Abstract
1. ABSTRACT This paper describes the Van& VFl FPGA architecture, an innovative architecture based on 0.251 (drawn) (0.18~ Leff)/4-metal technology. It was designed from scratch for high performance, routability and ease-of-use. It supports system level functions (including wide gating functions, dual-port SRAMs, high speed carry chains, and high speed IO blocks) with a symmetrical structure. Additionally, the architecture of each of the critical elements including: variable-grain logic blocks, variable-length-interconnects, dual-port embedded SRAM blocks, I/O blocks and on-chip PLL functions will be described.Keywords
