摘要:
A method for positioning components of a system onto a target device utilizing programmable logic devices (PLDs) is disclosed. A first location on the target device for a first logic region having a first component is determined. Determined properties of the first logic region are preserved. The first logic region is integrated with a second logic region having a second component in view of the determined properties.
摘要:
A programmable logic device (“PLD”) architecture includes logic elements (“LEs”) grouped together in clusters called logic array blocks (LABs”). To save area, local feedback resources (for feeding outputs of the LEs in a LAB back to inputs of LEs in the LAB) are reduced or eliminated as compared to in the prior art. Because all (or at least more) of any LE-output-to-LE-input connections of LEs that are working together in a LAB must be routed through the general-purpose input routing resources of the LAB, it is important to conserve those resources. This is accomplished, for example, by giving greater importance to finding logic functions that have common inputs when deciding what logic functions to implement together in a LAB.

A programmable logic device (PLD) includes a non-volatile memory, a configuration memory, and a control circuitry. The control circuitry couples to the non-volatile memory and to the configuration memory. A set of voltages are derived from the outputs of the control circuitry, and are applied to circuitry within the PLD.
摘要:
A programmable logic element grouping for use in multiple instances on a programmable logic device includes more than the traditional number of logic elements sharing secondary signal (e.g., clock, clock enable, clear, etc.) selection circuitry. The logic elements in such a grouping are divided into at least two subgroups. Programmable interconnection circuitry is provided for selectively applying signals from outside the grouping and signals fed back from the logic elements in the grouping to primary inputs of the logic elements in the grouping. The programmable interconnection circuitry limits possible application of at least some of these signals to one or the other of the subgroups, and/or provides for possible application of at least some of these signals to a greater percentage of the primary inputs to one of the subgroups than to the other.

摘要:
A programmable logic device includes an array of functional blocks and input/output elements disposed at the periphery of the programmable logic device. The programmable logic device also includes conductors configured to conduct signals between the functional blocks and between the functional blocks and the routing channels. The number of conductors that propagate signals in a direction toward the periphery and out of the array is greater than the number of conductors that propagate signals into the array in a direction away from the periphery.

摘要:
A method for designing a system on a target device includes performing delay annotation where a first delay associated with a first aspect of the system is determined by a first software thread and a second delay associated with a second aspect of the system is determined by a second software thread and the first and second software threads operate in parallel. Ensuring independence between each aspect of the system will facilitate efficient parallelism (i.e. minimal synchronization) while still maintaining serial equivalency.
