    摘要: An improved interconnection between horizontal conductors and the input to logic elements. A signal regeneration circuit is provided in the path between the horizontal conductor and the logic element, thereby isolating and boosting the signal. This allows for faster switching operation. A path is provided allowing the selective routing of signals from the horizontal conductors to the vertical conductors, without passing through a logic element. Also, a path is provided to allow a horizontal conductors to be routed to any of a plurality of vertical conductors.

    摘要: A technique to provide higher system performance by increasing amount of data that may be transferred in parallel is to increase the number of external pins available for the input and output of user data (user I/O). Specifically, a technique is to reduce the number of dedicated pins used for user I/O, leaving more external pins available for user I/O. The dedicated pins used to implement a function such as the JTAG boundary scan architecture may be also be used to provide other functionality, such as to select the programming modes. In a specific embodiment, a JTAG instruction code that is not already used for a JTAG boundary scan instruction stored in an instruction register (220) may be used to replace the programming mode select pins (252) in a programmable logic device (PLD).

    摘要: A programmable logic integrated circuit device has several features which help it perform according to the PCI Special Interest Group's Peripheral Component Interface (“PCI”) signaling protocol. Regions of programmable logic within the device are closely coupled to the data signal output pins and clock signal input pins such that delay between application of a clock signal to the device and output of a data signal from the device is within PCI signal standards for delay. The device also includes output circuitry that can be configured to selectively invert signals to output enable and data input enable terminals of the output circuitry.

    摘要: A programmable logic array integrated circuit device includes a plurality of regions of programmable logic disposed on the device in a two-dimensional array of intersecting rows and columns of such regions. Each row has a plurality of adjacent horizontal conductors, and each column has a plurality of adjacent vertical conductors. The regions in a row are interspersed with groups of local conductors which interconnect the adjacent regions and the associated horizontal and vertical conductors. The local conductors can also be used for intra-region communication, as well as communication between adjacent regions. Secondary signals such as clocks and clears for the regions can be drawn either from dedicated secondary signal conductors or normal region inputs. Memory cell requirements for region input signal selection are reduced by various techniques for sharing these memory cells.
