摘要： A programmable logic device (PLD) can be reconfigured without losing state data derived from logical operations performed using a previous logic configuration. One PLD in accordance with the invention includes a number of configurable logic blocks (CLBS) and input/output blocks (IOBs). Each CLB and IOB includes a number of configuration memory cells adapted to store the logical function of the FPGA. Each CLB and IOB additionally includes user storage elements adapted to store state data that results from the PLD performing a programmed logical function, such as a selected combinatorial function of input signals. The PLD preserves the data stored in the user storage element as the PLD is reconfigured. The state data is therefore available for use by the PLD after the PLD is reconfigured to perform a new logic function.

摘要： It is sometimes desirable to encrypt a design for loading into a PLD so that an attacker may not learn and copy the design as it is being copied into the PLD. According to the invention, the encrypted design is decrypted by a key or keys within the PLD that are preserved when power is removed by either being stored in nonvolatile memory or by being backed up with a battery that switches into operation when the power is removed from the PLD.

摘要： A method and structure for verifying interconnect structure of an FPGA device after programming. In a preferred embodiment, after programming, a single wire segment on each net of a layout is pulled down to a low reference voltage. Voltage levels on all wire segments of the device are then captured and shifted out of the device for comparison to the expected values. Low voltage levels on segments expected to remain high reveal short circuit flaws. High voltage levels on segments expected to remain low reveal open circuit flaws.

摘要： This invention provides a structure and method for interconnecting logic devices through line segments which can be joined by programming antifuses. One of several programming lines can be connected through an interconnect line segment to each terminal of each antifuse in the array. Interconnect line segments connected to opposite terminals of the same antifuse are connected to a different programming line in order to be able to apply different voltages to the two terminals of the antifuse. An addressing structure selectively connects interconnect line segments to their respective programming lines, and programming voltages applied to the programming lines cause a selected antifuse to be programmed. A novel addressing feature sequentially addresses two transistors for the line segments to be connected, and takes advantage of a capacitive pumped decoder to maintain the addressed transistors turned on while programming voltages are applied. The structure also allows for testing of logic devices by applying test voltages to the programming voltage lines and/or sensing logic device output on programming voltage lines. The structure and method also permit measuring resistance of the programmed antifuses. No separate testing overhead structure is needed.

摘要： A precision trim circuit for a tuneable delay line is provided. The precision trim circuit provides delays greater than the base delay of the tuneable delay line. By using larger delays than conventional trim circuits, the precision trim circuit of the present invention can use components that react to process and environmental variations in the same manner as the components of the tuneable delay line. Specifically, one embodiment of the precision trim circuit comprises a first delay element providing a delay greater than or equal to the base delay of the tuneable delay line. The precision trim circuit also comprises a second delay element providing a greater delay than the first delay element. A multiplexer coupled to the first delay element and the second delay element is used to select the amount of delay provided by the precision trim circuit. Other embodiments include additional delay elements providing varying delay values.

摘要： A flip-flop includes non-volatile storage of a bit for encryption purposes or other applications. The non-volatile bit remains in the flip-flop, substantially unaltered, irrespective of normal flip-flop operation, and is available to be recalled whenever it is needed. The flip-flop is implemented using a pair of CMOS cells. Each cell includes a floating gate formed by connecting the gates of an n-mos transistor and a p-mos transistor. One of the two floating gates is selectively charged by hot electron injection, thereby raising the threshold of that cell. Depending upon which of the two cells is programmed by this process, the flip-flop outputs a logic one or a logic zero during a recall mode.

摘要： A method of providing placement information during design entry is described which includes the steps of indicating an element type in an instance, identifying a port list for a specific element in the instance, and providing embedded placement information regarding the specific element in the instance. In one embodiment, the embedded placement information includes a cell location, whereas in another embodiment, the embedded placement information includes a block location. This method eliminates the need for a separate file with placement information, thereby improving user efficiency and significantly minimizing user error.
