eX Automotive Family FPGAs
eX Automotive Family FPGAs
General Description
low-signal impedance. The antifuses are normally open
circuit and, when programmed, form a permanent lowimpedance connection. Actel’s eX family provides two
types of logic modules, the register cell (R-cell) and the
combinatorial cell (C-cell).
Based on a 0.22 µm CMOS process technology, the eX
family of FPGAs is a low-cost solution for low-power,
high-performance designs. With the automotive
temperature grade support (–40ºC to 125ºC), the eX
devices can address many in-cabin telematics and
automobile interconnect applications. The low-power
attributes inherent in antifuse technology make the eX
devices ideal for designers who are looking to integrate
low-density, power-sensitive automotive applications
into a programmable logic solution, enabling quick timeto-market.
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 Rcell can be chosen from either the hardwired clock or the
routed clock.
eX Family Architecture
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.
The Actel eX family is implemented on a high-voltage
twin-well CMOS process using 0.22 µm 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 25 Ω with a capacitance of 1.0 fF for
S0
Two C-cells can be combined together to create a flipflop to imitate an R-cell via the use of the CC macro. This
is particularly useful when implementing nontimingcritical paths and when the design engineer is running
out of R-cells. For more information about the CC macro,
refer to the Actel Maximizing Logic Utilization in eX, SX
and SX-A FPGA Devices Using CC Macros application
note.

Module Organization
DirectConnect is a horizontal routing resource that
provides connections from a C-cell to its neighboring R-cell
in a given SuperCluster. DirectConnect uses a hardwired
signal path requiring no programmable interconnection to
achieve its fast signal propagation time of less than 0.1 ns.
C-cell and R-cell logic modules are arranged into
horizontal banks called Clusters, each of which contains
two C-cells and one R-cell in a C-R-C configuration.
Clusters are further organized into modules called
SuperClusters for improved design efficiency and device
performance, as shown in Figure 1-3 on page 1-3. Each
SuperCluster is a two-wide grouping of Clusters.
FastConnect enables horizontal routing between any
two logic modules within a given SuperCluster and
vertical routing with the SuperCluster immediately
below it. Only one programmable connection is used in a
FastConnect path, delivering maximum pin-to-pin
propagation of 0.6 ns.
Routing Resources
In addition to DirectConnect and FastConnect, the
architecture makes use of two globally oriented routing
resources, known as segmented routing and high-drive
routing. Actel’s segmented routing structure provides a
variety of track lengths for extremely fast routing
between SuperClusters. The exact combination of track
lengths and antifuses within each path is chosen by the
fully automatic place-and-route software to minimize
signal propagation delays.
Clusters and SuperClusters can be connected through the
use of two innovative local routing resources called
FastConnect and DirectConnect, which enable extremely
fast and predictable interconnection of modules within
Clusters and SuperClusters (Figure 1-4 on page 1-3). This
routing architecture also dramatically reduces the
number of antifuses required to complete a circuit,
ensuring the highest possible performance.

Clock Resources
eX’s high-drive routing structure provides three clock
networks. The first clock, called HCLK, is hardwired from
the HCLK buffer to the clock select MUX in each R-cell.
HCLK cannot be connected to combinational logic. This
provides a dedicated propagation path for the clock signal
for the automotive-grade eX devices. The hardwired clock
is tuned to provide a clock skew of less than 0.1 ns worst
case. If not used, the HCLK pin must be tied Low or High
and must not be left floating. Figure 1-5 describes the
clock circuit used for the constant load HCLK.
HCLK does not function until the fourth clock cycle each
time the device is powered up to prevent false output
levels due to any possible slow power-on-reset signal and
fast start-up clock circuit. To activate HCLK from the first
cycle, the TRST pin must be reserved in the Designer
software and the pin must be tied to GND on the board.
(See the "TRST, I/O Boundary Scan Reset Pin" section on
page 1-24).
The remaining two clocks (CLKA, CLKB) are global routed
clock networks that can be sourced from external pins or
from internal logic signals (via the CLKINT routed clock
buffer) within the eX device. CLKA and CLKB may be
connected to sequential cells or to combinational logic. If
CLKA or CLKB is sourced from internal logic signals, the
external clock pin cannot be used for any other input
and must be tied Low or High and must not float.
Figure 1-6 describes the CLKA and CLKB circuit used in eX
devices.
Table 1-1 describes the possible connections of the
routed clock networks, CLKA and CLKB.
Unused clock pins must not be left floating and must be
tied to High or Low.

