SOFT GATE ARRAY

(1 / 1)


For anyone interested in the XILINX XC-2064 LOGIC CELL ARRAY read 
on.

This is a 1000-1500 gate Gate Array that is configured by 
downloading a bit stream to it from rom at power up time. The 
configuration 'links' are maintained in CMOS static ram cells in 
the IC.
I have a spare copy of the data sheet plus some other information 
obtained at the XILINX - HAMILTON/AVNET Seminar.

Some general information :
. 12000 bits are required for configuration
  using a 1Mhz clock requires 12 milliseconds to load.
. There are 122 flop flops per IC distributed in 58 I/O blocks and 
  64 combinational blocks.
. Package size is 68 pin PLCC, 48 pin (40 i/o pins) DIP package
  available soon. 
. Development software runs on IBM PC XT/AT or compatible, with 
  hard disk.
. Full speed in circuit emulator is available.
  (you can set a hardware breakpoint with this device)
