Abstract :
The FLEX 10 K family features the first programmable logic architecture that includes embedded arrays. The combination of embedded arrays and logic allows the FLEX 10 K architecture to implement complex memory and logic functions with greater efficiency and higher performance than other high-density programmable logic schemes. The FLEX 10 K architecture, coupled with enhancements to industry development tools, overcomes the limitations that other programmable logic architectures have implementing complex functions such as: synchronous/asynchronous RAM, dual-port RAMs, FIFOs, and multipliers. The ease with which the FLEX 10 K allows designers to implement complex functions coupled with densities of up to 100,000 gates allows FLEX 10 K to be used where gate arrays and ASICs were once the only feasible solution
