eX Family FPGAs
eX Family FPGAs
General Description
The eX family of FPGAs is a low-cost solution for low-
power, high-performance designs. The inherent low
power attributes of the antifuse technology, coupled
with an additional low static power mode, make these
devices ideal for power-sensitive applications. Fabricated
with an advanced 0.22µm CMOS antifuse technology,
these devices achieve high performance with no power
penalty
.
impedance connection. Actel’s eX family provides two
types of logic modules, the register cell (R-cell) and the
combinatorial cell (C-cell).
The R-cell contains a flip-flop featuring asynchronous
clear, asynchronous preset, and clock enable (using the
S0 and S1 lines) control signals (Figure
1-1).
The R-cell
registers feature programmable clock polarity selectable
on a register-by-register basis. This provides additional
flexibility while allowing mapping of synthesized
functions into the eX FPGA. The clock source for the R-
cell can be chosen from either the hard-wired clock or
the routed clock.
The C-cell implements a range of combinatorial functions
up to five inputs (Figure
1-2 on page 1-2).
Inclusion of
the DB input and its associated inverter function enables
the implementation of more than 4,000 combinatorial
functions in the eX architecture in a single module.
Two C-cells can be combined together to create a flip-
flop to imitate an R-cell via the use of the CC macro. This
is particularly useful when implementing non-timing-
critical paths and when the design engineer is running
out of R-cells. More information about the CC macro can
be found in Actel’s
Maximizing Logic Utilization in eX, SX
and SX-A FPGA Devices Using CC Macros

note.
eX Family Architecture
Actel's eX family is implemented on a high-voltage twin-
well CMOS process using 0.22µm design rules. The eX
family architecture uses a “sea-of-modules” structure
where the entire floor of the device is covered with a
grid of logic modules with virtually no chip area lost to
interconnect elements or routing. Interconnection
among these logic modules is achieved using Actel’s
patented
metal-to-metal
programmable
antifuse
interconnect elements. The antifuse interconnect is
made up of a combination of amorphous silicon and
dielectric material with barrier metals and has an "on"
state resistance of 25Ω with a capacitance of 1.0fF for
low-signal impedance. The antifuses are normally open
circuit and, when programmed, form a permanent low-
