MACH4-96
MACH4-96 is High-Performance EE CMOS Programmable Logic manufactured by Lattice.
DESCRIPTION
The MACH4-96/96 (M4-96/96) is a member of Vantis’ high-performance EE CMOS MACH 4 family. This device has approximately three times the macrocell capability of the popular MACH111SP, with significant additional density and functional features
. The M4-96/96 consists of six PAL® blocks interconnected by a programmable central switch matrix. The central switch matrix connects the PAL blocks to each other and to all input pins, providing a high degree of connectivity between the PAL blocks. This allows designs to be placed and routed efficiently. Routability is further enhanced by an input switch matrix and an output switch matrix. The input switch matrix provides input signals with alternative paths into the central switch matrix; the output switch matrix provides flexibility in assigning macrocells to I/O pins.

The M4-96/96 has macrocells that can be configured as synchronous or asynchronous. This allows designers to implement both synchronous and asynchronous logic together on the same device. The two types of design can be mixed in any proportion, since the selection on each macrocell affects only that macrocell. Up to 20 product terms per macrocell can be assigned. It is possible to allocate some product terms away from a macrocell without losing the use of that macrocell for logic generation. The M4-96 macrocell provides either registered or binatorial outputs with programmable polarity. If a registered configuration is chosen, the register can be configured as D-type, T-type, JK, or S-R to help reduce the number of product terms used. The flip-flop can also be configured as a latch. The register type decision can be made by the designer using software. All macrocells can be connected to an I/O cell through the output switch matrix. The output...
