QuickLogic PolarPro™ Data Sheet Rev. D
Programmable Logic Architectural Overview
The QuickLogic PolarPro logic cell structure presented in
Figure 2
is a single register, multiplexer-based logic
cell. It is designed for wide fan-in and multiple, simultaneous output functions. The cell has a high fan-in, fits
a wide range of functions with up to 24 simultaneous inputs (including register control lines), and four outputs
(three combinatorial and one registered). The high logic capacity and fan-in of the logic cell accommodates
many user functions with a single level of logic delay.
The QuickLogic PolarPro logic cell can implement:
• Two independent 3-input functions
• Any 4-input function
• 8 to 1 mux function
• Independent 2 to 1 mux function
• Single dedicated register with clock enable, active high set and reset signals
• Direct input selection to the register, which allows combinatorial and register logic to be used separately
• Combinatorial logic that can also be configured as an edge-triggered master-slave D flip-flop

QuickLogic PolarPro™ Data Sheet Rev. D
RAM Modules
The PolarPro family of devices include two different RAM block sizes. The QL1P075, QL1P100, QL1P200,
and QL1P300 have 4-kilobit (4,608 bits) RAM blocks, while the QL1P600 and QL1P1000 devices have
8-kilobit (9,216 bits) RAM blocks.
The RAM features include:
• Independently configurable read and write data bus widths
• Independent read and write clocks
• Horizontal and vertical concatenation
• Write byte enables
• Selectable pipelined or non-pipelined read data

QuickLogic PolarPro™ Data Sheet Rev. D
The read and write data buses of a RAM block can be arranged to variable bus widths. The bus widths can be
configured using the RAM Wizard available in QuickWorks, QuickLogic’s development software. The selection
of the RAM depth and width determines how the data is addressed.
The RAM blocks also support data concatenation. Designers can cascade multiple RAM modules to increase
the depth or width by connecting corresponding address lines together and dividing the words between
modules. Generally, this requires the use of additional programmable logic resources. However, when
concatenating only two 4-kilobit RAM blocks or two 8-kilobit RAM blocks, they can be concatenated
horizontally or vertically without using any additional programmable fabric resources.
For example, two internal 4-kilobit dual-port RAM blocks concatenated vertically to create a 512x18 RAM
block or horizontally to create a 256x36 RAM block. A block diagram of horizontal and vertical concatenation
is displayed in
Figure 4.
