PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY HAVING INTERCONNECTING LOGIC TO SUPPORT EMBEDDED FIXED LOGIC CIRCUITRY

摘要

Interconnecting logic provides connectivity of an embedded fixed logic circuit, or circuits, with programmable logic fabric of a programmable gate array such that the fixed logic circuit functions as an extension of the programmable logic fabric. The interconnecting logic includes interconnecting tiles and may further include interfacing logic. The interconnecting tiles provide selective connectivity between inputs and/or outputs of the fixed logic circuit and the interconnects of the programmable logic fabric. The interfacing logic, when included, provides logic circuitry that conditions data transfers between the fixed logic circuit and the programmable logic fabric.
