ORCAORT4622 FPSC
Four-Channel x 622 Mbits/s Backplane Transceiver
Preliminary Data Sheet

Description
(continued)
Timing and simulation output files from ORCA Foundry
are also compatible with many third-party analysis
tools. Its bit stream generator is then used to generate
the configuration data which is loaded into the FPSC’s
internal configuration RAM.
When using the bit stream generator, the user selects
options that affect the functionality of the FPSC. Com-
bined with the front-end tools, ORCA Foundry pro-
duces configuration data that implements the various
logic and routing options discussed in this data sheet.
FPSC Design Kit
Development is facilitated by an FPSC design kit
which, together with ORCA Foundry and third-party
synthesis and simulation engines, provides all software
and documentation required to design and verify an
FPSC implementation. Included in the kit are the FPSC
configuration manager, HDL gate-level structural
netlists, all necessary synthesis libraries, and complete
online documentation. The kit's software couples with
ORCA Foundry, providing a seamless FPSC design
environment. More information can be obtained by vis-
iting the ORCAwebsite or contacting a local sales
office, both listed on the last page of this document.
FPGA Logic Overview
ORCASeries 3 FPGA logic is a new generation of
SRAM-based FPGA logic built on the successful
Series 2 FPGA line from Lucent Technologies Micro-
electronics Group, with enhancements and innovations
geared toward today’s high-speed designs on a single
chip. Designed from the start to be synthesis friendly
and to reduce place and route times while maintaining
the complete routability of the ORCASeries 2 devices,
the Series 3 more than doubles the logic available in
each logic block and incorporates system-level features
that can further reduce logic requirements and
increase system speed. ORCA Series 3 devices con-
tain many new patented enhancements and are offered
in a variety of packages, speed grades, and tempera-
ture ranges.
ORCA Series 3 FPGA logic consists of three basic ele-
ments: programmable logic cells (PLCs), programma-
ble input/output cells (PICs), and system-level features.
An array of PLCs is surrounded by PICs. Each PLC
contains a programmable function unit (PFU), a sup-
plemental logic and interconnect cell (SLIC), local rout-
ing resources, and configuration RAM. Most of the
FPGA logic is performed in the PFU, but decoders,
PAL-like functions, and 3-state buffering can be per-
formed in the SLIC. The PICs provide device inputs
and outputs and can be used to register signals and to
perform input demultiplexing, output multiplexing, and
other functions on two output signals. Some of the sys-
tem-level functions include the new microprocessor
interface (
MPI
) and the programmable clock manager
(
PCM
).
PLC Logic
Each PFU within a PLC contains eight 4-input (16-bit)
look-up tables (LUTs), eight latches/flip-flops (FFs),
and one additional flip-flop that may be used indepen-
dently or with arithmetic functions.
The PFU is organized in a twin-quad fashion: two sets
of four LUTs and FFs that can be controlled indepen-
dently. LUTs may also be combined for use in arith-
metic functions using fast-carry chain logic in either
4-bit or 8-bit modes. The carry-out of either mode may
be registered in the ninth FF for pipelining. Each PFU
may also be configured as a synchronous 32 x 4
single- or dual-port RAM or ROM. The FFs (or latches)
may obtain input from LUT outputs or directly from
invertible PFU inputs, or they can be tied high or tied
low. The FFs also have programmable clock polarity,
clock enables, and local set/reset.
The SLIC is connected to PLC routing resources and to
the outputs of the PFU. It contains 3-state, bidirectional
buffers and logic to perform up to a 10-bit AND function
for decoding, or an AND-OR with optional INVERT
(AOI) to perform PAL-like functions. The 3-state drivers
in the SLIC and their direct connections to the PFU out-
puts make fast, true 3-state buses possible within the
FPGA logic, reducing required routing and allowing for
real-world system performance.
