This application note describes how the existing dual-port block memories in the Spartan™-IIand Virtex™ families can be used as Quad-Port memories. This essentially involves a dataaccess time (halved) versus functionality (doubled) trade-off. The overall bandwidth of the blockmemory in terms of bits per second will remain the same.

This application note shows how to achieve low-cost, efficient serial configuration for Spartan FPGA designs. The approachrecommended here takes advantage of unused resources in a design, thereby reducing the cost, part count, memory size,and board space associated with the serial configuration circuitry. As a result, neither processor nor PROM needs to be fullydedicated to performing Spartan configuration.In particular, information is provided on how the idle processing time of an on-board controller can be used to loadconfiguration data from an off-board source. As a result, it is possible to upgrade a Spartan design in the field by sending thebitstream over a network.

Most designers wish to utilize as much of a device as possible in order to enhance the overallproduct performance, or extend a feature set. As a design grows, inevitably it will exceed thearchitectural limitations of the device. Exactly why a design does not fit can sometimes bedifficult to determine. Programmable logic devices can be configured in almost an infinitenumber of ways. The same design may fit when you use certain implementation switches, andfail to fit when using other switches. This application note attempts to clarify the CPLD softwareimplementation (CPLDFit) options, as well as discuss implementation tips in CoolRunnerTM-IIdesigns in order to maximize CPLD utilization.

Applying power to a standard logic chip, SRAM, or EPROM, usually results in output pinstracking the applied voltage as it rises. Programmable logic attempts to emulate that behavior,but physics forbids perfect emulation, due to the device programmability. It requires care tospecify the pin behavior, because programmable parts encounter unknown variables – yourdesign and your power environment.

Today’s digital systems combine a myriad of chips with different voltage configurations.Designers must interface 2.5V processors with 3.3V memories—both RAM and ROM—as wellas 5V buses and multiple peripheral chips. Each chip has specific power supply needs. CPLDsare ideal for handling the multi-voltage interfacing, but do require forethought to ensure correctoperation.

The exacting technological demands created byincreasing bandwidth requirements have given riseto significant advances in FPGA technology thatenable engineers to successfully incorporate highspeedI/O interfaces in their designs. One aspect ofdesign that plays an increasingly important role isthat of the FPGA package. As the interfaces get fasterand wider, choosing the right package has becomeone of the key considerations for the systemdesigner.

This application note shows how a Xilinx CoolRunnerTM-II CPLD can be used as a simplelogical switch that can quickly and reliably select between different MPEG video sources. Thesource code for the design is available on the Xilinx website, and is linked from the “VHDLCode” section. The code can be expanded by the user to perform additional operations usingthe remaining CPLD resources

The Virtex-4 features, such as the programmable IDELAY and built-in FIFO support, simplifythe bridging of a high-speed, PCI-X core to large amounts of DDR-SDRAM memory. Onechallenge is meeting the PCI-X target initial latency specification. PCI-X Protocol Addendum tothe PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0a ([Ref 6]) dictates that when a target signals adata transfer, "the target must do so within 16 clocks of the assertion of FRAME#." PCItermination transactions, such as Split Response/Complete, are commonly used to meet thelatency specifications. This method adds complexity to the design, as well as additional systemlatency. Another solution is to increase the ratio of the memory frequency to the PCI-X busfrequency. However, this solution increases the required power and clock resource usage.
