device (PLD) or field programmable gate array (FPGA) to provide additional programmability features. The programmable phase shift circuitry may be implemented within a phase locked loop (PLL) or delay locked loop (DLL) circuit.