to GND on the board. Each I/O module has an available
pull-up or pull-down resistor of approximately 50 kΩ
that can configure the I/O in a known state during
power-up. Just shortly before VCCA reaches 2.5 V, the
resistors are disabled and the I/Os will be controlled by
user logic.
Performance
The combination of the various architectural features
enables automotive-grade eX devices to operate with
internal clock frequencies at 250 MHz for fast execution
of complex logic functions.
Table 1-2 describes the I/O features of eX devices. For
more information on I/Os, refer to the Actel eX, SX-A,
and RT54SX-S I/Os application note.
Automotive-grade eX devices are the optimal platforms
upon which to integrate in-cabin telematics and
automobile interconnect applications previously only
contained in ASICs or gate arrays.
The automotive eX devices support I/O operation at 2.5 V
and 3.3 V.
The detailed description of the I/O pins in eX automotive
devices can be found in "Pin Description" section on
page 1-24.
eX devices meet the performance goals of gate arrays,
and, at the same time, present significant improvements
in cost and time to market. Using timing-driven placeand-route tools, designers can achieve highly
deterministic device performance.

Output Drive
The Actel FuseLock advantage ensures that unauthorized
users will not be able to read back the contents of an
Actel antifuse FPGA. In addition to the inherent
strengths of the architecture, there is a special Security
Fuse inside the eX device that disables the probing
circuitry and prohibits further programming of the
device. This Fuse cannot be accessed or bypassed without
destroying access to the rest of the device, making both
invasive and more-subtle noninvasive attacks ineffective
against Actel antifuse FPGAs.

Hot Swapping
FuseLock
eX I/Os are configured to be hot-swappable. During
power-up/down (or partial up/down), all I/Os are tristated,
provided VCCA ramps up within a diode drop of VCCI. VCCA
and VCCI do not have to be stable during power-up/down,
and they do not require a specific power-up or powerdown sequence in order to avoid damage to the eX
devices. In addition, all outputs can be programmed to
have a weak resistor pull-up or pull-down for tristate
output at power-up. After the eX device is plugged into
an electrically active system, the device will not degrade
the reliability of or cause damage to the host system. The
device's output pins are driven to a high impedance state
until normal chip operating conditions are reached. Please
see the application note, Actel SX-A and RT54SX-S Devices
in Hot-Swap and Cold-Sparing Applications, which also
applies to eX devices, for more information on hot
swapping.
Figure 1-7 • FuseLock
For more information, refer to Actel's Implementation of
Security in Actel Antifuse FPGAs application note.
I/O Modules
Each I/O on an eX device can be configured as an input, an
output, a tristate output, or a bidirectional pin. I/O cells in
eX devices do not contain embedded latches or flip-flops
and can be inferred directly from HDL code. The device
can easily interface with any other device in the system,
which in turn enables parallel design of system
components and reduces overall design time.
All unused I/Os are configured as tristate outputs by
Actel's Designer software, for maximum flexibility when
designing new boards or migrating existing designs.
However, it is still recommended to tie all unused I/O pins

Power Requirements
Power consumption is extremely low for the automotive-grade eX devices due to the low capacitance of the antifuse
interconnects. The antifuse architecture does not require active circuitry to hold a charge (as do SRAM or EPROM),
making it the lowest-power FPGA architecture available today.
Figure 1-8 through Figure 1-11 on page 1-7 show some sample power characteristics of eX devices.

Boundary Scan Testing (BST)
Flexible Mode
All eX devices are IEEE 1149.1 compliant. eX devices offer
superior diagnostic and testing capabilities by providing
Boundary Scan Testing (BST) and probing capabilities.
These functions are controlled through the special test
pins (TMS, TDI, TCK, TDO and TRST). The functionality of
each pin is defined by two available modes, Dedicated
and Flexible, and is described in Table 1-3. In the
dedicated test mode, TCK, TDI, and TDO are dedicated
pins and cannot be used as regular I/Os. In flexible mode
(default mode), TMS should be set High through a pullup resistor of 10 kΩ. TMS can be pulled Low to initiate
the test sequence.
In Flexible mode, TDI, TCK and TDO may be used as
either user I/Os or as JTAG input pins. The internal
resistors on the TMS and TDI pins are disabled in flexible
JTAG mode, and an external 10 kΩ pull-resistor to VCCI is
required on the TMS pin.

