    Abstract: A programmable logic device including a plurality of logic elements organized in an array. Each of the logic elements includes an N-stage Look Up Table structure having 2N configuration bit inputs and a Look Up Table output. The first stage of the Look Up Table includes 2N tri-state buffers coupled to receive the 2N configuration bit inputs respectively. A decoder, configured from logic gates, is coupled to receive to one or more Look Up Table select signals and to generate a set of control signals to control the 2N tri-state buffers so that one or more of the 2N configuration bit inputs is selected by the first stage. The configuration bits are then provided to subsequent muxing stages in the Look Up Table.

    Abstract: A high-performance programmable logic array (PLA) includes an AND plane that is initialized when a reset signal is activated and that evaluates a plurality of input signals when the reset signal is inactivated; and or OR plane that receives output signals of the AND plane, that is disabled when one of the output signals is activated, and that evaluates the rest of the output signals of the AND plane to output a final result signal when the one of the output signals of the AND plane is inactivated. The PLA uses a reset signal as a driving signal, instead of a clock signal. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a PLA with both low power consumption and high operation speed.

    Abstract: An FPGA includes a programmable interconnect structure in which the interconnect resources are divided into two groups. A first subset of the interconnect resources are optimized for high speed. A second subset of the interconnect resources are optimized for low power consumption. In some embodiments, the transistors of the first and second subsets have different threshold voltages. Transistors in the first subset, being optimized for speed, have a lower threshold voltage than transistors in the second subset, which are optimized for low power consumption. The difference in threshold voltages can be accomplished by using different doping levels, wells biased to different voltage levels, or using other well-known means. In some embodiments, the first subset of the interconnect resources includes buffers coupled to a higher voltage level than the second subset. In some embodiments, the first subset includes buffers manufactured using larger transistors than those in the second subset.

    Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide output drivers that consume relatively little integrated circuit area and provide fast output switching. An exemplary embodiment provides an output driver including pull-up and pull-down devices, each device driven by a pre-driver stage. The pre-driver for the pull-down device is supplied from an auxiliary power supply, which has a higher voltage than the supply seen by the pull-up device. The pre-driver for the pull-down is biased by a voltage that tracks the higher of the auxiliary and output supplies. In some embodiments, the output driver may be part of an input/output cell. In that case, the well for the pull-up device is biased by a voltage that tracks the highest of the output supply and input received voltage, while the pull-up predriver circuit bias is the higher between the auxiliary and output supplies and the input received voltage.

    Abstract: Techniques for reducing the frequency of an output signal from a hard intellectual property (HIP) block on an integrated circuit are provided. By reducing the frequency of the output signal, circuit blocks in the integrated circuit that operate at a lower frequency than the HIP block are able to capture the output signal. A plurality of serially coupled flip-flops store values of an HIP output signal during each period of the output signal. Logic circuitry then generates a lower frequency HIP output signal in response to the values stored in the flip-flops. Also, a flip-flop can generate a heartbeat signal that is used to determine whether a signal within an HIP block is operating properly.
