A 5-10GHz SiGe BiCMOS FPGA with new configurable logic block
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new multiplexer based FPGA, which can operate at a clock frequency of 5–10 GHz. Redundant switches on the original signal paths are removed improving the performance. The configurable logic blocks (CLBs) power is greatly reduced by using a revised multiplexer structure and turning off unused cells dynamically. More routing capabilities are provided with more inputs/outputs in each direction than similar designs. A chip consisting of four FPGA ring oscillators was fabricated. The Spice simulation results and chip measurements are presented. q 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

A High Performance Field Programmable Gate Arrays Created by SiGe HBT BiCMOS
In 2000, the first high speed SiGe FPGA utilizing Current Mode Logic (CML) was proposed. The excellent high speed performance that CML allows made it a good candidate for use in high speed FPGA design. However, the large power consumption associated with CML (108mW for the FPGA building block) made the design difficult to scale up. To alleviate this problem, an improved FPGA with shorter propag...