To select the Flexible mode, users need to uncheck the
"Reserve JTAG" box in "Device Selection Wizard" in
Actel Designer software. The functionality of TDI, TCK,
and TDO pins is controlled by the BST TAP controller. The
TAP controller receives two control inputs; TMS and TCK.
Upon power-up, the TAP controller enters the Test-LogicReset state. In this state, TDI, TCK, and TDO function as
user I/Os. The TDI, TCK, and TDO pins are transformed
from user I/Os into BST pins when the TMS pin is Low at
the first rising edge of TCK. The TDI, TCK, and TDO pins
return to user I/Os when TMS is held High for at least five
TCK cycles.
Table 1-4
describes
the
different
configuration
requirements of BST pins and their functionality in
different modes.
Dedicated Test Mode
In Dedicated mode, all JTAG pins are reserved for BST;
designers cannot use them as regular I/Os. An internal
pull-up resistor is automatically enabled on both TMS
and TDI pins, and the TMS pin will function as defined in
the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) specification.
To select Dedicated mode, users need to reserve the JTAG
pins in Actel's Designer software by checking the
"Reserve JTAG" box in "Device Selection Wizard"
(Figure 1-12). JTAG pins comply with LVTTL/TTL I/O
specification regardless of whether they are used as a
user I/O or a JTAG I/O. Refer to the "3.3 V LVTTL Electrical
Specifications" section on page 1-13 for detailed
specifications.

The TRST pin functions as a dedicated Boundary-Scan
Reset pin when the "Reserve JTAG Test Reset" option is

resistor is permanently enabled on the TRST pin in this
mode. It is recommended to connect this pin to GND in
normal operation to keep the JTAG state controller in
the Test-Logic-Reset state. When JTAG is being used, it
can be left floating or be driven High.
When the "Reserve JTAG Test Reset" option is not
selected, this pin will function as a regular I/O. If unused
as an I/O in the design, it will be configured as a tristated
output.

Automotive-grade eX devices provide internal probing
capability that is accessed with the JTAG pins. The Silicon
Explorer II Diagnostic hardware is used to control the
TDI, TCK, TMS, and TDO pins to select the desired nets
for debugging. The user assigns the selected internal
nets in the Silicon Explorer II software to the PRA/PRB
output pins for observation. Probing functionality is
activated when the BST pins are in JTAG mode and the
TRST pin is driven High or left floating. If the TRST pin is
held Low, the TAP controller will remain in the TestLogic-Reset state, so no probing can be performed. The
Silicon Explorer II automatically places the device into
JTAG mode, but the user must drive the TRST pin High or
allow the internal pull-up resistor to pull TRST High.
For more details on programming eX Automotive
devices, please refer to the Programming Antifuse
Devices and the Silicon Sculptor II User's Guides.
Table 1-6 lists the codes returned after executing the

When you select the "Reserve Probe" box, as shown in
Figure 1-12 on page 1-8, the Designer software reserves
the PRA and PRB pins as dedicated outputs for probing.
This "reserve" option is merely a guideline. If the
Designer software requires that the PRA and PRB pins be
user I/Os to achieve successful layout, the tool will use
these pins for user I/Os. If you assign user I/Os to the PRA
and PRB pins and select the "Reserve Probe" option,
Designer Layout will override the option and place user
I/Os on those pins.
Programming
Device programming is supported through Silicon
Sculptor series of programmers. In particular, Silicon
Sculptor II is a compact, robust, single-site and multi-site
device programmer for the PC.
To allow for probing capabilities, the security fuse must
not be programmed. Programming the security fuse will
disable the probe circuitry. Table 1-7 on page 1-10
summarizes the possible device configurations for
probing once the device leaves the "Test-Logic-Reset"
JTAG state.
With standalone software, Silicon Sculptor II allows
concurrent programming of multiple units from the
same PC, ensuring the fastest programming times
possible. Each fuse is subsequently verified by Silicon
Sculptor II to insure correct programming. In addition,
integrity tests ensure that no extra fuses are
programmed. Silicon Sculptor II also provides extensive
hardware self-testing capability.

