Selectable IO Standard
The FullFlex device families offer the option to choose one of the
four port standards for the device. Each port independently
selects standards from single ended HSTL class I, single ended
LVTTL, 2.5V LVCMOS, or 1.8V LVCMOS. The selection of the
standard is determined by the PORTSTD pins for each port.
These pins must be connected to an LVTTL power suppy. This
determines the input clock, address, control, data, and Echo
clock standard for each port as shown in Table 1.
Clocking
Separate clocks synchronize the operations on each port. Each
port has one clock input C. In this mode, all the transactions on
the address, control, and data are on the C rising edge. All trans-
actions on the address, control, data input, output, and byte
enables occur on the C rising edge.
Selectable Pipelined or Flow th rough Mode
To meet data rate and throughput requirements, the FullFlex
families offer selectable pipelined or flow through mode. Echo
clocks are not supported in flow through mode and the DLL must
be disabled.
Flow through mode is selected by the FTSEL pin. Strapping this
pin HIGH selects pipelined mode. S trapping this pin LOW selects
flow through mode.
DLL
The FullFlex familes of devices have an on-chip DLL. Enabling
the DLL reduces the clock to data valid (tCD) time enabling more
setup time for the receiving device. For operation below
100 MHz, the DLL must be disabled. This is selectable by
strapping LowSPD low.
Whenever the operatin g frequency is altered beyond the Clock
Input Cycle to Cycle Jitter specification, reset the DLL, followed
by 1024 clocks before any valid operation.
LowSPD pins are used to reset the DLLs for a single port
independent of all other circuitry . MRST is used to reset all DLLs
on the chip. For more information on DLL lock and reset time,
see Master Reset on page 17 .
Echo Clocking
As the speed of data increases, on-board delays caused by
parasitics make it extremely difficult to provide accurate clock
trees. To counter this problem, the FullFlex families incorporate
Echo Clocks. Echo Clocks are enabled on a per port basis. The
dual port receives input clocks that are used to clock in the
address and control signals fo r a read operation. The dual port
retransmits the input clocks relative to the data output. The
buffered clocks are provided on the CQ1/CQ1 and CQ0/CQ0
outputs. Each port has a pair of Echo clocks. Each clock is
associated with half the data bits. The output clock matches the
corresponding ports IO configuration.
To enable echo clock outp uts, tie CQEN HIGH. To disab le echo
clock outputs, tie CQEN LOW.
Deterministic Access Control
Deterministic Access Control is provided for ease of design. The
circuitry detects when both ports access the same location and
provides an external BUSY flag to the port on which data is
corrupted. The collision detection logic saves the address in
conflict (Busy Address) to a readable register. In the case of
multiple collisions, the first busy address is written to the busy
address register.
If both ports access the same location at the same time and only
one port is doing a write, if tCCS is met, then the data writt en to
and read from the address is valid data. For example, if the right
port is reading an d the left port is writing and the left ports clock
meets tCCS, then the data read from the address by the right port
is the old data. In the same case, i f the right ports clock meets
tCCS, then the data read out of the address from the right port is
the new data. In the above case, if tCCS is violated by the either
ports clock with respect to the other port and the right port gets
the external BUSY flag, the data from the right port is corrupted.
Table 3 on page 11 shows the tCCS timing that must be met to
guarantee the data.
Table 4 on page 11 shows that, in the case of the left port writing
and the right port reading, when an external BUSY flag is
asserted on the right port, the data read out of the device is not
guaranteed.
The value in the busy address register is read back to the
address lines. The required input control signals for this function
are shown in Table 7 on page 13. The value in the busy address
register is read out to the address lines tCA after the same
amount of latency as a data read operation. After an initial
address match, the BUSY flag is asserted and the address under
contention is saved in the busy address register . All the following
