This option is supported with a 256-pin FineLine BGA package. By using SameFrameTM pin migration, all FineLine BGA packages are pin-compatible. For example, a board can be designed to support 256-pin and 484-pin FineLine BGA packages. Table 3.

LUT-based logic provides optimized performance and efficiency for data-path, register intensive, mathematical, or digital signal processing (DSP) designs, while EABs implement RAM, ROM, dual-port RAM, or first-in first-out (FIFO) functions. These elements make ACEX 1K suitable for complex logic functions and memory functions such as digital signal processing, wide data-path manipulation, data transformation and microcontrollers, as required in high-performance communications applications. Based on reconfigurable CMOS SRAM elements, the ACEX 1K architecture incorporates all features necessary to implement common gate array megafunctions, along with a high pin count to enable an effective interface with system components. The advanced process and the low voltage requirement of the 2.5-V core allow ACEX 1K devices to meet the requirements of low-cost, high-volume applications ranging from DSL modems to low-cost switches. The ability to reconfigure ACEX 1K devices enables complete testing prior to shipment and allows the designer to focus on simulation and design verification. ACEX 1K device reconfigurability eliminates inventory management for gate array designs and test vector generation for fault coverage. Table 4 shows ACEX 1K device performance for some common designs. All performance results were obtained with Synopsys DesignWare or LPM functions. Special design techniques are not required to implement the applications; the designer simply infers or instantiates a function in a Verilog HDL, VHDL, Altera Hardware Description Language (AHDL), or schematic design file.

Altera offers EPC16, EPC2, EPC1, and EPC1441 configuration devices, which configure ACEX 1K devices via a serial data stream. Configuration data can also be downloaded from system RAM or via the Altera MasterBlasterTM, ByteBlasterMVTM, or BitBlasterTM download cables. After an ACEX 1K device has been configured, it can be reconfigured incircuit by resetting the device and loading new data. Because reconfiguration requires less than 40 ms, real-time changes can be made during system operation. ACEX 1K devices contain an interface that permits microprocessors to configure ACEX 1K devices serially or in parallel, and synchronously or asynchronously. The interface also enables microprocessors to treat an ACEX 1K device as memory and configure it by writing to a virtual memory location, simplifying device reconfiguration. Altera Corporation 5 13 Development Tools Each ACEX 1K device contains an embedded array and a logic array. The embedded array is used to implement a variety of memory functions or complex logic functions, such as digital signal processing (DSP), wide data-path manipulation, microcontroller applications, and datatransformation functions. The logic array performs the same function as the sea-of-gates in the gate array and is used to implement general logic such as counters, adders, state machines, and multiplexers. The combination of embedded and logic arrays provides the high performance and high density of embedded gate arrays, enabling designers to implement an entire system on a single device. ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet f For more information on the configuration of ACEX 1K devices, see the following documents: Configuration Devices for ACEX, APEX, FLEX, & Mercury Devices Data Sheet MasterBlaster Serial/USB Communications Cable Data Sheet ByteBlasterMV Parallel Port Download Cable Data Sheet BitBlaster Serial Download Cable Data Sheet ACEX 1K devices are supported by Altera development systems, which are integrated packages that offer schematic, text (including AHDL), and waveform design entry, compilation and logic synthesis, full simulation and worst-case timing analysis, and device configuration. The software provides EDIF 2 0 0 and 3 0 0, LPM, VHDL, Verilog HDL, and other interfaces for additional design entry and simulation support from other industry-standard PC- and UNIX workstation-based EDA tools. The Altera software works easily with common gate array EDA tools for synthesis and simulation. For example, the Altera software can generate Verilog HDL files for simulation with tools such as Cadence Verilog-XL. Additionally, the Altera software contains EDA libraries that use devicespecific features such as carry chains, which are used for fast counter and arithmetic functions. For instance, the Synopsys Design Compiler library supplied with the Altera development system includes DesignWare functions that are optimized for the ACEX 1K device architecture. The Altera development systems run on Windows-based PCs and Sun SPARCstation, and HP 9000 Series 700/800 workstations. f Functional Description For more information, see the MAX+PLUS II Programmable Logic Development System & Software Data Sheet and the Quartus Programmable Logic Development System & Software Data Sheet. Each ACEX 1K device contains an enhanced embedded array that implements memory and specialized logic functions, and a logic array that implements general logic. The embedded array consists of a series of EABs. When implementing memory functions, each EAB provides 4,096 bits, which can be used to create RAM, ROM, dual-port RAM, or first-in first-out (FIFO) functions. When implementing logic, each EAB can contribute 100 to 600 gates towards complex logic functions such as multipliers, microcontrollers, state machines, and DSP functions. EABs can be used independently, or multiple EABs can be combined to implement larger functions. 6 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet The logic array consists of logic array blocks (LABs). Each LAB contains eight LEs and a local interconnect. An LE consists of a 4-input LUT, a programmable flipflop, and dedicated signal paths for carry and cascade functions. The eight LEs can be used to create medium-sized blocks of logic--such as 8-bit counters, address decoders, or state machines--or combined across LABs to create larger logic blocks. Each LAB represents about 96 usable logic gates. Signal interconnections within ACEX 1K devices (as well as to and from device pins) are provided by the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure, which is a series of fast, continuous row and column channels that run the entire length and width of the device. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the ACEX 1K device architecture. Each group of LEs is combined into an LAB; groups of LABs are arranged into rows and columns. Each row also contains a single EAB. The LABs and EABs are interconnected by the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure. IOEs are located at the end of each row and column of the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure. Altera Corporation 7 13 Development Tools Each I/O pin is fed by an I/O element (IOE) located at the end of each row and column of the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure. Each IOE contains a bidirectional I/O buffer and a flipflop that can be used as either an output or input register to feed input, output, or bidirectional signals. When used with a dedicated clock pin, these registers provide exceptional performance. As inputs, they provide setup times as low as 1.1 ns and hold times of 0 ns. As outputs, these registers provide clock-to-output times as low as 2.5 ns. IOEs provide a variety of features, such as JTAG BST support, slew-rate control, tri-state buffers, and open-drain outputs. ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 1.

