FLEX 10K Embedded Programmable Logic Family Data Sheet
s
Flexible interconnect
–
FastTrack Interconnect continuous routing structure for fast,
predictable interconnect delays
–
Dedicated carry chain that implements arithmetic functions such
as fast adders, counters, and comparators (automatically used by
software tools and megafunctions)
–
Dedicated cascade chain that implements high-speed,
high-fan-in logic functions (automatically used by software tools
and megafunctions)
–
Tri-state emulation that implements internal tri-state buses
–
Up to six global clock signals and four global clear signals
s
Powerful I/O pins
–
Individual tri-state output enable control for each pin
–
Open-drain option on each I/O pin
–
Programmable output slew-rate control to reduce switching
noise
–
FLEX 10KA devices support hot-socketing
s
Peripheral register for fast setup and clock-to-output delay
s
Flexible package options
–
Available in a variety of packages with 84 to 600 pins (see
–
Pin-compatibility with other FLEX 10K devices in the same
package
–
FineLine BGATM packages maximize board space efficiency
