摘要： Structures enabling the efficient testing of interconnect in programmable logic devices (PLDS), and methods utilizing these structures. A PLD includes a non-homogeneous array of programmable logic blocks and an array of standardized interconnect blocks, where the same interconnect block is used for different types of logic blocks. Coupled between each of the interconnect blocks and the associated logic block is a standardized test structure, allowing the same test configuration to be used for each interconnect block even though the interconnect blocks are associated with logic blocks of different types. In some embodiments, one or more types of logic blocks are not associated with standardized test structures. These logic blocks are coupled directly to their associated interconnect blocks, and are preferably of a type that can be configured to emulate the standardized test structure. Thus, by a correct application of configuration data all of the interconnect blocks display the same behavior.

摘要： A configurable logic block (CLB) slice is provided that includes a single path for a carry input signal to propagate through the CLB slice as a carry output signal. This single path includes a multiplexer that is configured to receive the input signals (including the carry input signal) and provides an output signal that can be routed as the carry output signal. A driver circuit can be coupled to the output terminal of the multiplexer, thereby improving the drive of the single path. A separate path is provided in parallel with the first multiplexer path, thereby enabling the carry input signal to be applied to exclusive OR gates within the CLB slice, or to be provided as an intermediate carry output signal. The single path provides a relatively fast and consistent manner of routing the carry input signal through the CLB slice as the carry output signal. The first and second paths accommodate a carry initialization signal as well as an intermediate carry input signal.

摘要： Described are methods and circuits for aligning data and clock signals. Methods in accordance with some embodiments separate incoming data into three differently timed data signals: an early signal, an intermediate signal, and a late signal. The timing of the three data signals can be collectively moved with respect to the clock signal. In addition, the temporal spacing between the three signals can be adjusted so that the early and late signals define a window encompassing the intermediate signal. The three signals are aligned with respect to the clock edge to center the intermediate data signal on the clock edge. The early and late signals can be monitored to identify changes in the relative timing of the clock and data signals. Some embodiments automatically alter the timing of the data and/or clock signals to keep the intermediate data signal centered on the clock edge.

摘要： A configurable logic block (CLB) having a plurality of identical configurable logic element (CLE) slices is provided. Each CLE slice includes a plurality of function generators (lookup tables) that can be configured to form a random access memory (RAM). The width and depth of the RAM are selectable by controlling the routing of signals within the CLE slices. A hierarchy of wide function multiplexers (F5, F6, and F7 multiplexers) are provided to selectively route read data values from the lookup tables. Another set of multiplexers is used to selectively route write data values to the lookup tables. These multiplexers can be configured to provide a single write data value to all of the lookup tables to form a deep RAM. Alternatively, these multiplexers can be configured to provide one write data value to half of the lookup tables, and another write data value to the other half of the lookup tables. This pattern repeats down to the level where these multiplexers can be configured to provide a different write data value to each of the lookup tables. A write control circuit is also provided in each CLE slice to provide write enable signals to the lookup tables in a manner consistent with the selected RAM size. Read and write addresses are provided in a manner that enables the CLB to be operated as a dual-port RAM having selectable width and depth.

According to another aspect of the invention, a single input reference voltage and/or a single output voltage supply is applied to each IOB, with the IOBs grouped into sets.

摘要： A RAM block includes a circuit for causing the RAM to provide a reset value on the output or a previously captured output value from the RAM when a Reset signal is active. The Reset signal does not change the RAM contents but causes all outputs of the block RAM to be either a reset value or a capture value, as selected by the user. This is useful when the RAM block is configured as a state machine. Thus, in an FPGA or other programmable device, an application can start the state machine in a known state with all address bits equal to 0 and can reset the state machine to this startup state. When the reset signal is active, the state machine can feed back the reset value or capture value to the address inputs of the RAM block that receive state feedback data, regardless of the data actually in those locations.
摘要翻译： RAM块包括用于当复位信号有效时使RAM在输出上提供复位值或从RAM提供先前捕获的输出值的电路。复位信号不会更改RAM内容，但会导致块RAM的所有输出为用户选择的复位值或捕捉值。当RAM块被配置为状态机时，这是有用的。因此，在FPGA或其他可编程器件中，应用程序可以在所有地址位等于0的已知状态下启动状态机，并可将状态机复位到该启动状态。当复位信号有效时，状态机可以将接收状态反馈数据的复位值或捕获值反馈给RAM块的地址输入，无论这些位置中的数据如何。

摘要： A set of logic elements can be configured as a cascadable shift register. In one embodiment, a logic element for an FPGA can be configured as any one of a random access memory, a cascadable shift register and a lookup table. The data-in path to the shift register includes a cascade multiplexer for optionally forming large shift registers using multiple logic elements. Each logic element includes a plurality of memory cells which are interconnected such that the data output of each memory cell can serve as the input to the next memory cell, causing the logic element to function as a shift register. The cascade multiplexer allows the last bit of one logic element to be connected to the first bit of the next logic element, bypassing any decode logic of the lookup table. Variable tap shift registers of arbitrary length can be created by cascading lookup tables of plural logic elements in series. The lookup table decode logic plus additional multiplexers can be used to select any memory cell (not necessarily the last memory cell) of the shift register.