These signals use dedicated routing channels that provide shorter delays and lower skews than the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure. Four of the dedicated inputs drive four global signals. These four global signals can also be driven by internal logic, providing an ideal solution for a clock divider or an internally generated asynchronous clear signal that clears many registers in the device. 8 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Embedded Array Block The EAB is a flexible block of RAM, with registers on the input and output ports, that is used to implement common gate array megafunctions. Because it is large and flexible, the EAB is suitable for functions such as multipliers, vector scalars, and error correction circuits. These functions can be combined in applications such as digital filters and microcontrollers. Logic functions are implemented by programming the EAB with a readonly pattern during configuration, thereby creating a large LUT. With LUTs, combinatorial functions are implemented by looking up the results rather than by computing them. This implementation of combinatorial functions can be faster than using algorithms implemented in general logic, a performance advantage that is further enhanced by the fast access times of EABs. The large capacity of EABs enables designers to implement complex functions in a single logic level without the routing delays associated with linked LEs or field-programmable gate array (FPGA) RAM blocks. For example, a single EAB can implement any function with 8 inputs and 16 outputs. Parameterized functions, such as LPM functions, can take advantage of the EAB automatically. The EAB can also be used for bidirectional, dual-port memory applications where two ports read or write simultaneously. To implement this type of dual-port memory, two EABs are used to support two simultaneous reads or writes. Alternatively, one clock and clock enable can be used to control the input registers of the EAB, while a different clock and clock enable control the output registers (see Figure 2). Altera Corporation 9 Development Tools The ACEX 1K enhanced EAB supports dual-port RAM. The dual-port structure is ideal for FIFO buffers with one or two clocks. The ACEX 1K EAB can also support up to 16-bit-wide RAM blocks. The ACEX 1K EAB can act in dual-port or single-port mode. When in dual-port mode, separate clocks may be used for EAB read and write sections, allowing the EAB to be written and read at different rates. It also has separate synchronous clock enable signals for the EAB read and write sections, which allow independent control of these sections. 13 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 2.

EP1K10, EP1K30, and EP1K50 devices have 88 EAB local interconnect channels; EP1K100 devices have 104 EAB local interconnect channels. The EAB can use Altera megafunctions to implement dual-port RAM applications where both ports can read or write, as shown in Figure 3. The ACEX 1K EAB can also be used in a single-port mode (see Figure 4). 10 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 3.

Altera Corporation 11 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet EABs can be used to implement synchronous RAM, which is easier to use than asynchronous RAM. A circuit using asynchronous RAM must generate the RAM write enable signal, while ensuring that its data and address signals meet setup and hold time specifications relative to the write enable signal. In contrast, the EAB's synchronous RAM generates its own write enable signal and is self-timed with respect to the input or write clock. A circuit using the EAB's self-timed RAM must only meet the setup and hold time specifications of the global clock. When used as RAM, each EAB can be configured in any of the following sizes: 256 x 16; 512 x 8; 1,024 x 4; or 2,048 x 2. Figure 5 shows the ACEX 1K EAB memory configurations. Figure 5. ACEX 1K EAB Memory Configurations 256 x 16 512 x 8 1,024 x 4 2,048 x 2 Larger blocks of RAM are created by combining multiple EABs. For example, two 256 x 16 RAM blocks can be combined to form a 256 x 32 block, and two 512 x 8 RAM blocks can be combined to form a 512 x 16 block. Figure 6 shows examples of multiple EAB combination. Figure 6. Examples of Combining ACEX 1K EABs 256 x 32 512 x 16 256 x 16 512 x 8 256 x 16 512 x 8 12 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet If necessary, all EABs in a device can be cascaded to form a single RAM block. EABs can be cascaded to form RAM blocks of up to 2,048 words without impacting timing. Altera software automatically combines EABs to meet a designer's RAM specifications. EABs provide flexible options for driving and controlling clock signals. Different clocks and clock enables can be used for reading and writing to the EAB. Registers can be independently inserted on the data input, EAB output, write address, write enable signals, read address, and read enable signals. The global signals and the EAB local interconnect can drive write-enable, read-enable, and clock-enable signals. The global signals, dedicated clock pins, and EAB local interconnect can drive the EAB clock signals. Because the LEs drive the EAB local interconnect, the LEs can control write-enable, read-enable, clear, clock, and clock-enable signals. An EAB is fed by a row interconnect and can drive out to row and column interconnects. Each EAB output can drive up to two row channels and up to two column channels; the unused row channel can be driven by other LEs. This feature increases the routing resources available for EAB outputs (see Figures 2 and 4). The column interconnect, which is adjacent to the EAB, has twice as many channels as other columns in the device. An LAB consists of eight LEs, their associated carry and cascade chains, LAB control signals, and the LAB local interconnect. The LAB provides the coarse-grained structure to the ACEX 1K architecture, facilitating efficient routing with optimum device utilization and high performance. Figure 7 shows the ACEX 1K LAB.