eX Automotive Family FPGAs
Silicon Explorer II Probe
The Silicon Explorer II tool uses the boundary scan ports
(TDI, TCK, TMS and TDO) to select the desired nets for
verification. The selected internal nets are assigned to the
PRA/PRB pins for observation. Figure 1-13 illustrates the
interconnection between Silicon Explorer II and the
automotive-grade eX device to perform in-circuit
verification.
Silicon Explorer II is an integrated hardware and
software solution that, in conjunction with Actel
Designer software tools, allows users to examine any of
the internal nets of the device while it is operating in a
prototype or a production system. The user can probe
into an eX device via the PRA and PRB pins without
changing the placement and routing of the design and
without using any additional resources. Silicon
Explorer II's noninvasive method does not alter timing or
loading effects, thus shortening the debug cycle.
Silicon Explorer II does not require relayout or additional
MUXes to bring signals out to an external pin, which is
necessary when using programmable logic devices from
other suppliers.
Silicon Explorer II samples data at 100 MHz
(asynchronous) or 66 MHz (synchronous). Silicon
Explorer II attaches to a PC's standard COM port, turning
the PC into a fully functional 18-channel logic analyzer.
Silicon Explorer II allows designers to complete the
design verification process at their desks and reduces
verification time from several hours per cycle to a few
seconds.
Design Considerations
The TDI, TCK, TDO, PRA, and PRB pins should not be used
as input or bidirectional ports. Since these pins are active
during probing, critical signals input through these pins
are not available while probing. In addition, the Security
Fuse should not be programmed because doing so
disables the probe circuitry. It is recommended to use a
70Ω series termination resistor on every probe connector
(TDI, TCK, TMS, TDO, PRA, PRB). The 70 Ω series
termination is used to prevent data transmission
corruption during probing and reading back the
checksum.

Notes:
1. If TRST pin is not reserved, the device behaves according to TRST = High in the table.
2. Avoid using the TDI, TCK, TDO, PRA, and PRB pins as input or bidirectional ports. Since these pins are active during probing, input
signals will not pass through these pins and may cause contention.
3. If no user signal is assigned to these pins, they will behave as unused I/Os in this mode. Unused pins are automatically tristated by
Actel’s Designer software.

Input: 3.3 V LVTTL I/Os are 5-V-input tolerant only if the non-PCI mode is used (no clamp diode).
Output: To configure an Actel eX device to drive 5 V with VCCI = 3.3 V, users can utilize an Open Drain configuration of
the I/O cell with an array inverter cell and an external pull-up resistor to 5 V. The recommended configuration is
illustrated in Figure 1-14. The I/O configuration must be set to LVTTL to disable the PCI clamp diode. For the
recommended resistor value in a specific application, please contact Actel Technical Support. For more details, refer to

Power Dissipation
Power consumption for eX devices can be divided into
two components: static and dynamic.
Static Power Component
The power due to standby current is typically a small
component of the overall power. Typical standby current
for eX devices is listed in Table 1-10 on page 1-12. For
example, the typical static power for eX128 at 3.3 V VCCI
is:
Equivalent capacitance is calculated by measuring ICCA at
a specified frequency and voltage for each circuit
component of interest. Measurements have been made
over a range of frequencies at a fixed value of VCCA.
Equivalent capacitance is frequency-independent, so the
results can be used over a wide range of operating
conditions. Equivalent capacitance values are shown
below.
CEQ Values for eX Devices
ICC * VCCA = 795 µA x 2.5 V = 1.99 mW
Dynamic Power Component
Power dissipation in CMOS devices is usually dominated
by the dynamic power dissipation. This component is
frequency-dependent and a function of the logic and the
external I/O. Dynamic power dissipation results from
charging internal chip capacitance. An additional
component of the dynamic power dissipation is the
totem pole current in the CMOS transistor pairs. The net
effect can be associated with an equivalent capacitance
that can be combined with frequency and voltage to
represent dynamic power dissipation.

Junction Temperature
The estimation of the dynamic power dissipation is a
piece-wise linear summation of the power dissipation of
each component.
The temperature variable in the Designer software refers
to the junction temperature, not the ambient
temperature. This is an important distinction because the
heat generated from dynamic power consumption is
usually hotter than the ambient temperature. EQ 1-1,
shown below, can be used to calculate junction
temperature. Please refer to Table 1-9 on page 1-12 for
the recommended operating conditions.

Timing Characteristics
Long Tracks
Timing characteristics for eX devices fall into three
categories: family-dependent, device-dependent, and
design-dependent. The input and output buffer
characteristics are common to all eX family members.
Internal routing delays are device-dependent. Design
dependency means actual delays are not determined
until after placement and routing of the user’s design are
complete. Delay values may then be determined by using
the Timer tool in the Designer software or performing
simulation with post-layout delays.
Some nets in the design use long tracks. Long tracks are
special routing resources that span multiple rows,
columns, or modules. Long tracks employ three to five
antifuse connections. This increases capacitance and
resistance, resulting in longer net delays for macros
connected to long tracks. Typically, no more than six
percent of nets in a fully utilized device require long
tracks. Long tracks contribute approximately 4 ns to
8.4 ns delay. This additional delay is represented
statistically in higher fanout routing delays.

