XC4000 Architecture Programmable Interconnect I/O Blocks (IOBs) Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)
XC4000E/X Configurable Logic Blocks 2 Four-input function generators (Look Up Tables) - 16x1 RAM or Logic function 2 Registers - Each can be configured as Flip Flop or Latch - Independent clock polarity - Synchronous and asynchronous Set/Reset
Look Up Tables Capacity is limited by number of inputs, not complexity Choose to use each function generator as 4 input logic (LUT) or as high speed sync.dual port RAM Combinatorial Logic is stored in 16x1 SRAM Look Up Tables (LUTs) in a CLB Example: A B C D Z Look Up Table Combinatorial Logic A B C D Z 4-bit address G Func. Gen. G4 G3 G2 G1 WE 2 (2 ) 4 = 64K !