EP1K10, EP1K30, and EP1K50 devices have 30 LAB local interconnect channels; EP1K100 devices have 34. 14 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Each LAB provides four control signals with programmable inversion that can be used in all eight LEs. Two of these signals can be used as clocks, the other two can be used for clear/preset control. The LAB clocks can be driven by the dedicated clock input pins, global signals, I/O signals, or internal signals via the LAB local interconnect. The LAB preset and clear control signals can be driven by the global signals, I/O signals, or internal signals via the LAB local interconnect. The global control signals are typically used for global clock, clear, or preset signals because they provide asynchronous control with very low skew across the device. If logic is required on a control signal, it can be generated in one or more LEs in any LAB and driven into the local interconnect of the target LAB. In addition, the global control signals can be generated from LE outputs. Logic Element Altera Corporation 15 13 Development Tools The LE, the smallest unit of logic in the ACEX 1K architecture, has a compact size that provides efficient logic utilization. Each LE contains a 4-input LUT, which is a function generator that can quickly compute any function of four variables. In addition, each LE contains a programmable flipflop with a synchronous clock enable, a carry chain, and a cascade chain. Each LE drives both the local and the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure. Figure 8 shows the ACEX 1K LE. ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 8. ACEX 1K Logic Element data1 data2 data3 data4 Look-Up Table (LUT) Carry-In Cascade-In Carry Chain Cascade Chain Register Bypass D PRN Q Programmable Register To FastTrack Interconnect ENA CLRN To LAB Local Interconnect labctrl1 labctrl2 Clear/ Preset Logic Chip-Wide Reset Clock Select labctrl3 labctrl4 Carry-Out Cascade-Out The programmable flipflop in the LE can be configured for D, T, JK, or SR operation. The clock, clear, and preset control signals on the flipflop can be driven by global signals, general-purpose I/O pins, or any internal logic. For combinatorial functions, the flipflop is bypassed and the LUT's output drives the LE's output. The LE has two outputs that drive the interconnect: one drives the local interconnect, and the other drives either the row or column FastTrack Interconnect routing structure. The two outputs can be controlled independently. For example, the LUT can drive one output while the register drives the other output. This feature, called register packing, can improve LE utilization because the register and the LUT can be used for unrelated functions. The ACEX 1K architecture provides two types of dedicated high-speed data paths that connect adjacent LEs without using local interconnect paths: carry chains and cascade chains. The carry chain supports highspeed counters and adders, and the cascade chain implements wide-input functions with minimum delay. Carry and cascade chains connect all LEs in a LAB and all LABs in the same row. Intensive use of carry and cascade chains can reduce routing flexibility. Therefore, the use of these chains should be limited to speed-critical portions of a design. 16 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Carry Chain The carry chain provides a very fast (as low as 0.2 ns) carry-forward function between LEs. The carry-in signal from a lower-order bit drives forward into the higher-order bit via the carry chain, and feeds into both the LUT and the next portion of the carry chain. This feature allows the ACEX 1K architecture to efficiently implement high-speed counters, adders, and comparators of arbitrary width. Carry chain logic can be created automatically by the compiler during design processing, or manually by the designer during design entry. Parameterized functions, such as LPM and DesignWare functions, automatically take advantage of carry chains. Figure 9 shows how an n-bit full adder can be implemented in n + 1 LEs with the carry chain. One portion of the LUT generates the sum of two bits using the input signals and the carry-in signal; the sum is routed to the output of the LE. The register can be bypassed for simple adders or used for an accumulator function. Another portion of the LUT and the carry chain logic generates the carry-out signal, which is routed directly to the carry-in signal of the next-higher-order bit. The final carry-out signal is routed to an LE, where it can be used as a general-purpose signal. Altera Corporation 17 13 Development Tools Carry chains longer than eight LEs are automatically implemented by linking LABs together. For enhanced fitting, a long carry chain skips alternate LABs in a row. A carry chain longer than one LAB skips either from even-numbered LAB to even-numbered LAB, or from oddnumbered LAB to odd-numbered LAB. For example, the last LE of the first LAB in a row carries to the first LE of the third LAB in the row. The carry chain does not cross the EAB at the middle of the row. For instance, in the EP1K50 device, the carry chain stops at the eighteenth LAB, and a new carry chain begins at the nineteenth LAB. ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 9.

Adjacent LUTs can be used to compute portions of the function in parallel; the cascade chain serially connects the intermediate values. The cascade chain can use a logical AND or logical OR (via De Morgan's inversion) to connect the outputs of adjacent LEs. With a delay as low as 0.6 ns per LE, each additional LE provides four more inputs to the effective width of a function. Cascade chain logic can be created automatically by the compiler during design processing, or manually by the designer during design entry. Cascade chains longer than eight bits are implemented automatically by linking several LABs together. For easier routing, a long cascade chain skips every other LAB in a row. A cascade chain longer than one LAB skips either from even-numbered LAB to even-numbered LAB, or from odd-numbered LAB to odd-numbered LAB (e.g., the last LE of the first LAB in a row cascades to the first LE of the third LAB). The cascade chain does not cross the center of the row (e.g., in the EP1K50 device, the cascade chain stops at the eighteenth LAB, and a new one begins at the nineteenth LAB). This break is due to the EAB's placement in the middle of the row. 13 Figure 10 shows how the cascade function can connect adjacent LEs to form functions with a wide fan-in. These examples show functions of 4n variables implemented with n LEs. The LE delay is 1.3 ns; the cascade chain delay is 0.6 ns. With the cascade chain, decoding a 16-bit address requires 3.1 ns.

In each mode, seven available inputs to the LE--the four data inputs from the LAB local interconnect, the feedback from the programmable register, and the carry-in and cascade-in from the previous LE--are directed to different destinations to implement the desired logic function. Three inputs to the LE provide clock, clear, and preset control for the register. The Altera software, in conjunction with parameterized functions such as LPM and DesignWare functions, automatically chooses the appropriate mode for common functions such as counters, adders, and multipliers. If required, the designer can also create special-purpose functions that use a specific LE operating mode for optimal performance. The architecture provides a synchronous clock enable to the register in all four modes. The Altera software can set DATA1 to enable the register synchronously, providing easy implementation of fully synchronous designs. Figure 11 shows the ACEX 1K LE operating modes. 20 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 11.

