    摘要: Circuitry added to CMOS memory cell configured to enable tunneling through its PMOS and NMOS transistors, the circuitry preventing leakage current during programming. The circuitry includes a separate NMOS pass gate for connecting the source of the NMOS transistor of the CMOS cell to Vss. The gate of the NMOS pass gate is controlled to turn off the NMOS transistor during programming through the PMOS transistor to prevent current loss on the Vss line. The NMOS pass gate further provides a means for enabling or disabling the NMOS transistor making the CMOS cell useful as an array cell for a PAL device.

    摘要: An apparatus and method, the apparatus including an NMOS pass gate separating NMOS and PMOS transistors of a CMOS memory cell configured for tunneling during program and erase through the NMOS and PMOS transistors. The additional NMOS pass gate enables the CMOS memory cell to be utilized as a memory cell in a programmable logic device (PLD). The method includes steps for programming and erasing CMOS memory cells to prevent current leakage. The steps include applying specific voltages to the sources of the NMOS and PMOS transistors during program and erase, rather than leaving either source floating. Such voltages can be applied during program or erase without additional pass gates being connected to the sources of the PMOS or NMOS transistors of individual CMOS cells, or the additional pass gate provided between the drains of the PMOS and NMOS as in the described apparatus.

    摘要: A CMOS memory cell including a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor having a common floating gate with a gate oxide region of both the NMOS and PMOS transistors providing a tunneling window for program and erase. The PMOS and NMOS transistors of the CMOS memory cell are biased so that only the PMOS transistor is utilized during programming and only the NMOS transistor is utilized during erase to prevent depletion of the substrate beneath the tunneling oxide regions. The CMOS memory cell further includes a separate PMOS pass transistor for supplying a program voltage to the source of the PMOS transistor underlying the common floating gate, so that an NMOS threshold does not have to be added to the program voltage.

A register-feeding multiplexer means may be provided for allowing each of the plural registers to equivalently capture and store a result signal output by the corresponding, base LUT of the plural registers. Registerable, primary and secondary feedthroughs may be provided for each base LUT so that locally-acquired input signals of the LUT may be fed-through to the corresponding, in-block registers for register-recovery purposes without fully consuming (wasting) the lookup resources of the associated, base LUT. A multi-stage, input switch matrix (ISM) may be further provided for acquiring and routing input signals from adjacent, block-interconnect lines (AIL's) and/or block-intra-connect lines (e.g., FB's) to the base LUT's and/or their respective, registerable feedthroughs. Techniques are disclosed for utilizing the many in-block registers and/or the registerable feedthroughs and/or the multi-stage ISM's for efficiently implementing various circuit designs by appropriately configuring such register-intensive FPGA's.

    摘要: An input/output buffer is provided with an output buffer portion which can be used to make an integrated circuit selectively compatible with one of a number of interface types, such as PCI, GTL, PECL, ECL and SSTI. An output buffer portion has an input for receiving an output signal node (D) where components on the integrated circuit provide an output signal for connecting to external circuits at an output pad (PAD). The input buffer includes switching circuitry driving the gates of multiple CMOS buffer transistors to provide sufficient current for rapid switching, and limit current after switching to prepare for a subsequent output transition. The switching circuitry includes components to prevent damage to low voltage transistors used in the output buffer should the output pad (PAD) voltage exceed VDD, or should charge buildup occur on the common well of PMOS transistors used in the output buffer exceed VDD.

An output buffer portion has an input for receiving an output signal node (D) where components on the integrated circuit provide an output signal for connecting to external circuits at an output pad (PAD). The signal from the PAD is further fed back through the input buffer portion which programmably set to operate in a PCI, PECL or GTL mode to control a node (INB).

    摘要: A power converter includes an opamp (FIG. 5) with CMOS transistors made using 2.5 volt process technology which tolerates a maximum gate voltage of 2.7 volts. The opamp is driven by a pin supply voltage (NV3EXT) with a maximum value of 3.6 volts. The connection of the transistors of the opamp (FIG. 5) provides a maximum gate to source, and gate to drain voltage on each transistor which is less than 2.7 volts when NV3EXT is at 3.6 volts. Further, the output (OUT) of the opamp (FIG. 5) is referenced to ground, rather than NV3EXT to prevent fluctuations in the input voltage offset relative to NV3EXT, and minimize variations in the output voltage margin of the power converter.

    摘要: A voltage switch is provided made up of 2.5 volt process transistors which tolerate a maximum gate to source, gate to drain, or drain to source voltage of 2.7 volts. The voltage switch transistors are arranged to switch between a voltage, such as 2.5 volts, and a much higher voltage, such as 4.5 volts. In one embodiment (350), the voltage switch includes an input provided to the source of an NMOS cascode connected transistor (360). An inverter (354) connects the source of the NMOS cascode (360) to the source of another NMOS cascode (361). A cascode transistor is defined as being connected so that it is turned on and off by varying source voltage with the gate voltage fixed, rather than varying gate voltage. Gates of the cascodes (360, 361) are connected to Vcc (2.5 volts). PMOS cascode transistors (362) and (363) connect the drains of respective cascode transistors (360) and (361) to PMOS transistors (364) and (365). The PMOS transistors (364) and (365) have sources connected to 4.5 volts. A PMOS transistor (366) has a gate tied to the drain of cascode (361) and provides Vcc to the switch output (n10). A PMOS transistor (368) has a gate tied to the gate of transistor 365 and supplies 4.5 volts to the switch output (n10). In operation, the switch (350) functions to selectively transition its output (n10) between Vcc and 4.5 volts without applying greater than 2.7 volts from the gate to source, gate to drain, or source to drain of any of its transistors.
