Features...
s
Industry’s first programmable logic device (PLD) incorporating
System-on-a-Programmable-ChipTM integration
–
MultiCoreTM architecture integrating look-up table (LUT) logic,
product-term logic, and embedded memory
–
Embedded system block (ESB) implementation of product-term
logic used for combinatorial-intensive functions
Preliminary
Information
–
LUT logic used for register-intensive functions
–
ESB used to implement memory functions, including first-in
first-out (FIFO) buffers, dual-port RAM, and content-
addressable memory (CAM)
s
High density
–
100,000 to 1 million typical gates (see
Table 1)–
Up to 42,240 logic elements (LEs)
–
Up to 540,672 RAM bits that can be used without reducing
available logic
–
Up to 4,224 product-term-based macrocells
Notes:
(1)
The embedded IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan circuitry contributes up to 52,130 additional gates.