In normal mode, four data inputs from the LAB local interconnect and the carry-in are inputs to a 4-input LUT. The compiler automatically selects the carryin or the DATA3 signal as one of the inputs to the LUT. The LUT output can be combined with the cascade-in signal to form a cascade chain through the cascade-out signal. Either the register or the LUT can be used to drive both the local interconnect and the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure at the same time. The LUT and the register in the LE can be used independently (register packing). To support register packing, the LE has two outputs; one drives the local interconnect, and the other drives the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure. The DATA4 signal can drive the register directly, allowing the LUT to compute a function that is independent of the registered signal; a 3-input function can be computed in the LUT, and a fourth independent signal can be registered. Alternatively, a 4-input function can be generated, and one of the inputs to this function can be used to drive the register. The register in a packed LE can still use the clock enable, clear, and preset signals in the LE. In a packed LE, the register can drive the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure while the LUT drives the local interconnect, or vice versa. Arithmetic Mode The arithmetic mode offers two 3-input LUTs that are ideal for implementing adders, accumulators, and comparators. One LUT computes a 3-input function; the other generates a carry output. As shown in Figure 11, the first LUT uses the carry-in signal and two data inputs from the LAB local interconnect to generate a combinatorial or registered output. For example, in an adder, this output is the sum of three signals: a, b, and carry-in. The second LUT uses the same three signals to generate a carry-out signal, thereby creating a carry chain. The arithmetic mode also supports simultaneous use of the cascade chain. Up/Down Counter Mode The up/down counter mode offers counter enable, clock enable, synchronous up/down control, and data loading options. These control signals are generated by the data inputs from the LAB local interconnect, the carry-in signal, and output feedback from the programmable register. Two 3-input LUTs are used; one generates the counter data, and the other generates the fast carry bit. A 2-to-1 multiplexer provides synchronous loading. Data can also be loaded asynchronously with the clear and preset register control signals without using the LUT resources. 22 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Clearable Counter Mode The clearable counter mode is similar to the up/down counter mode, but it supports a synchronous clear instead of the up/down control. The clear function is substituted for the cascade-in signal in the up/down counter mode. Two 3-input LUTs are used; one generates the counter data, and the other generates the fast carry bit. Synchronous loading is provided by a 2-to-1 multiplexer. The output of this multiplexer is AND ed with a synchronous clear signal. Internal Tri-State Emulation Internal tri-state emulation provides internal tri-states without the limitations of a physical tri-state bus. In a physical tri-state bus, the tri-state buffers' output enable (OE) signals select which signal drives the bus. However, if multiple OE signals are active, contending signals can be driven onto the bus. Conversely, if no OE signals are active, the bus will float. Internal tri-state emulation resolves contending tri-state buffers to a low value and floating buses to a high value, thereby eliminating these problems. The Altera software automatically implements tri-state bus functionality with a multiplexer. Logic for the programmable register's clear and preset functions is controlled by the DATA3, LABCTRL1, and LABCTRL2 inputs to the LE. The clear and preset control structure of the LE asynchronously loads signals into a register. Either LABCTRL1 or LABCTRL2 can control the asynchronous clear. Alternatively, the register can be set up so that LABCTRL1 implements an asynchronous load. The data to be loaded is driven to DATA3; when LABCTRL1 is asserted, DATA3 is loaded into the register. During compilation, the compiler automatically selects the best control signal implementation. Because the clear and preset functions are activelow, the Compiler automatically assigns a logic high to an unused clear or preset. The clear and preset logic is implemented in one of the following six modes chosen during design entry: Altera Corporation Asynchronous clear Asynchronous preset Asynchronous clear and preset Asynchronous load with clear Asynchronous load with preset Asynchronous load without clear or preset 23 Development Tools Clear & Preset Logic Control 13 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet In addition to the six clear and preset modes, ACEX 1K devices provide a chip-wide reset pin that can reset all registers in the device. Use of this feature is set during design entry. In any of the clear and preset modes, the chip-wide reset overrides all other signals. Registers with asynchronous presets may be preset when the chip-wide reset is asserted. Inversion can be used to implement the asynchronous preset. Figure 12 shows examples of how to setup the preset and clear inputs for the desired functionality. Figure 12.

In this mode, the preset signal is tied to VCC to deactivate it. Asynchronous Preset An asynchronous preset is implemented as an asynchronous load, or with an asynchronous clear. If DATA3 is tied to VCC, asserting LABCTRL1 asynchronously loads a one into the register. Alternatively, the Altera software can provide preset control by using the clear and inverting the register's input and output. Inversion control is available for the inputs to both LEs and IOEs. Therefore, if a register is preset by only one of the two LABCTRL signals, the DATA3 input is not needed and can be used for one of the LE operating modes. Asynchronous Preset & Clear When implementing asynchronous clear and preset, LABCTRL1 controls the preset, and LABCTRL2 controls the clear. DATA3 is tied to VCC, so that asserting LABCTRL1 asynchronously loads a one into the register, effectively presetting the register. Asserting LABCTRL2 clears the register. When implementing an asynchronous load in conjunction with the clear, LABCTRL1 implements the asynchronous load of DATA3 by controlling the register preset and clear. LABCTRL2 implements the clear by controlling the register clear; LABCTRL2 does not have to feed the preset circuits. Asynchronous Load with Preset When implementing an asynchronous load in conjunction with preset, the Altera software provides preset control by using the clear and inverting the input and output of the register. Asserting LABCTRL2 presets the register, while asserting LABCTRL1 loads the register. The Altera software inverts the signal that drives DATA3 to account for the inversion of the register's output. Asynchronous Load without Preset or Clear When implementing an asynchronous load without preset or clear, LABCTRL1 implements the asynchronous load of DATA3 by controlling the register preset and clear. Altera Corporation 25 Development Tools Asynchronous Load with Clear 13 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet FastTrack Interconnect Routing Structure In the ACEX 1K architecture, connections between LEs, EABs, and device I/O pins are provided by the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure, which is a series of continuous horizontal and vertical routing channels that traverse the device. This global routing structure provides predictable performance, even in complex designs. In contrast, the segmented routing in FPGAs requires switch matrices to connect a variable number of routing paths, increasing the delays between logic resources and reducing performance. The FastTrack Interconnect routing structure consists of row and column interconnect channels that span the entire device. Each row of LABs is served by a dedicated row interconnect. The row interconnect can drive I/O pins and feed other LABs in the row. The column interconnect routes signals between rows and can drive I/O pins. Row channels drive into the LAB or EAB local interconnect. The row signal is buffered at every LAB or EAB to reduce the effect of fan-out on delay. A row channel can be driven by an LE or by one of three column channels. These four signals feed dual 4-to-1 multiplexers that connect to two specific row channels. These multiplexers, which are connected to each LE, allow column channels to drive row channels even when all eight LEs in a LAB drive the row interconnect. Each column of LABs or EABs is served by a dedicated column interconnect. The column interconnect that serves the EABs has twice as many channels as other column interconnects. The column interconnect can then drive I/O pins or another row's interconnect to route the signals to other LABs or EABs in the device. A signal from the column interconnect, which can be either the output of a LE or an input from an I/O pin, must be routed to the row interconnect before it can enter a LAB or EAB. Each row channel that is driven by an IOE or EAB can drive one specific column channel. Access to row and column channels can be switched between LEs in adjacent pairs of LABs. For example, a LE in one LAB can drive the row and column channels normally driven by a particular LE in the adjacent LAB in the same row, and vice versa. This flexibility enables routing resources to be used more efficiently. Figure 13 shows the ACEX 1K LAB. 26 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 13. ACEX 1K LAB Connections to Row & Column Interconnect Column Channels To Other Columns Row Channels At each intersection, six row channels can drive column channels. 13 From Adjacent LAB To Adjacent LAB LE 1 Each LE can switch interconnect access with an LE in the adjacent LAB. LE 2 LE 8 To LAB Local Interconnect Altera Corporation To Other Rows 27 Development Tools Each LE can drive two row channels. ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet For improved routing, the row interconnect consists of a combination of full-length and half-length channels. The full-length channels connect to all LABs in a row; the half-length channels connect to the LABs in half of the row. The EAB can be driven by the half-length channels in the left half of the row and by the full-length channels. The EAB drives out to the fulllength channels. In addition to providing a predictable, row-wide interconnect, this architecture provides increased routing resources. Two neighboring LABs can be connected using a half-row channel, thereby saving the other half of the channel for the other half of the row. Table 6 summarizes the FastTrack Interconnect routing structure resources available in each ACEX 1K device. Table 6. ACEX 1K FastTrack Interconnect Resources Device Rows Channels per Row Columns Channels per Column EP1K10 3 144 24 24 EP1K30 6 216 36 24 EP1K50 10 216 36 24 EP1K100 12 312 52 24 In addition to general-purpose I/O pins, ACEX 1K devices have six dedicated input pins that provide low-skew signal distribution across the device. These six inputs can be used for global clock, clear, preset, and peripheral output-enable and clock-enable control signals. These signals are available as control signals for all LABs and IOEs in the device. The dedicated inputs can also be used as general-purpose data inputs because they can feed the local interconnect of each LAB in the device. Figure 14 shows the interconnection of adjacent LABs and EABs, with row, column, and local interconnects, as well as the associated cascade and carry chains. Each LAB is labeled according to its location: a letter represents the row and a number represents the column. For example, LAB B3 is in row B, column 3. 28 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 14. ACEX 1K Interconnect Resources See Figure 17 for details.

