Very High Speed
– ViaLink
metal-to-metal programmable–via
antifuse technology, allows counter speeds over 150 MHz and logic
cell delays of under 2 ns.
High Usable Density
– An 8-by-12 array of 96 logic cells provides
1,000 usable ASIC gates (2,000 PLD gates) in 44-pin and 68-pin
PLCC, and 100-pin TQFP packages.
Low-Power, High-Output Drive
– Standby current typically 2 mA.
A 16-bit counter operating at 100 MHz consumes less than 50 mA.
Minimum IOL of 12 mA and IOH of 8 mA
Low-Cost, Easy-to-Use Design Tools
– Designs entered and
simulated using QuickLogic's new QuickWorks development
environment, or with third-party CAE tools including Viewlogic,
Synopsys, Mentor, Cadence and Veribest. Fast, fully automatic place
and route on PC and workstation platforms using QuickLogic
software.

The QL8x12B is a member of the pASIC 1 Family of very-high-speed
CMOS user-programmable ASIC devices. The 96 logic cell fieldprogrammable gate array (FPGA) offers 1,000 usable “gate array” gates
(equivalent to 2,000 usable PLD gates) of high-performance generalpurpose logic in 44-pin and 68-pin PLCC packages and 100-pin TQFP
packages.
Low-impedance, metal-to-metal, ViaLink interconnect technology
provides nonvolatile custom logic capable of operating above 150 MHz.
Logic cell delays under 2 ns, combined with input delays of under 1.5 ns
and output delays under 3 ns, permit high-density programmable devices
to be used with today’s fastest microprocessors and DSPs.
Designs can be entered using QuickLogic’s QuickWorks Toolkit or most
populart third-party CAE tools. QuickWorks combines Verilog/VHDL
design entry and simulation tools with device-specific place & route and
programming software. Ample on-chip routing channels allow fast, fully
automatic place and route of designs using up to 100% of the logic and
I/O cells, while maintaining fixed pin-outs.
Total of 64 I/O pins
– 56 Bidirectional Input/Output pins
– 6 Dedicated Input/High-Drive pins
– 2 Clock/Dedicated input pins with fanout-independent, low-skew
clock networks
Input + logic cell + output delays under 6 ns
Chip-to-chip operating frequencies up to 110 MHz
Internal state machine frequencies up to 150 MHz
Clock skew < 0.5 ns
Input hysteresis provides high noise immunity
Built-in scan path permits 100% factory testing of logic and I/O cells
and functional testing with Automatic Test Vector Generation
(ATVG) software after programming
Available packages are 44- and 68-pin PLCC, and a 100-pin TQFP
68-pin PLCC compatible with QL12x16B
100-pin TQFP compatible with QL12x16B and QL16x24B
0.65µ CMOS process with ViaLink programming technology
