    摘要: Input buffer circuitry for handling high-speed differential input signals on an integrated circuit is provided. The input buffer circuitry may use two parallel differential input buffers with overlapping input-voltage ranges. Logic on the integrated circuit may be powered at a core-logic power supply voltage. Input-output circuitry on the integrated circuit may be powered at an input-output voltage level. To improve the performance of the input buffers in the overlap range, at least one the input buffers can be powered using a total power supply voltage drop that exceeds the core-logic power supply level. One of the input buffers may be configured to handle lower-voltage input signals. This input buffer may be powered using the input-output power supply level.

    摘要: A programmable device I/O architecture allows for a variable number of I/O banks. Each I/O bank is of an I/O bank type. Each I/O bank type has a fixed number of I/O pins. I/O banks of the same I/O bank type are compatible within the same programmable device and between different types of programmable devices. The largest size I/O bank type and intermediate size I/O bank types are adapted to be a compatible supersets of every smaller I/O bank type. Support pins are regularly distributed between data pins in each I/O bank type. Multiple instances of the same or compatible I/O banks are arranged to be accessible from different sides of the programmable device. To facilitate circuit board layout, each I/O bank is arranged as a mirror and/or rotation of other I/O banks on the device.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for providing either high-speed, or lower-speed, flexible inputs and outputs. An input and output structure having a high-speed input, a high-speed output, a low or moderate speed input, and an low or moderate speed output is provided. One of the input and output circuits are selected and the others are deselected. The high-speed input and output circuits are comparatively simple, in one example having only a clear signal for a control line input, and are able to interface to lower speed circuitry inside the core of an integrated circuit. The low or moderate speed input and output circuits are more flexible, for example, having preset, enable, and clear as control line inputs, and are able to support JTAG boundary testing. These parallel high and lower speed circuits are user selectable such that the input output structure is optimized between speed and functionality depending on the requirements of the application.

    摘要: A switch circuit selectively provides a reference voltage, needed in some I/O standards, to a logic device. The circuit receives a dedicated power supply that is different from the device's I/O supply. It may also include a level shifting circuit for converting a master control signal having a logic level determined by a first supply to a first control signal having a logic level determined by the dedicated supply. The switch circuit also includes a transmission switch that passes the reference voltage to an output in response to at least the first control signal. The transmission switch may be a CMOS transmission gate with at least one NMOS transistor controlled by the first control signal in parallel with at least one PMOS transistor controlled by a second control signal, complementary to the first. The second control signal may be generated by another level shifting circuit and have a logic level determined by the I/O supply.
