Design and implementation of a delay-optimized universal programmable routing circuit for FPGAs

This paper presents a universal field programmable gate array (FPGA) programmable routing circuit,focusing primarily on a delay optimization. Under the precondition of the routing resource's flexibility and routability, the number of programmable interconnect points (PIP) is reduced, and a multiplexer (MUX) plus a BUFFER structure is adopted as the programmable switch. Also, the method of offset lines and the method of complementary hanged end-lines are applied to the TILE routing circuit and the I/O routing circuit, respectively. All of the above features ensure that the whole FPGA chip is highly repeatable, and the signal delay is uniform and predictable over the total chip. Meanwhile, the BUFFER driver is optimized to decrease the signal delay by up to 5%. The proposed routing circuit is applied to the Fudan programmable device (FDP) FPGA, which has been taped out with an SMIC 0.18-μm logic 1P6M process. The test result shows that the programmable routing resource works correctly, and the signal delay over the chip is highly uniform and predictable.

Effect of the prefabricated routing track distribution on FPGAarea-efficiency

In most commercial field programmable gate arrays (FPGA's) the number of wiring tracks in each channel is the same across the entire chip. A long-standing open question for both FPGA's and channeled gate arrays is whether or not some uneven distribution of routing tracks across the chip would lead to an area benefit. For example, many circuit designers intuitively believe that most congestion occurs near the center of a chip, and hence expect that having wider routing channels near the chip center would be beneficial. In this paper, we determine the relative area-efficiency of several different routing track distributions. We first investigate FPGA's in which horizontal and vertical channels contain different numbers of tracks in order to determine if such a directional bias provides a density advantage. Second, we examine routing track distributions in which the track capacities vary from channel to channel. We compare the area efficiency of these nonuniform routing architectures to that of an FPGA with uniform channel capacities across the entire chip. The main result is that the most area-efficient global routing architecture is one with uniform (or very nearly uniform) channel capacities across the entire chip in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This paper shows why this result, which is contrary to the intuition of many FPGA architects, is true. While a uniform routing architecture is the most area-efficient, several nonuniform and directionally biased architectures are fairly area-efficient provided that appropriate choices are made for the pin positions on the logic blocks and the logic block array aspect ratio     

A single-chip programmable platform based on a multithreaded processor and configurable logic clusters

This paper presents a single-chip programmable platform that integrates most of hardware blocks required in the design of embedded system chips. The platform includes a 32-bit multithreaded RISC processor (MT-RISC), configurable logic clusters (CLCs), programmable first-in-first-out (FIFO) memories, control circuitry, and on-chip memories. For rapid thread switch, a multithreaded processor equipped with a hardware thread scheduling unit is adopted, and configurable logics are grouped into clusters for IP-based design. By integrating both the multithreaded processor and the configurable logic on a single chip, high-level language-based designs can be easily accommodated by performing the complex and concurrent functions of a target chip on the multithreaded processor and implementing the external interface functions into the configurable logic clusters. A 64-mm/sup 2/ prototype chip integrating a four-threaded MT-RISC, three CLCs, programmable FIFOs, and 8-kB on-chip memories is fabricated in a 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS technology with four metal layers, which operates at 100-MHz clock frequency and consumes 370 mW at 3.3-V power supply.
