For Rosen, another question for you, I'm studing the VHDL with Douglal Perry 3 edtn book, with ISE is possible to show a schematic view of VHDL code, this can be helpful to check if my interpretation is correct or not.

Hello! Can I change Cyclone PLL's divisor and multiply counter values on the fly? I will use Quartus, after license has arrived. I want that user can change clock frequency of device by pressing a button. Needed frequencys are between 30MHz and 100MHz. Frequencys may be for example 10MHz distances (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100MHz). I was thinking, if input frequency will be 20MHz. Then it is divided by two and then multiplyed with user's wanted value (3 to 10). Is this reasonable way? How is input frequency's jitter effecting to output freq? If fIn is 20MHz with 50ppm, is fOut then 100MHz with 250ppm? (M=10, N=2) Is this possible or is there some better way to do this? Good ideas are welcome! =) Best Regards, JoonaArticle: 55107
Does it matter "how" or just accept "that" the LUT works? The elements shift such that the address you feed as inputs to the LUT address the elements in sequence along the chain. Address 0 is the first element (most recently) shifted into, address 15 was shifted in 16 (enabled) clock edges previously. The additional silicon expense to make the memory elemets sequentially shift wasn't much, so Xilinx started desinging the feature into the LUTs quite a few years back. Many of use are very happy they did. Nachiket Kapre wrote: > How does a Virtex implement a shift register in the same LUT?

During configuration the means of getting the configuration data into the LUTs is a shift register anyway. So it was only necessary to make a seperate control signal and the shift input for each lut visible to the user. For all that I know the area cost of makíng these additional signals routable to the LUTs is higher than the modification to the LUT itself.

Hello. I am trying to put two 16x1 single port RAMs in one slice. I don't need to read from both of them simultainously, so I can use them F5MUX to mux the 2 outputs. I only need to write to both of them simultainously. The problem is that the ISE uses the SR slice input as a Write Enable. Since there is only one SR input per slice, I can have only one Write Enable signal, and can write to only one RAM at a time. Anyone has any idea? Maybe I can use the SLICEWE[2:0] inputs...Article: 55111

This is not exactly true. The configuration process uses only a single frame-size shift register. Every time this is filled, its content is loaded in parallel into the designated frame. (See any explanation of partial reconfiguration). The crucial root of SRL16 is the LUT-RAM capability. Once we had 16 writable latches, it was not too difficult to convert this structure into a shift register. Yes, the circuit designers had to be clever to insert something to avoid any race condition. The SRL16 is really a shift register in which data is physically shifted from input to output. Works like a champ, and can be quite addictive. Smart guys like Ray Andraka could not live without it. :-) You can read more about applications of this nifty feature by clicking on http://support.xilinx.com/support/techxclusives/SRL16-techxclusive2.htm Peter Alfke, Xilinx Applications ================================== Kolja Sulimma wrote: > > During configuration the means of getting the configuration data into > the LUTs is a shift register anyway. > aArticle: 55113

I had already downloaded the PCI core design from www.opencores.org and looked at it. The problem is that I am definitely going to need 64-bit PCI and possibly PCI-X, so that core isn't an immediate good fit. I am still looking at it though and came across the Northwest Logic core as a part of my ongoing research. Thanks again, BerendArticle: 55114

Vendors quote a Ta, when what they really worry about is Tj. I suspect they are trying to simplify things for the customer, but any uC designer can manage a thermal eqn :) Newer devices that push the TMAX up, are starting to quote Tj with correct Thermal resistances ( just like power devices use ). ABS-MAX Tj has not moved much, but they can push up their Ta MAX quite a bit using this approach. Cygnal spec a ABS MAX of 125'C, and commit to functional spec within -40-85'C so I'd talk with them to clarify what happens 85'C to 125'C. They do have on chip temperature reading, and do use a low-thermal-resistance MLF package, and it also sounds like you are running low clocks, so will have very low thermal adders. It also sounds like your > 85'C is not a long-term usage need, but just an extreme case coverage, to protect other devices from going above their ABS MAX Tj ? It's the same as SMD power device problems :- lower chip power, and lower package thermal resistance mean higher tolerable ambients. -jgArticle: 55115

Thanks for your comments. I am aware of the issues of Ta vs. Tj. But I have to go by what the vendors spec. When they rate the chip functions at Ta of 85C and then say they have an absolute max Tj fo 125, I have to assume that this simply prevents damage between 85C and 125C, but that correct operation is not verified by them or guaranteed. The Cygnal chips seem interesting, but I quit looking at them hard when I could not find a good temperature range. The prices seem a little high, but that may just be my not looking hard enough. So far I have found viable chips at Motorola, National and Microchip. I expect that will be good enough. Now I just need to nail the specs and pick one based on features and availability. The only thing that worries me is using software to control the board saftey systems. I have no plans to use this board in medical equipment or other critical applications, but software always has a way of biting you in the rear. But then I guess hardware can do that too, it just seems to happen sooner. -- Rick "rickman" Collins rick.collins@XYarius.com Ignore the reply address.

It's rated for 85C but with -55 to +125C abs. maximum operating temp (+150C storage) and as self heating will be negligible, Jim Granville's remarks apply here (ATTiny26 is available in low-thermal-resistance MLF package). It's low cost, low power, have 6 more IO than you need (16 IO), Flash & data EEPROM, 10 bits ADC ... The embedded EEPROM allows, among other things, for easy initial room temperature calibration if you use a thermistor. You can give ATTiny26 a look here : http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc1477.pdf If you want a 8 pins / 6 IO (or 4 + crystal) device with similar features, the ATTiny15 will do : http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc1187.pdf Their development system (AVR Studio) is complete and free. AVR architecture / assembly is a lot better than what you get with PICs and they are optimized for "C", if you ever do more advanced functions). ISP is done using a standard SPI interface, and that makes sense too. I used the ATTiny15 few months ago for a simple power supply monitoring device and I had a very good experience with it ... For the temperature sensor, you can use low cost digital sensors such as this one from National ( -50C +150C ) : http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM70.html LM77 adds 3 integrated programmable over temperature switchs (TLow / THigh / TCritical) : http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM77.html my 0.02 Eric.Article: 55118

And i know it is tricky! That's why I posted here ;-) I know AMBA has split transaction, but I tried to use Wishbone for that. I now have to admit, Wishbone is not the optimal protocol for that. My idea is to develop an universal bridge module, which can wrap requests on an existing PCB-bus system, and which is fully transparent to the on-chip cores, and has a defined interface in order to cope with on chip protocols. regards chris.Article: 55121

The host side software is in two pieces. An application, and a low level JTAG driver. The application code is totally application specific, and I wont post it. The JTAG driver code is application independent, and is linked in with the application code. (i.e. it runs in user mode, not kernel mode). This driver contains proprietary code so I can't post it. The JTAG driver makes calls to a lower level kernel mode driver that does the actual I/O to the JTAG cable. This is in a Windows NT/W2000 environment.

Firstly you might consider VHDL or verilog either would be simpler and you might get some hits from others here, then go back to first principles on long division and long multiply. The same rules apply to base 10 and base 2. Another good pointer is look at source code for a processor it is basically done the same in hardware.
