The XPLA3 CoolRunner CPLD family provides unique architectural features that offer efficientdesign utilization within the device and great benefits to designers. One such feature is theuniversal control term networks. XPLA3 devices provide four universal control terms that areavailable to all macrocells within the device. This provides efficient utilization of commonproduct terms that are used as clocks, output enables, resets, and presets.These control termscan be generated once and then used throughout the device. In other architectures, it may benecessary to replicate the logic generating these control terms in multiple logic blocks, thuswasting device resources.
