    摘要: A technique to provide higher system performance by increasing amount of data that may be transferred in parallel is to increase the number of external pins available for the input and output of user data (user I/O). Specifically, a technique is to reduce the number of dedicated pins used for user I/O, leaving more external pins available for user I/O. The dedicated pins used to implement a function such as the JTAG boundary scan architecture may be also be used to provide other functionality, such as to select the programming modes. In a specific embodiment, a JTAG instruction code that is not already used for a JTAG boundary scan instruction stored in an instruction register (220) may be used to replace the programming mode select pins (252) in a programmable logic device (PLD).

    摘要: A phase-locked loop circuit (“PLL”) is adjustable in both phase and frequency. By providing a plurality of taps on the voltage-controlled oscillator of the PLL, and providing separate multiplexers, each of which can select a different tap—one for the PLL feedback loop and one for the PLL output—one allows the user to adjust the phase of the output relative to that of the input. Similarly, by providing loadable pre-scale (divide by N), post-scale (divide by K) and feedback-scale (divide by M) counters, one allows the user to adjust the frequency of the output to be M/(NK) times that of the input.

    摘要: A programmable variable depth and width random-access memory circuit is provided. The memory circuit contains rows and columns of memory cells for storing data. A row decoder is used to address individual rows of the memory cells. Column address circuitry receives a column address signal and a width and depth selection signal. A column decoder within the column address circuitry addresses one or more columns of memory cells of the RAM array based on the selected width of the array. The output of the column decoder is routed to the appropriate column or columns of memory cells by a pattern of fixed connections and a group of programmable multiplexers. The number of data output lines to which data signals are provided is determined by the selected width of the RAM array. The output circuitry contains a group of programmable demultiplexers and a routing array having a pattern of fixed connections suitable for passing data signals from the RAM array to the selected number of data output lines.
