    摘要: Programmable logic devices which include multiple blocks of combinatorial function generators and storage elements, and which are interconnected by a programmable interconnect structure are used, among other things for performing arithmetic functions which use logic for generating the carry function. When a large number of bits is to be processed, the carry function typically causes significant delay or requires significant additional components to achieve a result at high speed. The present invention provides dedicated hardware within the logic blocks for performing the carry function quickly and with a minimum number of components. The invention takes advantage of the fact that a carry signal to be added to two bits can be propagated to the next more significant bit when the two binary bits to be added are unequal, and that one of the bits can serve as the carry signal when the bits are equal.

    摘要: A structure especially useful in a configurable logic array includes a plurality of conductive interconnect lines located along the perimeter of a logic array chip. Lines running from exterior pins or pads can be used by a programmable interconnect circuit to control signals applied to these interconnect lines. In particular, both the signal and the complement of the signal can be used by the programmable interconnect to control application of a supply voltage to an interconnect line. A second supply voltage is applied through a resistor to the interconnect line with the result that the interconnect line will carry a logical signal representing a logical function, for example AND, of a selected set of input signals or their complements. Lines running from points interior to the configurable logic array chip may also contribute to the signal generated on an interconnect line. In one embodiment, bidirectional programmable interconnect circuits allow the input pins to function as either input or output pins. An application of the decoder circuit is described for use with a latch as a data/address demultiplexer.

    摘要: A programmable interconnect for programmably connecting transmission lines which are part of a configurable logic array is combined with a buffer at locations within the logic array where a signal will travel from a low capacitance line to a higher capacitance line. Use of a buffer in this arrangement allows for programmable interconnects controlling the configuration of the logic array to be smaller; consuming less power and providing for faster rise and fall of an output signal even when propagating through a long series of programmable interconnects. Several arrangements for programmably controlling the interconnect are taught. Also taught is a means of achieving a very wide AND gate without the need for cascading smaller devices.

    摘要: A bidirectional buffer having a high impedance state is provided. This buffer is used for amplifying a signal as it is passed from one transmission line to another when it is desirable to select which direction the signal will flow. A switching circuit controls which transmission line is connected to the input terminal of the buffer and which is connected to the output terminal. A high impedance state is also provided for disconnecting the two transmission lines. Two memory cells control the direction of signal flow and the high impedance state.

    摘要: A TTL/CMOS compatible input buffer includes an input inverter and a reference voltage generator. In the TTL mode, the reference voltage generator supplies a reference voltage to the source of the P-channel transistor in the inverter having a magnitude which forces the trigger point of the input inverter to assume a preselected value. Typically the preselected value is selected to be 1.4 volts in order to maximize the input noise margins. A second stage input inverter introduces hysteresis to improve the noise immunity of the system. The reference voltage generator includes an operational amplifier connected to a voltage divider network. In the CMOS mode, the reference voltage generator is disabled and a voltage equal to power supply voltage is provided to the input inverter. As a result, the trigger point of input inverter is higher than 1.4 volts which provides a larger input noise margin. The voltage divider network and the operational amplifier are powered down so that no DC power is consumed.
