Description
The UA2 series of ULC s is well suited for co nversion of large sized CPLDs and
FPGAs. Devices are i mp lem ented in highperformance CMO S techn ology wi th 0.2 5
µm (drawn) channel lengths, and are capable of supporting flipflo p to ggl e r a te s o f
280 MHz at 2.5V, an d input to out put delay cells as fa st as 100ps at 2 .5V. T he arch i-
tecture of the UA2 series allows for efficient conversion of many PLD architecture and
FPGA device types with higher IO count. A com pact RAM cell, along with the large
number of available gates allows the implementation of RAM in FP GA architectures
that support this fea ture, as well as JTAG boundaryscan and scanpath testing.
Conve rsi on to the UA2 s eries of ULC can prov ide a significant red uction in operatin g
power when compared to the original PLD or FPGA. This is especially true when com-
pa red to many PLD and CPLD archi tecture devices , wh ich typically cons ume 100mA
or more even when not being clocked. The UA2 series has a very low standby con-
sumption of less than 0.3 nA/gate typically commercial temp, which would yield a
standby current of 0.3 nA/gat e, 0.42µA on a 144,000 gates design. Operating c on-
sumption is a strict fu nction of clock frequency, which typically results in a po wer
reduction of 50% to 90% depending on the device being com pared.
The UA2 series provides several options for output buffers, including a variety of drive
levels up t o 18mA. Sch mitt trigge r inputs are also a n optio n. A numb er of t echniqu es
are used for improved noise immunity and reduced EMC emissions, including: several
independent power sup ply bu sses and internal decoupling for isolation ; slew rate lim-
ited outputs are also av ailable if required.

The UA2 series is designed to allow conversion of high performance 2.5V devices. Sup-
port of mixed su pply co nversions (2.5V co re, 3.3V periphe ry) is also poss ible, allo wing
optimal tradeof fs between speed and power c onsum ption.
Array Organi zati on
Architecture
The basic element of the UA2 family is called a cell. One cell can typically implement
between one to four FPGA gates. Cells are located contiguously through out the core of
the device, with rout ing resources provided in three to four metal layers above the c ells.
Some cell blockage does occur due to routing, and utilization will be significantly greater
with th ree met al routing than tw o. The sizes list ed in the P roduct Ou tline are estim ated
us able a mou nts usi ng three met al lay ers. I/O ce lls are prov ided a t each pad, and m ay
be configured as inputs, outputs, I/Os, VDD or VSS as required to match any FPGA or
PLD pinout.

In order t o imp rove noi s e imm unity wi thin t he dev ice, s eparate VDD and VSS busses are
provided for the internal cells and the I/O cells.
I/O buffer interfacing
I/O Fl ex ib ili ty Al l I/O buf fers may be conf igured as input , outpu t, bi-direc tional , oscilla tor or sup ply. A
level translator could be located close to each buffer.
I/O Option s Inputs
Each input can be programmed as TTL, CMOS, or Schmitt Trigger, wi th or without a pull
up or pull down resistor.
Fast Output Buffer
Fast output buffers are able to source or sink 2 to 18mA at 3.3V according to the chosen
option. 36mA achievable, using 2 pads.
Slew Rate Controlled Output Buffer
In this mode, the p an d noutp ut tr ansist ors comm ands a re de layed, so th at they a re
never set ON simultaneously, resulting in a low switching current and low noise. These
buffers are dedicated to very high load drive.
2. 5V Compatibility
The UA2 series of ULCs is fully capable of supporting highperformance operation at
2.5V for core or 3.3V for periphery. The performance specifications of any given ULC
design howev er, must be explicitly specified as 2.5V, 3.3V or both.
Power Supply and Noise Protection
The speed and density of the UA 2 te chnolog y caus e large switching current sp ikes, for
exampl e, when:
16 high current output buffers swi tch simultaneously, or
10% of the 700 000 gates are switching within a window of 1ns.
Sharp edges and high currents cause some pa rasitic elements in the packaging to
become significant. In this frequency range, the package inductance and series resis-
tance shoul d be taken into acc ount. It is k nown that an inductor slows down the setting
time of the current and causes voltage drops on the power supply lines. These drops
can affect the behavior of the circuit itself or disturb the external application (ground
bounce).
In order to improve the noise immunity of the UA2 core matrix, several mechanisms
have been implemented inside the UA2 arrays. Two types of protection have been
added: one t o limit the I/O buf fer switchin g noise and the o ther to protec t the I/O buffers
against the switching noise coming from the matrix.
I/O buffers switching prote ction Three fea tures are implement ed to limit t he noise gene rated by the switching current:
The power supplies of the input and output buffers are separated.
The rise and fall times of the output buffe rs can be controlled by an internal
regulator.
A design rule concerning the number of buffers connected on the same power
supply line has been imposed.

Matrix switching curren t
protection This no ise disturba nce is caused by a l arge numbe r o f gates switchi ng simultan eously.
To allo w this without impacting the functionality of the circuit, three new fea tures have
been added:
Decoupling capacitors are integrated directly on the si licon to reduce the power
supply drop.
A power supply network has been implemented in the matrix. This solution reduces
the number of parasitic elements such as inductance and resistance and constitutes
an artificial VDD and Ground plane. One mesh of the network supplies
approximately 150 cells.
A low pass filter has been added betwe en the matrix and the input to the output
buffer. This limits the tran smission of the noise com ing from the ground or the VDD
supply of the matrix to the external world via the output buffers.
