Abstract:
An integrated circuit and method for using a synchronous reset pulse to reset a circuitry comprising a plurality of clock domains are disclosed. For example, the method of the present disclosure provides a reset signal that is synched to one clock, takes the synchronous signal and resets circuits in a plurality of clock domains. In order to reset a portion of the circuit which is in a particular clock domain, the reset needs to be synchronized to the clock of the particular domain.
Abstract:
Circuits and methods for initializing a memory. Each row of the memory includes data bits and associated parity bits. A write buffer contains bit values for initializing the memory, and a control circuit performs a first set of write operations that write values from the write buffer to the data bits of the memory without writing values to the associated parity bits. The write buffer performs a second set of write operations that write values from the write buffer to the parity bits associated with the data bits without writing data to the data bits.
Abstract:
In an example, a memory circuit in a programmable integrated circuit (IC) includes: a control port and a clock port; a configurable random access memory (RAM) having a control input and a clock input; input multiplexer logic coupled to the control input and the clock input; and a state machine coupled to the input multiplexer logic and configuration logic of the programmable IC, the state machine configured to: in response to being enabled by the configuration logic, control the input multiplexer logic to switch a connection of the control input from the control port to the state machine and, subsequently, switch a connection of the clock input from the clock port to a configuration clock source; and in response to being disabled by the configuration logic, control the input multiplexer logic to switch the connection of the clock input from the configuration clock source to the clock port and, subsequently, switch the connection of the control input from the state machine to the control port.
Abstract:
An embodiment of a memory module is disclosed. This memory module is a configurable hard macro. A portion of this memory module includes a data input multiplexer coupled to select between cascaded data and direct/bused data. Such portion further includes, a memory coupled to receive output from the data input multiplexer for storage therein, and a register input multiplexer coupled to select between read data from the memory and the cascaded data. This memory module further includes: a register coupled to receive output from the register input multiplexer, a latch/register mode multiplexer coupled to select between the read data from the memory and registered data from the register, and a data output multiplexer coupled to select between the cascaded data and output from the latch/register mode multiplexer to provide output data.

Abstract:
An apparatus relates generally to a clock generator is disclosed. The clock generator is coupled to receive an input clock signal and further coupled to provide an output clock signal. An address and control register is coupled to receive an address signal and the output clock signal. An access generator is coupled to receive the output clock signal. The clock generator includes: an input node coupled to receive the input clock signal; at least one pulse generator coupled to the input node to receive the input clock signal and further coupled to provide a clock control signal; and a control gate coupled to the input node to receive the input signal and further coupled to the at least one pulse generator to receive the clock control signal. The clock control signal is provided in a non-toggling state for a high-frequency mode and in a toggling state for a low-frequency mode.
