    摘要: An apparatus and method of reducing power consumption across a switch, such as an unprogrammed antifuse, is provided. The invention applies to antifuses, other switches such as transistor based switches, (e.g., FLASH, EEPROM and/or SRAM) and other devices exhibiting a leakage current, especially during a sleep or stand-by mode. During a sleep mode, such switches or other devices may be uncoupled from signals driving the switches, then terminals of each switch may be coupled to a common potential or allowed to float to a common potential thereby eliminating or reducing leakage currents through the switches.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a programmable logic device, a dedicated device, and an interface circuit between the two. The interface circuit can be easily modified to accommodate the different interface I/O demands of various dedicated devices that may be embedded into the integrated circuit. In one embodiment, the interface circuit may be implemented using a plurality of mask programmable uni-directional interface buffer circuits. The direction of any desired number of the interface buffer circuits can be reversed based on the needs of a desired dedicated device by re-routing the conductors in the interface buffer circuits in a single metal layer of the integrated circuit. In another embodiment, the interface circuit may be implemented using a hardware configurable bi-directional interface buffer circuit.

    摘要: In accordance with the invention, a serializer/deserializer core of a field programmable gate array includes a channel clock and a data channel. The data channel can serialize and deserialize data in two modes. In the first mode, an embedded clock signal is recovered from the data. In the second mode, a clock signal is provided by the channel clock. A selection signal determines in which mode each of the data channels in the serializer/deserializer core operates. An stair-step clock generator generates a series of rising edge signals used to serialize and deserialize data. The number of bits serialized and deserialized is determined by the control signals to a set of multiplexers in the stair-step clock generator which determine how many registers in the stair-step clock generator are activated.

    摘要: A programmable circuit, such as a field programmable gate array, and a dedicated device, such as an ASIC type device, are coupled together with an antifuse based interface on a single integrated circuit. A configurable non-volatile memory that communicates with the dedicated device is also located on the integrated circuit. The platform for the programmable circuit is one half of an existing programmable circuit, which eliminates the need to engineer the programmable circuit. The programmable circuit includes a clock network that receives clock signals from clock terminals as well as from a clock network in the dedicated device. The interface between the dedicated device and programmable circuit includes a number of conductors with buffers with testing circuitry. The testing circuitry includes a PMOS test transistor and a NMOS test transistor which permits testing of the buffers without programming the antifuses coupled to the conductors. The input/output terminals around the periphery and in the interface between the programmable circuit and dedicated device are tested using JTAG registers. The path of the test signal through the JTAG registers is selectable to pass around the periphery of both the programmable and dedicated devices or through the interface and around the periphery of only one of the programmable and dedicated devices.
