    摘要: The hot socket detect circuit of the present invention includes a well bias circuit and three hot socket detect blocks.

    摘要: A programmable I/O element for an I/O terminal of a logic array is suitable for operating according to high speed I/O modes such as double data rate and zero bus turnaround. The I/O element may include an input block with two registers for registering input signals from the terminal upon alternate clock edges. In addition or alternatively, it may include an output block with two registers that separately register output signals from the array on the same clock edge and a multiplexer that alternately outputs those signals. For bidirectional terminals, the multiplexer output is connectable to the I/O terminal via an output buffer, and an output enable block provides an enable signal to a gating input of the output buffer. Programmable delays may be included in the input, output, and output enable paths, in particular to provide a slower turn-on time than turn-off time for the output buffer.

    摘要: A Schmitt trigger circuit has an adjustable hysteresis characteristic by providing a plurality of feedback circuits that differently affect at least one, and preferably both, of the circuit's upper trip point level and lower trip point level. The upper trip point level can be adjusted by selecting a desired feedback circuit from a first set of feedback circuits, and/or the lower trip point level can be adjusted by selecting a desired feedback circuit from a second set of feedback circuits. Feedback circuit selection is achieved by one or more control signals that may be programmable. The hysteresis characteristic can be adjusted to meet desired noise margin, delay, and input recognition criteria at different VCC levels. The Schmitt trigger circuit may be a CMOS Schmitt trigger with two input stage NMOS, two input stage PMOS transistors, a first set of NMOS feedback circuits, and a second set of PMOS feedback circuits.

    摘要: A technique to implement functions requiring fewer pins of an integrated circuit to serially transfer data into the integrated circuit for multiple logic blocks. By reducing the required pins, this permits downbonding of the integrated circuit into a package with fewer pins. This technique may be used to implement test Functions in a programmable logic device. Test data may be serially input using a test pin (410) for two or more columns (320) of logic blocks. The test data is stored in an A resister (330), and may be later transferred into a B register (335).

    摘要: Circuits and techniques for operating an integrated circuit (IC) with a configurable input-output circuit are disclosed. A disclosed circuit includes a single-ended input-output buffer coupled to an output terminal. The single-ended input-output buffer is operable to transmit an input signal to the output terminal as an output signal. A pre-emphasis circuit that is operable to sharpen a first edge and a second edge of the output signal is coupled between the single-ended input-output buffer and the output terminal. The first edge of the output signal is sharpened when the input signal switches from a first logic level to a second logic level while the second edge of the output signal is sharpened when the input signal switches from the second logic level to the first logic level.
