摘要:
A field programmable gate array (“FPGA”) is provided having integrated application specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) fabric. The ASIC fabric may be used to implement one or more custom or semi-custom hard blocks within the FPGA. The ASIC fabric can be made up of a “custom region” and an “interface region.” The custom region can implement the custom or semi-custom ASIC design and the interface region can integrate and connect the custom region to the rest of the FPGA circuitry. The custom region may be based on a structured ASIC design. The interface region may allow the ASIC fabric to be incorporated within the hierarchical organization of the FPGA, allowing the custom region to connect to the FPGA circuitry in a seamless manner.

An field programmable gate array (FPGA) includes a circuit implemented using the FPGA fabric. The FPGA further includes another circuit implemented as hardened circuitry. The FPGA also includes a configurable interface circuit that is adapted to couple together the two circuits.
摘要:
Various novel aspects are disclosed by reference to an integrated circuit block that includes programmable regions, and extra-block connection pins or points with adapter circuitry, coupled by an interconnect system. Multiple independent interconnects are disclosed within the interconnect system, as are options for the composition of the programmable regions and their connectivity with the interconnect system. Adapter circuitry is disclosed that includes support for coupling extra-block memory circuits or devices using a variety of modes, protocols, and options. Modular circuit blocks provide flexibility at the interface between programmable region and fixed function circuitry.
