Product Specification
Spartan-IIE FPGA Family: Functional Description
R
— OBSOLETE — OBSOLETE — OBSOLETE — OBSOLETE —
Each CLB has four direct feedthrough paths, one per LC.
These paths provide extra data input lines or additional local
routing that does not consume logic resources.
Arithmetic Logic
Dedicated carry logic provides capability for high-speed
arithmetic functions. The Spartan-IIE FPGA CLB supports
two separate carry chains, one per slice. The height of the
carry chains is two bits per CLB.
The arithmetic logic includes an XOR gate that allows a
1-bit full adder to be implemented within an LC. In addition,
a dedicated AND gate improves the efficiency of multiplier
implementations.
The dedicated carry path can also be used to cascade func-
tion generators for implementing wide logic functions.
BUFTs
Each Spartan-IIE FPGA CLB contains two 3-state drivers
(BUFTs) that can drive on-chip busses. The IOBs on the left
and right sides can also drive the on-chip busses. See
Ded-has an independent 3-state control pin and an independent
input pin. The 3-state control pin is an active-Low enable
(T). When all BUFTs on a net are disabled, the net is High.
There is no need to instantiate a pull-up unless desired for
simulation purposes. Simultaneously driving BUFTs onto
the same net will not cause contention. If driven both High
and Low, the net will be Low.
Block RAM
Spartan-IIE FPGAs incorporate several large block RAM
memories.
These
complement
the
distributed
RAM
Look-Up Tables (LUTs) that provide shallow memory struc-
tures implemented in CLBs.
Block RAM memory blocks are organized in columns. Most
Spartan-IIE devices contain two such columns, one along
each vertical edge. The XC2S400E has four block RAM col-
umns and the XC2S600E has six block RAM columns.
These columns extend the full height of the chip. Each
memory block is four CLBs high, and consequently, a
Spartan-IIE device 16 CLBs high will contain four memory
blocks per column, and a total of eight blocks.
Each block RAM cell, as illustrated in
Figure 8, is a fully syn-
chronous dual-ported 4096-bit RAM with independent con-
trol signals for each port. The data widths of the two ports
can
be
configured
independently,
providing
built-in
bus-width conversion.
