摘要:
A configurable power controller and method for controlling power of a macro circuit block, such as a memory circuit, in multiple power modes is described to help minimize power consumption of the macro circuit block when the application environment for the macro circuit block is in a lower power mode than during its normal power mode.
摘要:
A method and system for automatically building a bit order data structure of configuration bits for a programmable logic device. One embodiment of the present invention first identifies a plurality of memory cells in a hierarchical schematic representation of the programmable device. Next, this embodiment determines a plurality of addresses corresponding to the plurality of memory cells. This embodiment next determines a plurality of logical names for the plurality of memory cells. Then, based on an order in which the plurality of addresses are to be loaded into the programmable logic device, this embodiment orders the plurality of logical names for the plurality of memory cells. Another embodiment first accesses a database comprising a plurality of logical names corresponding to a plurality of addresses. Then, this embodiment accesses a database specifying an order in which the plurality of addresses are to be loaded into the programmable logic device. Next, this embodiment orders the plurality of logical names based on the order specified in the database from the previous step.
摘要:
A clock detection and selection circuit (100) can include a first counter (102-0) that generates a first count value CNT1 according to a first clock signal CLK1 and a second counter (102-1) that generates a second count value CNT2 according to a second clock signal CLK2. First separation-detect logic (102-0) and second separation-detect logic (102-1) determine if a pre-specified difference exists between a first count value (CNT1/CNT1′) and second count value (CNT2/CNT2′). According to such determinations, separation information (INF—1 and INF—2) can be generated indicating which clock signal (CLK1 or CLK2) is faster. Selection logic (106) can select a faster of the clock signals (CLK1 or CLK2) if the separation information values confirm one another.
摘要:
A routing architecture which includes a plurality of switching elements grouped so as to provide one or more outputs for a plurality of inputs, wherein the grouping represents a hierarchy of selection levels. The routing architecture may be configured such that at each of the selection levels fewer outputs are provided than inputs are received. The selection levels may be implemented using one or more multiplexers at each of the levels. The routing architecture may be embodied in a programmable logic device which may also include a number of logic blocks. Each of the logic blocks may be coupled to receive at least one of the outputs of the routing architecture and the programmable logic device may be configured so that a subset of the plurality of inputs to the routing architecture are provided by one or more of the logic blocks.
摘要:
An apparatus comprising a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to (i) generate one or more first parallel data signals in response to a first serial data stream and a first control signal and (ii) generate a second serial data stream in response to one or more second parallel data signals and a second control signal. The second circuit may be configured to write the one or more first parallel data signals to and read the one or more second parallel data signals from an array of storage elements in response to one or more control signals.
