We can support within one ULC from 18 Kbits to 390 Kbits DPRAM and from 46 Kgates to 780 Kgates. Typically, ULC die size is 50% smaller than the equivalent FPGA die size. DPRAM blocks are compatible with Xilinx or Altera FPGA blocks. Devices are implemented in high-performance CMOS technology with 0.35m (drawn) channel lengths, and are capable of supporting flip-flop toggle rates of 200 MHz at 3.3V and 180 MHz at 2.5V, and input to output delays as fast as 150ps at 3.3V. The architecture of the UA1 series allows for efficient conversion of many PLD architecture and FPGA device types with higher IO count. A compact RAM cell, along with the large number of available gates allows the implementation of RAM in FPGA architectures that support this feature, as well as JTAG boundary-scan and scan-path testing. Conversion to the UA1 series of ULC can provide a significant reduction in operating power when compared to the original PLD or FPGA. This is especially true when compared to many PLD and CPLD architecture devices, which typically consume 100mA or more even when not being clocked. The UA1 series has a very low standby consumption of 0.3nA/gate typically commercial temperature, which would yield a standby current of 42A on a 144,000 gates design. Operating consumption is a strict function of clock frequency, which typically results in a power reduction of 50% to 90% depending on the device being compared. Rev. A - 17-Dec-01 1 The UA1 series provides several options for output buffers, including a variety of drive levels up to 18mA. Schmitt trigger inputs are also an option. A number of techniques are used for improved noise immunity and reduced EMC emissions, including: several independent power supply busses and internal decoupling for isolation; slew rate limited outputs are also available if required. The UA1 series is designed to allow conversion of high performance 3.3V devices as well as 2.5V devices. Support of mixed supply conversions is also possible, allowing optimal trade-offs between speed and power consumption. Array Organization Architecture Table 1.

One cell can typically implement between one to four FPGA gates. Cells are located contiguously throughout the core of the device, with routing resources provided in three to four metal layers above the cells. Some cell blockage does occur due to routing, and utilization will be significantly greater with three metal routing than two. The sizes listed in the Product Outline are estimated usable amounts using three metal layers. I/O cells are provided at each pad, and may be configured as inputs, outputs, I/Os, VDD or VSS as required to match any FPGA or PLD pinout. In order to improve noise immunity within the device, separate VDD and V SS busses are provided for the internal cells and the I/O cells. I/O buffer interfacing I/O Flexibility All I/O buffers may be configured as input, output, bi-directional, oscillator or supply. A level translator could be located close to each buffer. I/O Options Inputs Each input can be programmed as TTL, CMOS, or Schmitt Trigger, with or without a pull up or pull down resistor. Fast Output Buffer Fast output buffers are able to source or sink 2 to 18mA at 3.3V according to the chosen option. 36mA achievable, using 2 pads. 2 UAE1 Rev. A - 17-Dec-01 UAE1 Slew Rate Controlled Output Buffer In this mode, the p- and n-output transistors commands are delayed, so that they are never set "ON" simultaneously, resulting in a low switching current and low noise. These buffers are dedicated to very high load drive. 2.5V Compatibility The UA1 series of ULC's is fully capable of supporting high-performance operation at 2.5V or 3.3V. The performance specifications of any given ULC design however, must be explicitly specified as 2.5V, 3.3V or both. Power Supply and Noise Protection The speed and density of the UA1 technology cause large switching current spikes, for example when: * 16 high current output buffers switch simultaneously, or * 10% of the 700 000 gates are switching within a window of 1ns. Sharp edges and high currents cause some parasitic elements in the packaging to become significant. In this frequency range, the package inductance and series resistance should be taken into account. It is known that an inductor slows down the setting time of the current and causes voltage drops on the power supply lines. These drops can affect the behavior of the circuit itself or disturb the external application (ground bounce). In order to improve the noise immunity of the UA1 core matrix, several mechanisms have been implemented inside the UA1 arrays. Two types of protection have been added: one to limit the I/O buffer switching noise and the other to protect the I/O buffers against the switching noise coming from the matrix. I/O buffers switching protection Matrix switching current protection Three features are implemented to limit the noise generated by the switching current: * The power supplies of the input and output buffers are separated. * The rise and fall times of the output buffers can be controlled by an internal regulator. * A design rule concerning the number of buffers connected on the same power supply line has been imposed. This noise disturbance is caused by a large number of gates switching simultaneously. To allow this without impacting the functionality of the circuit, three new features have been added: * Decoupling capacitors are integrated directly on the silicon to reduce the power supply drop. * A power supply network has been implemented in the matrix. This solution reduces the number of parasitic elements such as inductance and resistance and constitutes an artificial VDD and Ground plane. One mesh of the network supplies approximately 150 cells. * A low pass filter has been added between the matrix and the input to the output buffer. This limits the transmission of the noise coming from the ground or the V DD supply of the matrix to the external world via the output buffers. 3 Rev.
