Abstract:
An efficient method and electronic circuit for initializing latch arrays in an electronic device including an FPGA and a memory device comprising a group of one or more data latches, each comprising a pair of cross-coupled inverting logic elements, characterized in that it includes a means for simultaneously initializing each data latch to a predetermined logic state, without requiring any additional circuit elements with any data latch for this purpose.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a high performance interconnect architecture providing reduced delay minimized electro-migration and reduced area in FPGAs comprising a plurality of tiles consisting of interconnected logic blocks, that are separated by intervening logic blocks. Each set of interconnected logic blocks is linked by an interconnect segment that is routed in a straight line through an interconnect layer over intervening logic blocks and is selectively connected to the logic block at each end through a connecting segment.
Abstract:
An FPCA includes a scheme for peripheral routing that provides symmetrical routing across its entire area including the periphery by incorporating peripheral routing lines of equal length that are symmetrically deflected orthogonally. The symmetrical peripheral routing lines are connected to switch boxes and connection boxes at the periphery for maintaining constant routing channel width.