In some cases, using an LE register for an input register will result in a faster setup time than using an IOE register. IOEs can be used as input, output, or bidirectional pins. The compiler uses the programmable inversion option to invert signals from the row and column interconnect automatically where appropriate. For bidirectional registered I/O implementation, the output register should be in the IOE and the data input and output enable registers should be LE registers placed adjacent to the bidirectional pin. Figure 15 shows the bidirectional I/O registers. Altera Corporation 29 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 15.

Depending on the placement of the IOE relative to what it is driving, the designer may choose to turn on the programmable delay to ensure a zero hold time or turn it off to minimize setup time. This feature is used to reduce setup time for complex pin-toregister paths (e.g., PCI designs). Each IOE selects the clock, clear, clock enable, and output enable controls from a network of I/O control signals called the peripheral control bus. The peripheral control bus uses high-speed drivers to minimize signal skew across devices and provides up to 12 peripheral control signals that can be allocated as follows: Up to eight output enable signals Up to six clock enable signals Up to two clock signals Up to two clear signals When a dedicated clock pin drives IOE registers, it can be inverted for all IOEs in the device. All IOEs must use the same sense of the clock. For example, if any IOE uses the inverted clock, all IOEs must use the inverted clock, and no IOE can use the non-inverted clock. However, LEs can still use the true or complement of the clock on an LAB-by-LAB basis. The incoming signal may be inverted at the dedicated clock pin and will drive all IOEs. For the true and complement of a clock to be used to drive IOEs, drive it into both global clock pins. One global clock pin will supply the true, and the other will supply the complement. When the true and complement of a dedicated input drives IOE clocks, two signals on the peripheral control bus are consumed, one for each sense of the clock. Altera Corporation 31 13 Development Tools If more than six clock-enable or eight output-enable signals are required, each IOE on the device can be controlled by clock enable and output enable signals driven by specific LEs. In addition to the two clock signals available on the peripheral control bus, each IOE can use one of two dedicated clock pins. Each peripheral control signal can be driven by any of the dedicated input pins or the first LE of each LAB in a particular row. In addition, a LE in a different row can drive a column interconnect, which causes a row interconnect to drive the peripheral control signal. The chipwide reset signal resets all IOE registers, overriding any other control signals. ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet When dedicated inputs drive non-inverted and inverted peripheral clears, clock enables, and output enables, two signals on the peripheral control bus will be used. Table 7 lists the sources for each peripheral control signal and shows how the output enable, clock enable, clock, and clear signals share 12 peripheral control signals. Table 7 also shows the rows that can drive global signals. Table 7. Peripheral Bus Sources for ACEX Devices Peripheral Control Signal EP1K10 EP1K30 EP1K50 EP1K100 OE0 Row A Row A Row A Row A OE1 Row A Row B Row B Row C OE2 Row B Row C Row D Row E OE3 Row B Row D Row F Row L OE4 Row C Row E Row H Row I OE5 Row C Row F Row J Row K CLKENA0/CLK0/GLOBAL0 Row A Row A Row A Row F CLKENA1/OE6/GLOBAL1 Row A Row B Row C Row D CLKENA2/CLR0 Row B Row C Row E Row B CLKENA3/OE7/GLOBAL2 Row B Row D Row G Row H CLKENA4/CLR1 Row C Row E Row I Row J CLKENA5/CLK1/GLOBAL3 Row C Row F Row J Row G Signals on the peripheral control bus can also drive the four global signals, referred to as GLOBAL0 through GLOBAL3. An internally generated signal can drive a global signal, providing the same low-skew, low-delay characteristics as a signal driven by an input pin. An LE drives the global signal by driving a row line that drives the peripheral bus which then drives the global signal. This feature is ideal for internally generated clear or clock signals with high fan-out. However, internally driven global signals offer no advantage over the general-purpose interconnect for routing data signals. The chip-wide output enable pin is an active-high pin that can be used to tri-state all pins on the device. This option can be set in the Altera software. The built-in I/O pin pull-up resistors (which are active during configuration) are active when the chip-wide output enable pin is asserted. The registers in the IOE can also be reset by the chip-wide reset pin. 32 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Row-to-IOE Connections When an IOE is used as an input signal, it can drive two separate row channels. The signal is accessible by all LEs within that row. When an IOE is used as an output, the signal is driven by a multiplexer that selects a signal from the row channels. Up to eight IOEs connect to each side of each row channel (see Figure 16). Figure 16.

