摘要:
A method for designing a system on a target device utilizing field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) includes synthesizing a design for the system. Components in the design are mapped onto resources on the target device. Placement locations are determined for the components on the target device. The design for the system is restructured after placement locations for the components are determined to improve timing for the system.

A programmable logic region on a programmable integrated circuit may include a first set of look-up tables that receive programmable logic region input signals and a second set of look-up tables that produce programmable logic region output signals. Multiplexer circuitry may be interposed between the first and second sets of look-up tables. The multiplexer circuitry may receive the programmable logic region input signals in parallel with the output signals from the first set of look-up tables and may provide corresponding selected signals to the second set of look-up tables. The programmable logic region input signals may be shared by the first and second sets of look-up tables. Logic circuitry may be coupled to outputs of the first and second sets of look-up tables. The logic circuitry may be configured to logically combine output signals from the first and second sets of look-up tables.

A method for designing a system on a target device includes entering the system. The system is synthesized. The system is mapped. The system is placed on the target device. The system is routed. Physical synthesis is performed on the system immediately after more than one of the entering, synthesizing, mapping, placing and routing procedures.

摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for mapping logic functions from logic elements (“LEs”) into synchronous embedded memory blocks (“EMBs”) of programmable logic devices (“PLDs”). This technique increases the amount of logic that can fit into the PLD. Where area savings are significant, smaller PLDs may be selected to implement a particular circuit. One aspect of the invention relates to methods for identifying sequential cones of logic that may be mapped into synchronous EMBs. After the sequential logic cones are identified for mapping into a synchronous EMB, the logic cone may be selected, expanded, restructured, and retimed, as necessary, to implement the mapping. Another aspect of the invention relates to techniques for handling architectural restrictions of synchronous EMBs, such as the inability to implement the asynchronous behavior of synchronous logic.

Operation of a programmable circuit is described. A circuit including a plurality of multiplexers may be used to perform at least one operation on a plurality of signals. The at least one operation may be performed by the multiplexers using a select line coupled to or shared by the multiplexers. Each input of the circuit may couple to a respective output of a plurality of logic elements. As such, the circuit may be used to perform at least one operation on signals supplied from a plurality of logic elements, thereby expanding the functionality of at least one logic element coupled to the circuit and/or increasing the number of logic elements and other resources available for implementing user designs or performing other functions.
摘要:
A method for designing a system on a target device is disclosed. A system is synthesized by converting a high level description of the system into gates, registers, and reset circuitry. An analysis is performed to identify and remove redundant reset circuitry. The system is optimized after the redundant reset circuitry has been removed. Other embodiments are disclosed.

摘要:
A method for designing a system on a target device utilizing field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) includes identifying a group of components associated with a critical signal in the system. A first copy and a second copy of the group of components are generated where the first copy is driven by a first signal at a first state and the second copy is driven by a second signal at a second state. The system is configured to select an output of one of the first copy and the second copy in response to the critical signal.
