ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet

On all ACEX 1K devices, the input path from the I/O pad to the FastTrack

Interconnect has a programmable delay element that can be used to

guarantee a zero hold time. 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-to-

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

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 chip-

wide reset signal resets all IOE registers, overriding any other control

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.
