Description
The XCR3032 CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic
Device) is the first in a family of CoolRunner
®
CPLDs from
Xilinx. These devices c o m b in e hi gh speed an d z e ro power
in a 32 macrocell CPLD. With the FZP design technique,
the XCR3032 offers true pin-to-pin speeds of 8 ns, while
simult aneo usly del iver ing power tha t is le ss th a n 35
µA at
standb y without the need f or “turbo bits” or other power
down schemes. By replacing conventional sense amplifier
method s for im pl emen ting prod uct te rms ( a tech niqu e tha t
has bee n used in PLDs since the bi polar er a) with a cascaded chain of pure CMOS gates, the dynamic power is
also su bsta ntia lly lower than any c omp et ing CP LD . Thes e
devices are th e first TotalCMOS PLDs, as the y use both a
CMOS process technology and the patented full CMOS
FZP design technique. For 5V applications, Xilinx also
offers the high speed XCR5032 CPLD that offers pin-to-pin
speeds o f 6 ns.
The Xilinx FZP CPLDs utilize the patented XPLA
(eXtended Programmable Logic Array) architecture. The
XPLA architecture combines the best features of both PLA
and PAL type structures to deliver high speed and flexible
logic allocation that results in superior ability to make
design changes with fixed pinouts. The XPLA structure in
each log ic block pr ovi des a fast 8 ns P AL p ath with five de dicated product terms per output. This PAL pa th is joined by
an additional PLA structure that deploys a pool of 32 product terms to a fully programmable OR array that can allocate 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
alloc ated from t he PLA ar ray to an output is only 2. 5 ns,
regardless of the number of PLA product terms used, which
result s in wors t ca se t
PD
's of only 10.5 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 den sity.
The XCR3032 CPLDs are supported by industry standard
CAE tools (Cadence/OrCAD, Exemplar Logic, Mentor,
Synopsys, Synario, Viewlogic, and Synplicity), using text
(ABEL, VHDL , V er i lo g) an d/ or sch ema tic ent ry. Desig n verification uses industry standard simulators for functional
and timing simulation. Development is supported on personal computer, Sparc, and HP platforms. Device fitting
uses a Xilinx developed tool, XPLA Professional (available
on the Xilinx web site).
The XCR3032 CPLD is reprogrammable using industry
standard device programmers from vendors such as Data
I/O, BP Microsystems, SMS, and others.
