Description
The XCR3064 CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic
Device) is the second in a family of CoolRunner
CPLDs
from Xilinx. These devices combine high speed and zero
power in a 64 macrocell CPLD. With the FZP design tech-
nique, the XCR3064 offers true pin-to-pin speeds of 10 ns,
while simultaneously delivering power that is less than 50
μ
A at standby without the need for
“
turbo-bits
”
or other
power-down schemes. By replacing conventional sense
amplifier methods for implementing product terms (a tech-
nique that has been used in PLDs since the bipolar era)
with a cascaded chain of pure CMOS gates, the dynamic
power is also substantially lower than any other CPLD.
These devices are the first TotalCMOS PLDs, as they use
both a CMOS process technology
and
the patented full
CMOS FZP design technique. For 5V applications, Xilinx
also offers the high speed XCR5064 CPLD that offers
these features in a full 5V implementation.
The Xilinx FZP CPLDs utiize the patented XPLA (eXtended
Programmable Logic Array) architecture. The XPLA archi-
tecture combines the best features of both PLA and PAL
type structures to deliver high speed and flexible logic allo-
cation that results in superior ability to make design
changes with fixed pinouts. The XPLA structure in each
logic block provides a fast 10 ns PAL path with five dedi-
cated product terms per output. This PAL path is joined by
an additional PLA structure that deploys a pool of 32 prod-
uct terms to a fully programmable OR array that can allo-
cate the PLA product terms to any output in the logic block.
This combination allows logic to be allocated efficiently
throughout the logic block and supports as many as 37
product terms on an output. The speed with which logic is
allocated from the PLA array to an output is only 2.5 ns,
regardless of the number of PLA product terms used, which
results in worst case t
PD
's of only 12.5 ns from any pin to
any other pin. In addition, logic that is common to multiple
outputs can be placed on a single PLA product term and
shared across multiple outputs via the OR array, effectively
increasing design density.
The XCR3064 CPLDs are supported by industry standard
CAE tools (Cadence/OrCAD, Exemplar Logic, Mentor,
Synopsys, Synario, Viewlogic, and Synplicity), using text
(ABEL, VHDL, Verilog) and/or schematic entry. Design ver-
ification uses industry standard simulators for functional
and timing simulation. Development is supported on per-
sonal computer, Sparc, and HP platforms. Device fitting
uses a Xilinx developed tool, XPLA Professional (available
on the Xilinx web site).
The XCR3064 CPLD is reprogrammable using industry
standard device programmers from vendors such as Data
I/O, BP Microsystems, SMS, and others.