Each IOE can be driven by column channels via a multiplexer. The set of column channels is different for each IOE (see Figure 17). Figure 17.

The SameFrame pin-out feature is the arrangement of balls on FineLine BGA packages such that the lower-ballcount packages form a subset of the higher-ball-count packages. SameFrame pin-outs provide the flexibility to migrate not only from device to device within the same package, but also from one package to another. A given printed circuit board (PCB) layout can support multiple device density/package combinations. For example, a single board layout can support a range of devices from an EP1K10 device in a 256-pin FineLine BGA package to an EP1K100 device in a 484-pin FineLine BGA package. The Altera software provides support to design PCBs with SameFrame pin-out devices. Devices can be defined for present and future use. The Altera software generates pin-outs describing how to lay out a board that takes advantage of this migration. Figure 18 shows an example of SameFrame pin-out. Figure 18. SameFrame Pin-Out Example 13 Development Tools Printed Circuit Board Designed for 484-Pin FineLine BGA Package 256-Pin FineLine BGA 256-Pin FineLine BGA Package (Reduced I/O Count or Logic Requirements) 484-Pin FineLine BGA 484-Pin FineLine BGA Package (Increased I/O Count or Logic Requirements) Table 10 shows the ACEX 1K device/package combinations that support SameFrame pin-outs for ACEX 1K devices. All FineLine BGA packages support SameFrame pin-outs, providing the flexibility to migrate not only from device to device within the same package, but also from one package to another. The I/O count will vary from device to device. Altera Corporation 35 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet f For more information, search for "SameFrame" in MAX+PLUS II Help. Table 10.

To support high-speed designs, -1 and -2 speed grade ACEX 1K devices offer ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry containing a phase-locked loop (PLL) that is used to increase design speed and reduce resource usage. The ClockLock circuitry uses a synchronizing PLL that reduces the clock delay and skew within a device. This reduction minimizes clock-tooutput and setup times while maintaining zero hold times. The ClockBoost circuitry, which provides a clock multiplier, allows the designer to enhance device area efficiency by sharing resources within the device. The ClockBoost feature allows the designer to distribute a lowspeed clock and multiply that clock on-device. Combined, the ClockLock and ClockBoost features provide significant improvements in system performance and bandwidth. The ClockLock and ClockBoost features in ACEX 1K devices are enabled through the Altera software. External devices are not required to use these features. The output of the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuits is not available at any of the device pins. The ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry lock onto the rising edge of the incoming clock. The circuit output can drive the clock inputs of registers only; the generated clock cannot be gated or inverted. The dedicated clock pin (GCLK1) supplies the clock to the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry. When the dedicated clock pin is driving the ClockLock or ClockBoost circuitry, it cannot drive elsewhere in the device. 36 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet For designs that require both a multiplied and non-multiplied clock, the clock trace on the board can be connected to the GCLK1 pin. In the Altera software, the GCLK1 pin can feed both the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry in the ACEX 1K device. However, when both circuits are used, the other clock pin cannot be used. ClockLock & ClockBoost Timing Parameters For the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry to function properly, the incoming clock must meet certain requirements. If these specifications are not met, the circuitry may not lock onto the incoming clock, which generates an erroneous clock within the device. The clock generated by the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry must also meet certain specifications. If the incoming clock meets these requirements during configuration, the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry will lock onto the clock during configuration. The circuit will be ready for use immediately after configuration. Figure 19 shows the incoming and generated clock specifications. Figure 19.

