    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: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for filtering signals at a high-speed data interface. One exemplary embodiment is particularly configured to filter a clock signal at the end of a data burst received by a double-data rate memory interface. A clock input port is either connected or disconnected to an input cell. When a data burst is to be received, the clock input port is connected to the input cell. When the data burst concludes, the clock input port is disconnected from the input cell. In a specific embodiment, a signal is received indicating that a data burst is about to begin and the clock input port is connected to the input cell. The signal later changes state indicating that the last data bit is being received. When the last clock edge corresponding to the last data bit is received, the clock input port is disconnected from the input cell.

    摘要: An LVDS interface for a programmable logic device uses phase-locked loop (“PLL”) circuits to provide data clocks for data input and output. The PLL clocks are highly accurate and each includes a multiply-by-W counter so that a multiplied and an unmultiplied clock are available. The multiplied clock is used to clock data into or out of a shift register chain serially. The unmultiplied clock is used to load or read the registers in the shift register chain in parallel. Providing both the multiplied and unmultiplied clocks from a single PLL assures that the clocks are in proper phase relationship so that the serial inputting or outputting, and the parallel loading or unloading, are properly synchronized.

    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: Improved decoupling capacitor designs and layout schemes are provided that generate high effective capacitance and high area efficiency at higher frequencies than that of previously known decoupling capacitor designs. The improved decoupling capacitor designs utilize transistor gates with shorter channel lengths to reduce the total parasitic resistance of the channel, thereby providing higher effective capacitance at higher frequencies. To enable higher area efficiency of this decoupling capacitor design, excess contacts are replaced with polysilicon in a grid or waffle pattern.

    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.
