DESCRIPTION
The PZ5128 CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is the
third in a family of Fast Zero Power (FZP) CPLDs from Philips
Semiconductors. These devices combine high speed and zero
power in a 128 macrocell CPLD. With the FZP design technique,
the PZ5128 offers true pin-to-pin speeds of 7.5ns, while
simultaneously delivering power that is less than 100µA at standby
without the need for ‘turbo bits’ or other power down schemes. By
replacing conventional sense amplifier methods for implementing
product terms (a technique that has been used in PLDs since the
bipolar era) with a cascaded chain of pure CMOS gates, the
dynamic power is also substantially lower than any competing CPLD
– 70% lower at 50MHz. These devices are the first TotalCMOS
PLDs, as they use both a CMOS process technology and the
patented full CMOS FZP design technique. For 3V applications,
Philips also offers the high speed PZ3128 CPLD that of fers these
features in a full 3V implementation.
The Philips FZP CPLDs introduce the new patent-pending XPLA
(eXtended Programmable Logic Array) architecture. The XPLA
architecture combines the best features of both PLA and PAL type
structures to deliver high speed and flexible logic allocation that
results in superior ability to make design changes with fixed pinouts.
The XPLA structure in each logic block provides a fast 10ns PAL
path with 5 dedicated product terms per output. This PAL path is
joined by an additional PLA structure that deploys a pool of 32
product terms to a fully programmable OR array that can allocate
the PLA product terms to any output in the logic block. This
combination allows logic to be allocated efficiently throughout the
logic block and supports as many as 37 product terms on an output.
The speed with which logic is allocated from the PLA array to an
output is only 2ns, regardless of the number of PLA product terms
used, which results in worst case tPD’s of only 9.5ns from any pin to
any other pin. In addition, logic that is common to multiple outputs
can be placed on a single PLA product term and shared across
multiple outputs via the OR array, effectively increasing design
density.
The PZ5128 CPLDs are supported by industry standard CAE tools
(Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys, Synario, Viewlogic, MINC), using text
(Abel, VHDL, Verilog) and/or schematic entry. Design verification
uses industry standard simulators for functional and timing
simulation. Development is supported on personal computer, Sparc,
and HP platforms. Device fitting uses either MINC or Philips
Semiconductors-developed tools.
The PZ5128 CPLD is electrically reprogrammable using industry
standard device programmers from vendors such as Data I/O, BP
Microsystems, SMS, and others. The PZ5128 also includes an
industry-standard, IEEE 1149.1, JT AG interface through which
in-system programming (ISP) and reprogramming of the device is
supported.
