摘要:
A field programmable gate array (FPGA) includes a set of monitor circuits adapted to provide indications of process, voltage, and temperature for at least one circuit in the FPGA, and a controller adapted to derive a range of body-bias values for the at least one circuit from the indications of process, voltage, and temperature for the at least one circuit. The FPGA further includes a body-bias generator adapted to provide a body-bias signal to at least one transistor in the at least one circuit. The body-bias signal has a value within the range of body-bias values.

摘要:
An apparatus includes a temperature sensor, a voltage regulator, and a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The temperature sensor and the voltage regulator are adapted, respectively, to provide a temperature signal, and to provide at least one output voltage. The FPGA includes at least one circuit adapted to receive the at least one output voltage of the voltage regulator, and a set of monitor circuits adapted to provide indications of process and temperature for the at least one circuit. The FPGA further includes a controller adapted to derive a body-bias signal and a voltage-level signal from the temperature signal, from the indications of process and temperature for the at least one circuit, and from the at least one output voltage of the voltage regulator. The controller is further adapted to provide the body-bias signal to at least one transistor in the at least one circuit, and to provide the voltage-level signal to the voltage regulator.
摘要:
A programmable logic device has a plurality of super-regions of programmable circuitry disposed on the device in a two-dimensional array of such super-regions. Each super-region includes a plurality of regions of programmable logic and a region of programmable memory. Each logic region includes a plurality of subregions of programmable logic. Each super-region has associated interconnection resources for allowing communication between the logic and memory regions of that super-region without the need to use, for such relatively local interconnections, the longer-length inter-super-region interconnection resources that are also provided on the device.
摘要:
Programmable interconnection group arrangements for selectively interconnecting logic on a programmable logic device are provided. Interconnection groups may be programmed to route signals between the various conductors on the device, and to route signals from various logic regions on the device to the various conductors. The interconnection groups provide routing flexibility and efficiency without using excessive amounts of interconnection resources.

A programmable logic device (PLD) includes at least two regions. Each region includes electrical circuitry that has a set of transistors. Each of the two regions has a corresponding fixed transistor threshold voltage, a corresponding fixed transistor body bias, and a corresponding fixed supply voltage.

摘要:
Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide integrated circuits having memories with multiple sizes. The memories may be dedicated embedded memories, or they may be distributed memories formed using memories or lookup tables in logic elements or other appropriate circuits. Configuration bits not needed by logic elements used for distributed memories can be used for data storage as well. These various memories may be combined or otherwise linked or chained together in different combinations to form larger memories of varying sizes.
