    • A single integrated circuit (IC) having one or more regions of mask-programmed device (MPD) logic for implementing permanent functions and one or more regions of field-programmable gate-array (FPGA) logic for implementing user-specified functions. The FPGA-type logic provides programming flexibility, while the MPD-type logic provides size, speed, functionality, and dollar cost advantages. In one embodiment, a hybrid IC has an array of programmable logic cells (PLCs) implemented using FPGA-type logic, an application-specific block (ASB) implemented using MPD-type logic, and a ring of pads. Fast interface switch hierarchy (FISH) cells provide the interface between the PLC array and the pads, between the PLC array and the ASB, and between the ASB and the pad ring. Muxes in the FISH cells can be programmed to cause the FISH cells to operate either (1) as programmable interface cells (PICs) that provide a direct interface between the PLC array and the pad ring or (2) as ASB-interface cells (AICs) that (a) provide interfaces between the PLC array and the ASB and (b) control interfaces between the ASB and the pad ring.

    • The bi-directional (BI-DI) buffers and supplemental logic and interconnect (SLIC) cells are designed to be programmed to operate in different modes in order to implement different kinds of logic circuits. In particular, BI-DI buffers of the present invention support at least five different operational modes. In a first mode (Mode A), the BI-DI buffer generates a logic "1" output, for any input value. In a second mode (Mode B), the BI-DI buffer generates a logic "0" output, for any input value. In a third mode (Mode C), the BI-DI buffer buffers the input signal and generates an output signal equal to the input signal. In a fourth mode (Mode D), the BI-DI buffer buffers the input signal and generates an output signal equal to the inverse of the input signal. In a fifth mode, (Mode E), the BI-DI buffer operates as a conventional tri-state driver. Two or more of the BI-DI buffers can be configured to form more complex logic circuits having two or more inputs. For example, groups of BI-DI buffers can be configured as SLIC cells that are part of the basic logic cells for an FPGA. When used in FPGAs, the BI-DI buffers and SLIC cells make implementation of different kinds of logic circuits more efficient than is the case for conventional FPGAs, including logic circuits like decoders and state machines that have large numbers of inputs. At the same time, the FPGAs retain their efficiencies for implementing logic circuits for which FPGAs have traditionally been very efficient, such as random logic and datapath logic.
    • 双向(BI-DI)缓冲器和补充逻辑和互连(SLIC)单元被设计为被编程为以不同的模式操作,以便实现不同种类的逻辑电路。 特别地,本发明的BI-DI缓冲器支持至少五种不同的操作模式。 在第一种模式(模式A)中,BI-DI缓冲区为任何输入值产生逻辑“1”输出。 在第二种模式(模式B)中,BI-DI缓冲区为任何输入值产生逻辑“0”输出。 在第三种模式(模式C)中,BI-DI缓冲器缓冲输入信号并产生等于输入信号的输出信号。 在第四模式(模式D)中,BI-DI缓冲器缓冲输入信号并产生等于输入信号的反相的输出信号。 在第五模式(模式E)中,BI-DI缓冲器作为常规三态驱动器工作。 可以将两个或更多个BI-DI缓冲器配置成形成具有两个或更多个输入的更复杂的逻辑电路。 例如,BI-DI缓冲器的组可以被配置为作为FPGA的基本逻辑单元的一部分的SLIC单元。 当在FPGA中使用时,BI-DI缓冲器和SLIC单元使得不同类型的逻辑电路的实现比传统FPGA更为有效,包括具有大量输入的解码器和状态机的逻辑电路。 同时,FPGA保留了实现FPGA传统上非常有效的逻辑电路的效率,例如随机逻辑和数据通路逻辑。
