What is Programmable Logic?

 These devices mainly contain :

1. Large amounts of logic gates.


2. Large amounts of FlipFlops.
3. Programmable interconnects.

 In these devices Configuration Memory


defines the function that the Logic will
perform.
Why go for PLD’s ?

• Flexibility.
• In system programmability.
• Less project development time.
• Best prototyping solution.
• Cost effective solutions.
• Involves less risk.
• Design security.
• Consumes less board area.
• Reconfigurable computing.
• Best suits hardware verification of design.

Field Programmable Arrays
 Dominant digital design implementation
 Ability to re-configure FPGA and implement any digital
logic function
 Partial re-configuration allows a portion of the FPGA to be
continuously running while another portion is being re-
configured
 FPGAs also contain analog circuitry features including
a programmable slew rate and drive strength,
differential comparators on I/O designed to be
connected to differential signaling channels.
 Mixed-signal FPGAs contains ADCs and DACs with
analog signal conditional blocks allowing them to
operate as a system-on-chip (SoC)

FPGA Operation

User writes configuration memory which


defines the function of the system. This
includes: the connectivity between the
CLBs and the I/O cells, the logic to be
implemented onto the CLBs, and the I/O
blocks.

By changing the data in the configuration


memory, the function of the system
changes as well. This change in data can
be implemented at anytime during FPGA
operation (run-time configuration).

functions truth table
 Some FPGAs can use LUTs to implement small Random Access
Memory (RAM)

iterative-OR chain)

 Configurable Flip Flops (FFs)/ Latches( Programmable clock edges,
set/reset, and clock enable)
 These memory elements usually can be configured as shift-
registers

A CLB can contain


several slices, which
make up a single CLB.
Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs
(right) have two slices:
SLICEL (logic) and
SLICEM (memory).

In addition to the basic


CLB architecture, the
Virtex-5 contains wide-
function MUXs which can
implement:
- 4:1 MUX using 1 LUT
- 8:1 MUX using 2 LUTs
- 16:1 MUX using 4 LUTs

Interconnection Network
 Horizontal and vertical mesh of wire segments interconnected by
programmable switches called programmable interconnect points (PIPs).
 These PIPs are implemented using a transmission gate controlled by a
memory bits from the configuration memory.

 Several types of PIPs are used


 Cross-point = connects vertical or horizontal wire segments allowing turns
 Breakpoint = connects or isolates 2 wire segments
 Decoded MUX = group of 2^n cross-points connected to a single output configure by n
configuration bits
 Non-decoded MUX = n wire segments each with a configuration bit (n segments)
 Compound cross-point = 6 Break-point PIPS (can isolate two isolated signal nets)
