    摘要: Described are systems for producing differential logic signals. These systems can be adapted for use with different loads by programming one or more programmable elements. One embodiment includes a series of driver stages, the outputs of which are connected to one another. The driver stages turn on successively to provide increasingly powerful differential amplification. This progressive increase in amplification produces a corresponding progressive decrease in output resistance, which reduces the noise associated with signal reflection. The systems can be incorporated into programmable IOBs to enable PLDs to provide differential output signals.

    摘要: A configuration memory architecture for an FPGA that eliminates the need for a regular array of word lines and bit lines is disclosed. The memory is comprised, in the preferred embodiment, of a plurality of memory bytes. Each memory byte has eight SRAM latches, a single flip flop and a one-of-eight decoder having a data input coupled to the inverting output of the flip flop and eight individual data outputs, each of which is coupled to a data input of one of the SRAM latches. The decoder also has address and write control inputs which are coupled to a state machine or other programmable device that controls the sequencing of the loading operation to load configuration data into the memory. The flip flops of all the memory bytes are coupled together in a serpentine shift register. Loading of configuration data involves shutting all paths through the decoder down, shifting all configuration bits for the “0” position SRAM latch of each memory byte into the shift register, and setting the address bits to the decoder so as to create a conductive path in each memory byte from the output of the flip flop to the data input of the selected SRAM latch. The process is then repeated for all other SRAM latches.

    摘要: A data alignment and deskewing module includes a delay calibration unit, a data alignment and deskew unit, and a delay unit. The delay calibration unit is operably coupled to generate a reference signal based on a reference clock and a mirrored delay line output signal. The data alignment and deskew unit is operably coupled to determine a delay selection signal based on a delayed and deskewed representation of an input data stream and propagation delay of a line on which the input data stream is received. The delay unit is operably coupled to produce the delayed and deskewed representation of the input data stream based on the reference signal and the delay selection signal.
