1. Packages with FCK will have 8 less registers.
The AT40KAL is a family of fully PCI-compliant, SRAM-based FPGAs with distributed
10 ns programmable synchronous/asynchronous, dual-port/single-port SRAM, 8 global
clocks, Cache Logic ability (partially or fully reconfigurable without loss of data), automatic component generators, and range in size from 5,000 to 50,000 usable gates. I/O
counts range from 128 to 384 in industry standard packages ranging from 84-pin PLCC
to 352-ball Square BGA, and support 3.3V designs.
The AT40KAL is designed to quickly implement high-performance, large gate count
designs through the use of synthesis and schematic-based tools used on a PC or Sun
platform. Atmel’s design tools provide seamless integration with industry standard tools
such as Synplicity, ModelSim, Exemplar and Viewlogic. See the “IDS Datasheet” available on the Atmel web site (http://www.atmel.com/atmel/acrobat/doc1421.pdf) for a list
of other supported tools.
The AT40KAL can be used as a coprocessor for high-speed (DSP/processor-based)
designs by implementing a variety of computation intensive, arithmetic functions. These
include adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filters, fast Fourier transforms (FFT), convolvers, interpolators and discrete-cosine transforms (DCT) that are required for video
compression and decompression, encryption, convolution and other multimedia
applications.
Fast, Flexible and
Efficient SRAM
The AT40KAL FPGA offers a patented distributed 10 ns SRAM capability where the
RAM can be used without losing logic resources. Multiple independent, synchronous or
asynchronous, dual-port or single-port RAM functions (FIFO, scratch pad, etc.) can be
created using Atmel’s macro generator tool.
Fast, Efficient Array and
Vector Multipliers
The AT40KAL’s patented 8-sided core cell with direct horizontal, vertical and diagonal
cell-to-cell connections implements ultra fast array multipliers without using any busing
resources. The AT40KAL’s Cache Logic capability enables a large number of design
coefficients and variables to be implemented in a very small amount of silicon, enabling
vast improvement in system speed at much lower cost than conventional FPGAs.

AT40KAL Series FPGA

AT40KAL Series FPGA
Cache Logic Design
The AT40KAL, AT6000 and FPSLIC families are capable of implementing Cache Logic
(dynamic full/partial logic reconfiguration, without loss of data, on-the-fly) for building
adaptive logic and systems. As new logic functions are required, they can be loaded into
the logic cache without losing the data already there or disrupting the operation of the
rest of the chip; replacing or complementing the active logic. The AT40KAL can act as a
reconfigurable coprocessor.
Automatic Component
Generators
The AT40KAL FPGA family is capable of implementing user-defined, automatically generated, macros in multiple designs; speed and functionality are unaffected by the macro
orientation or density of the target device. This enables the fastest, most predictable and
efficient FPGA design approach and minimizes design risk by reusing already proven
functions. The Automatic Component Generators work seamlessly with industry standard schematic and synthesis tools to create the fastest, most efficient designs
available.
The patented AT40KAL series architecture employs a symmetrical grid of small yet
powerful cells connected to a flexible busing network. Independently controlled clocks
and resets govern every column of cells. The array is surrounded by programmable I/O.
Devices range in size from 5,000 to 50,000 usable gates in the family, and have 256 to
3,048 registers. Pin locations are consistent throughout the AT40KAL series for easy
design migration in the same package footprint. The AT40KAL series FPGAs utilize a
reliable 0.35µ triple-metal, CMOS process and are 100% factory-tested. Atmel’s PCand workstation-based integrated development system (IDS) is used to create
AT40KAL series designs. Multiple design entry methods are supported.
The Atmel architecture was developed to provide the highest levels of performance,
functional density and design flexibility in an FPGA. The cells in the Atmel array are
small, efficient and can implement any pair of Boolean functions of (the same) three
inputs or any single Boolean function of four inputs. The cell’s small size leads to arrays
with large numbers of cells, greatly multiplying the functionality in each cell. A simple,
high-speed busing network provides fast, efficient communication over medium and
long distances.
