摘要:
A FIFO coordinates with registers of a programmable semiconductor device, wherein the registers are clocked according to an internal clock and words are written into the FIFO according to a write clock. The FIFO includes a read counter responsive to the internal clock to identify a current read address in the FIFO. At a given cycle of the internal clock, the word stored at the current read address of the FIFO may be registered within the registers of the programmable semiconductor device.

In one embodiment, a programmable interconnect includes SERDES circuits dedicated to communicating high-speed data and input/output (I/O) circuits dedicated to communicating low-speed data. A routing structure is configurable to couple a SERDES circuit to another SERDES circuit, a SERDES circuit to an I/O circuit, an I/O circuit to a SERDES circuit, and an I/O circuit to another I/O circuit over routing paths having deterministic routing delays. In another embodiment, the routing structure includes a high-speed routing structure for communicating high-speed data to and from a SERDES circuit and a low-speed routing structure for communicating low-speed data to and from an I/O circuit.

An integrated circuit includes non-volatile and volatile memory, with the volatile memory controlling the integrated circuit's functionality. Various techniques are disclosed for programming the different types of memory through one or more data ports to provide in-system programmability and dynamic reconfigurability. External configuration devices are not required if the data from the non-volatile memory is transferred directly to the volatile memory.

A programmable gate array with an improved interconnect structure facilitates multi-source networks, communication of signals long distances across the array, and creation of networks in a symmetrical interconnect structure. The interconnect includes direct connections for each configurable logic block in the array to eight neighbors, including adjacent configurable logic blocks and next adjacent configurable logic blocks. Also, the interconnect includes uncommitted long lines which are driven by outputs of configurable logic blocks but not committed through the interconnect to inputs of any specific logic block. Rather, the uncommitted long lines are committed to connections to other segments of the interconnect. The interconnect structure also includes staggered switching matrices at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical buses in the interconnect. Repowering buffers that are configurable in both directions are associated with bidirectional lines in the interconnect, and include a bypass path. The interconnect provides for communication of control signals from off the chip, from any configurable logic block in the array, and from the input/output structures in the array to any or all other configurable logic blocks and input/output blocks in the array.