The Altera software tunes the PLL in the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry to this frequency. The fCLKDEV parameter specifies how much the incoming clock can differ from the specified frequency during device operation. Simulation does not reflect this parameter. Twenty-five thousand parts per million (PPM) equates to 2.5% of input clock period. During device configuration, the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry is configured before the rest of the device. If the incoming clock is supplied during configuration, the ClockLock and ClockBoost circuitry locks during configuration because the tLOCK value is less than the time required for configuration. The tJITTER specification is measured under long-term observation. The maximum value for tJITTER is 200 ps if tINCLKSTB is lower than 50 ps. I/O Configuration Altera Corporation This section discusses the PCI pull-up clamping diode option, slew-rate control, open-drain output option, and MultiVolt I/O interface for ACEX 1K devices. The PCI pull-up clamping diode, slew-rate control, and open-drain output options are controlled pin-by-pin via Altera software logic options. The MultiVolt I/O interface is controlled by connecting VCCIO to a different voltage than VCCINT. Its effect can be simulated in the Altera software via the Global Project Device Options dialog box (Assign menu). 39 Development Tools tOUTDUTY Duty cycle for ClockLock or ClockBoostgenerated clock ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet PCI Pull-Up Clamping Diode Option ACEX 1K devices have a pull-up clamping diode on every I/O, dedicated input, and dedicated clock pin. PCI clamping diodes clamp the signal to the VCCIO value and are required for 3.3-V PCI compliance. Clamping diodes can also be used to limit overshoot in other systems. Clamping diodes are controlled on a pin-by-pin basis. When VCCIO is 3.3 V, a pin that has the clamping diode option turned on can be driven by a 2.5-V or 3.3-V signal, but not a 5.0-V signal. When VCCIO is 2.5 V, a pin that has the clamping diode option turned on can be driven by a 2.5-V signal, but not a 3.3-V or 5.0-V signal. Additionally, a clamping diode can be activated for a subset of pins, which allows a device to bridge between a 3.3-V PCI bus and a 5.0-V device. Slew-Rate Control The output buffer in each IOE has an adjustable output slew rate that can be configured for low-noise or high-speed performance. A slower slew rate reduces system noise and adds a maximum delay of 4.3 ns. The fast slew rate should be used for speed-critical outputs in systems that are adequately protected against noise. Designers can specify the slew rate pin-by-pin or assign a default slew rate to all pins on a device-wide basis. The slow slew rate setting affects only the falling edge of the output. Open-Drain Output Option ACEX 1K devices provide an optional open-drain output (electrically equivalent to open-collector output) for each I/O pin. This open-drain output enables the device to provide system-level control signals (e.g., interrupt and write enable signals) that can be asserted by any of several devices. It can also provide an additional wired-OR plane. MultiVolt I/O Interface The ACEX 1K device architecture supports the MultiVolt I/O interface feature, which allows ACEX 1K devices in all packages to interface with systems of differing supply voltages. These devices have one set of VCC pins for internal operation and input buffers (VCCINT), and another set for I/O output drivers (VCCIO). 40 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet The VCCINT pins must always be connected to a 2.5-V power supply. With a 2.5-V VCCINT level, input voltages are compatible with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V inputs. The VCCIO pins can be connected to either a 2.5-V or 3.3-V power supply, depending on the output requirements. When the VCCIO pins are connected to a 2.5-V power supply, the output levels are compatible with 2.5-V systems. When the VCCIO pins are connected to a 3.3-V power supply, the output high is at 3.3 V and is therefore compatible with 3.3-V or 5.0-V systems. Devices operating with VCCIO levels higher than 3.0 V achieve a faster timing delay of tOD2 instead of tOD1. Table 13 summarizes ACEX 1K MultiVolt I/O support. Table 13. ACEX 1K MultiVolt I/O Support VCCIO (V) Input Signal (V) Output Signal (V) 2.5 3.3 5.0 2.5 2.5 v v (1) v (1) v 3.3 v v v (1) v (2) 3.3 5.0 v v 13 Notes: (2) The PCI clamping diode must be disabled on an input which is driven with a voltage higher than VCCIO. When VCCIO = 3.3 V, an ACEX 1K device can drive a 2.5-V device that has 3.3-V tolerant inputs. Open-drain output pins on ACEX 1K devices (with a pull-up resistor to the 5.0-V supply) can drive 5.0-V CMOS input pins that require a higher VIH than LVTTL. When the open-drain pin is active, it will drive low. When the pin is inactive, the resistor will pull up the trace to 5.0 V, thereby meeting the CMOS VOH requirement. The open-drain pin will only drive low or tri-state; it will never drive high. The rise time is dependent on the value of the pull-up resistor and load impedance. The IOL current specification should be considered when selecting a pull-up resistor. Power Sequencing & Hot-Socketing Because ACEX 1K devices can be used in a mixed-voltage environment, they have been designed specifically to tolerate any possible power-up sequence. The VCCIO and VCCINT power planes can be powered in any order. Signals can be driven into ACEX 1K devices before and during power up without damaging the device. Additionally, ACEX 1K devices do not drive out during power up. Once operating conditions are reached, ACEX 1K devices operate as specified by the user. Altera Corporation 41 Development Tools (1) ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet IEEE Std. 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-Scan Support All ACEX 1K devices provide JTAG BST circuitry that complies with the IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 specification. ACEX 1K devices can also be configured using the JTAG pins through the ByteBlasterMV or BitBlaster download cable, or via hardware that uses the JamTM Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL), JEDEC standard JESD-71. JTAG boundary-scan testing can be performed before or after configuration, but not during configuration. ACEX 1K devices support the JTAG instructions shown in Table 14. Table 14. ACEX 1K JTAG Instructions JTAG Instruction Description SAMPLE/PRELOAD Allows a snapshot of signals at the device pins to be captured and examined during normal device operation and permits an initial data pattern to be output at the device pins. EXTEST Allows the external circuitry and board-level interconnections to be tested by forcing a test pattern at the output pins and capturing test results at the input pins. BYPASS Places the 1-bit bypass register between the TDI and TDO pins, allowing the BST data to pass synchronously through a selected device to adjacent devices during normal operation. USERCODE Selects the user electronic signature (USERCODE) register and places it between the TDI and TDO pins, allowing the USERCODE to be serially shifted out of TDO. IDCODE Selects the IDCODE register and places it between TDI and TDO, allowing the IDCODE to be serially shifted out of TDO. ICR Instructions These instructions are used when configuring an ACEX 1K device via JTAG ports using a MasterBlaster, ByteBlasterMV, or BitBlaster download cable, or a Jam File (.jam) or Jam Byte-Code File (.jbc) via an embedded processor. The instruction register length of ACEX 1K devices is 10 bits. The USERCODE register length in ACEX 1K devices is 32 bits; 7 bits are determined by the user, and 25 bits are pre-determined. Tables 15 and 16 show the boundary-scan register length and device IDCODE information for ACEX 1K devices. Table 15.

Simultaneous transitions of multiple outputs should be avoided for accurate measurement. Threshold tests must not be performed under AC conditions. Large-amplitude, fast-groundcurrent transients normally occur as the device outputs discharge the load capacitances. When these transients flow through the parasitic inductance between the device ground pin and the test system ground, significant reductions in observable noise immunity can result.

Minimum DC input voltage is -0.5 V. During transitions, the inputs may undershoot to -2.0 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter than 20 ns. Numbers in parentheses are for industrial-temperature-range devices. Maximum VCC rise time is 100 ms, and VCC must rise monotonically. All pins, including dedicated inputs, clock, I/O, and JTAG pins, may be driven before VCCINT and VCCIO are powered. Typical values are for TA = 25 C, VCCINT = 2.5 V, and VCCIO = 2.5 V or 3.3 V. These values are specified under the ACEX 1K Recommended Operating Conditions shown in Table 19 on page 46. The ACEX 1K input buffers are compatible with 2.5-V, 3.3-V (LVTTL and LVCMOS), and 5.0-V TTL and CMOS signals. Additionally, the input buffers are 3.3-V PCI compliant when VCCIO and VCCINT meet the relationship shown in Figure 22. The IOH parameter refers to high-level TTL, PCI, or CMOS output current. The IOL parameter refers to low-level TTL, PCI, or CMOS output current. This parameter applies to open-drain pins as well as output pins. This value is specified for normal device operation. The value may vary during power-up. This parameter applies to -1 speed grade commercial temperature devices and -2 speed grade industrial temperature devices. Pin pull-up resistance values will be lower if the pin is driven higher than VCCIO by an external source. Capacitance is sample-tested only. Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 22 shows the required relationship between VCCIO and VCCINT to satisfy 3.3-V PCI compliance. Figure 22.

