(fpBGA), and chip-array BGA (caBGA) packages ranging from 44 to 388 pins (Table 3). It also offers I/O
safety features for mixed-voltage designs so that the 3.3-V devices can accept 5-V inputs, and 5-V devices
do not overdrive 3.3-V inputs. Additional features include Bus-Friendly inputs and I/Os, a programmable
power-down mode for extra power savings and individual output slew rate control for the highest speed
transition or for the lowest noise transition.

ispMACH 4A Family
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The fundamental architecture of ispMACH 4A devices (Figure 1) consists of multiple, optimized PAL
®
blocks interconnected by a central switch matrix. The central switch matrix allows communication between
PAL blocks and routes inputs to the PAL blocks. Together, the PAL blocks and central switch matrix allow
the logic designer to create large designs in a single device instead of having to use multiple devices.
The key to being able to make effective use of these devices lies in the interconnect schemes. In the
ispMACH 4A architecture, the macrocells are flexibly coupled to the product terms through the logic
allocator, and the I/O pins are flexibly coupled to the macrocells due to the output switch matrix. In
addition, more input routing options are provided by the input switch matrix. These resources provide the
flexibility needed to fit designs efficiently.

Notes:
1. 16 for ispMACH 4A devices with 1:1 macrocell-I/O cell ratio (see next page).
2. Block clocks do not go to I/O cells in M4A(3,5)-32/32.
3. M4A(3,5)-192, M4A(3,5)-256, M4A3-384, and M4A3-512 have dedicated clock pins which cannot be used as inputs and do not connect to the central switch
