Features: `Very High Speed ViaLinkÒ metal-to-metal, programmable-via antifuse technology ensures useful internal logic function speeds at over 100 MHz, and logic cell delays of under 2 ns.
`High Usable Density Up to 8,000 usable ASIC gates, equivalent to 14,000 usable programmable logic (PLD) gates.
`Low Power/ 3.3 Volt Supply Stand-by current typically 2 mA with 5.0 Volt supply and less than 1 mA with 3.3 Volt supply.
`Flexible FPGA Architecture The pASIC 1 logic cell supports efficient, high-speed arithmetic, counter, data path, state machine and random logic applications with up to 14-input wide gates.
`Low-Cost, Easy-to-Use Design Tools Designs entered and simulated using QuickLogic's QuickWorks toolkit or third-party
`CAE tools. Fast, fully automatic place and route on PC and workstation platforms.DescriptionThe QL16x24B very-high-speed CMOS user-programmable ASIC (pASIC) devices is based on the first FPGA technology to combine high speed, high density and low power in a single architecture. QL16x24B devices range in density from 1,000 to 8,000 usable ASIC gates, equivalent to 2,000 to 14,000 usable programmable (PLD) gates.
QL16x24B are based on an array of highly flexible logic cells which have been optimized for efficient implementation of high-speed arithmetic, counter, data path, state machine, random and glue logic functions. Logic cells of QL16x24B are configured and interconnected by rows and columns of routing metal and ViaLink metal-to-metal programmable-via interconnect elements.
ViaLink technology of QL16x24B provides a nonvolatile, permanently programmed custom logic function capable of operating at counter speeds of over 150 MHz. Internal logic cell nominal worst case delays are under 2 ns and total input to output combinatorial logic delays are under 8 ns. This permits high-density programmable devices to be used with today's fastest microprocessors, while consuming a fraction of the power and board area of PAL/GAL, CPLD and discrete logic solutions.
Designs can be entered on PC or workstation platforms using either QuickLogic's QuickWorks toolkit or a variety of popular third-party design-entry, logic synthesis and simulation tools. The QuickWorks toolkit of QL16x24B provides design entry (VHDL, Verilog and schematic), place and route, timing analysis, simulation and programming for all QuickLogic devices. The pASIC 1 architecture provides sufficient on-chip routing to allow fully automatic place and route of designs using up to 100% of the available logic cells.