The output driver is compliant to the 3.3-V PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 (when VCCIO pins are connected to 3.3 V). ACEX 1K devices with a -1 speed grade also comply with the drive strength requirements of the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 (when VCCINT pins are powered with a minimum supply of 2.375 V, and VCCIO pins are connected to 3.3 V). Therefore, these devices can be used in open 5.0-V PCI systems. Altera Corporation 49 Development Tools VCCIO IO (V) ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 23.

This predictable performance contrasts with that of FPGAs, which use a segmented connection scheme and, therefore, have an unpredictable performance. Device performance can be estimated by following the signal path from a source, through the interconnect, to the destination. For example, the registered performance between two LEs on the same row can be calculated by adding the following parameters: LE register clock-to-output delay (tCO) Interconnect delay (tSAMEROW) LE look-up table delay (tLUT) LE register setup time (tSU) The routing delay depends on the placement of the source and destination LEs. A more complex registered path may involve multiple combinatorial LEs between the source and destination LEs. Timing simulation and delay prediction are available with the simulator and Timing Analyzer, or with industry-standard EDA tools. The Simulator offers both pre-synthesis functional simulation to evaluate logic design accuracy and post-synthesis timing simulation with 0.1-ns resolution. The Timing Analyzer provides point-to-point timing delay information, setup and hold time analysis, and device-wide performance analysis. 50 Altera Corporation ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet Figure 24 shows the overall timing model, which maps the possible paths to and from the various elements of the ACEX 1K device.

These parameters cannot be measured explicitly. Operating conditions: VCCIO = 3.3 V 10% for commercial or industrial use in ACEX 1K devices Operating conditions: VCCIO = 2.5 V 5% for commercial or industrial use in ACEX 1K devices. Operating conditions: VCCIO = 2.5 V or 3.3 V. Because the RAM in the EAB is self-timed, this parameter can be ignored when the WE signal is registered. EAB macroparameters are internal parameters that can simplify predicting the behavior of an EAB at its boundary; these parameters are calculated by summing selected microparameters. These parameters are worst-case values for typical applications. Post-compilation timing simulation and timing analysis are required to determine actual worst-case performance.

These parameters are specified by characterization. This parameter is measured without the use of the ClockLock or ClockBoost circuits. This parameter is measured with the use of the ClockLock or ClockBoost circuits. Power Consumption Development Tools (1) (2) (3) (4) The supply power (P) for ACEX 1K devices can be calculated with the following equation: P = PINT + PIO = (ICCSTANDBY + ICCACTIVE) x VCC + PIO The ICCACTIVE value depends on the switching frequency and the application logic. This value is calculated based on the amount of current that each LE typically consumes. The PIO value, which depends on the device output load characteristics and switching frequency, can be calculated using the guidelines given in Application Note 74 (Evaluating Power for Altera Devices). 1 Altera Corporation Compared to the rest of the device, the embedded array consumes a negligible amount of power. Therefore, the embedded array can be ignored when calculating supply current. 81 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet The ICCACTIVE value can be calculated with the following equation: ICCACTIVE = K x fMAX x N x togLC (A) Where: fMAX N togLC = = = K = Maximum operating frequency in MHz Total number of LEs used in the device Average percent of LEs toggling at each clock (typically 12.5%) Constant Table 58 provides the constant (K) values for ACEX 1K devices. Table 58. ACEX 1K Constant Values Device K Value EP1K10 4.5 EP1K30 4.5 EP1K50 4.5 EP1K100 4.5 This supply power calculation provides an ICC estimate based on typical conditions with no output load. The actual ICC should be verified during operation because this measurement is sensitive to the actual pattern in the device and the environmental operating conditions. To better reflect actual designs, the power model (and the constant K in the power calculation equations) for continuous interconnect ACEX 1K devices assumes that LEs drive FastTrack Interconnect channels. In contrast, the power model of segmented FPGAs assumes that all LEs drive only one short interconnect segment. This assumption may lead to inaccurate results when compared to measured power consumption for actual designs in segmented FPGAs. Figure 31 shows the relationship between the current and operating frequency of ACEX 1K devices.

This section summarizes the device operating modes and available device configuration schemes. Operating Modes The ACEX 1K architecture uses SRAM configuration elements that require configuration data to be loaded every time the circuit powers up. The process of physically loading the SRAM data into the device is called configuration. Before configuration, as VCC rises, the device initiates a Power-On Reset (POR). This POR event clears the device and prepares it for configuration. The ACEX 1K POR time does not exceed 50 s. 1 Altera Corporation When configuring with a configuration device, refer to the relevant configuration device data sheet for POR timing information. 83 ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet During initialization, which occurs immediately after configuration, the device resets registers, enables I/O pins, and begins to operate as a logic device. Before and during configuration, all I/O pins (except dedicated inputs, clock, or configuration pins) are pulled high by a weak pull-up resistor. Together, the configuration and initialization processes are called command mode; normal device operation is called user mode. SRAM configuration elements allow ACEX 1K devices to be reconfigured in-circuit by loading new configuration data into the device. Real-time reconfiguration is performed by forcing the device into command mode with a device pin, loading different configuration data, re-initializing the device, and resuming user-mode operation. The entire reconfiguration process requires less than 40 ms and can be used to reconfigure an entire system dynamically. In-field upgrades can be performed by distributing new configuration files. Configuration Schemes The configuration data for an ACEX 1K device can be loaded with one of five configuration schemes (see Table 59), chosen on the basis of the target application. An EPC16, EPC2, EPC1, or EPC1441 configuration device, intelligent controller, or the JTAG port can be used to control the configuration of a ACEX 1K device, allowing automatic configuration on system power-up. Multiple ACEX 1K devices can be configured in any of the five configuration schemes by connecting the configuration enable (nCE) and configuration enable output (nCEO) pins on each device. Additional APEX 20K, APEX 20KE, FLEX 10K, FLEX 10KA, FLEX 10KE, ACEX 1K, and FLEX 6000 devices can be configured in the same serial chain. Table 59.