Critical Nets and Typical Nets
Propagation delays are expressed only for typical nets,
which are used for initial design performance evaluation.
Critical net delays can then be applied to the most timing
critical paths. Critical nets are determined by net
property assignment prior to placement and routing. Up
to six percent of the nets in a design may be designated
as critical.
eX devices are manufactured with a CMOS process.
Therefore, device performance varies according to
temperature, voltage, and process changes. Minimum
timing parameters reflect maximum operating voltage,
minimum operating temperature, and best-case
processing. Maximum timing parameters reflect
minimum operating voltage, maximum operating
temperature, and worst-case processing.

Pin Description
CLKA/B
Routed Clock A and B
TDI, I/O
Test Data Input
These pins are clock inputs for clock distribution
networks. Input levels are compatible with LVTTL and
LVCMOS specifications. The clock input is buffered prior
to clocking the R-cells. If not used, this pin must be set
Low or High on the board. It must not be left floating.
Serial input for boundary scan testing and diagnostic
probe. In flexible mode, TDI is active when the TMS pin is
set Low (refer to Table 1-3 on page 1-8). This pin
functions as an I/O when the boundary scan state
machine reaches the “logic reset” state.
GND
TDO, I/O
Ground
Low supply voltage.
HCLK
Dedicated (Hardwired)
Array Clock
This pin is the clock input for sequential modules. Input
levels are compatible with LVTTL and LVCMOS
specifications. This input is directly wired to each R-cell and
offers clock speeds independent of the number of R-cells
being driven. If not used, this pin must be set Low or High
on the board. It must not be left floating.
I/O
Input/Output
The I/O pin functions as an input, output, tristate, or
bidirectional buffer. Input and output levels are
compatible with LVTTL and LVCMOS specifications.
Unused I/O pins are automatically tristated by the
Designer software. It is recommended to tie unused I/Os
to Low on the board. This also applies to dual-purpose
pins when configured as I/Os.
NC
No Connection
This pin is not connected to circuitry within the device.
These pins can be driven to any voltage or can be left
floating with no effect on the operation of the device.
PRA/PRB, I/O
Probe A/B
The Probe pin is used to output data from any userdefined design node within the device. This diagnostic
pin can be used independently or in conjunction with the
other probe pin to allow real-time diagnostic output of
any signal path within the device. The Probe pin can be
employed as a user-defined I/O when verification has
been completed. The pin’s probe capabilities can be
permanently disabled to protect programmed design
confidentiality.
TCK, I/O
Serial output for boundary scan testing. In flexible mode,
TDO is active when the TMS pin is set Low (refer to
Table 1-3 on page 1-8). This pin functions as an I/O when
the boundary scan state machine reaches the "logic
reset" state. When Silicon Explorer is being used, TDO
will act as an output when the "checksum" command is
run. It will return to a user I/O when "checksum" is
complete.
TMS
Test Mode Select
The TMS pin controls the use of the IEEE 1149.1
boundary scan pins (TCK, TDI, TDO, TRST). In flexible
mode, when the TMS pin is set Low, the TCK, TDI, and
TDO pins are boundary scan pins (refer to Table 1-3 on
page 1-8). Once the boundary scan pins are in test mode,
they will remain in that mode until the internal
boundary scan state machine reaches the “logic reset”
state. At this point, the boundary scan pins will be
released and will function as regular I/O pins. The “logic
reset” state is reached five TCK cycles after the TMS pin is
set High. In dedicated test mode, TMS functions as
specified in the IEEE 1149.1 specifications.
TRST, I/O
Boundary Scan Reset Pin
Once it is configured as the JTAG Reset pin, the TRST pin
functions as an active-low input to asynchronously
initialize or reset the boundary scan circuit. The TRST pin
is equipped with an internal pull-up resistor. This pin
functions as an I/O when the “Reserve JTAG Reset Pin” is
not selected in the Designer software.
VCCI
Supply Voltage
Supply voltage for I/Os.
VCCA
Supply Voltage
Supply voltage for Array.
Test Clock
Test clock input for diagnostic probe and device
programming. In flexible mode, TCK becomes active
when the TMS pin is set Low (refer to Table 1-3 on
page 1-8). This pin functions as an I/O when the
boundary scan state machine reaches the “logic reset”
state.
