CoolRunner-II CPLD Architecture Features
The XC2C384-7TQG144C leverages the advanced CoolRunner-II architecture that combines high performance with industry-leading low power consumption.
Advanced Interconnect Matrix (AIM)
The device features eight Function Blocks interconnected by a low-power Advanced Interconnect Matrix. The AIM feeds 40 true and complement inputs to each Function Block, enabling efficient signal routing with minimal power consumption.
Function Block Configuration
Each Function Block in the XC2C384-7TQG144C contains:
- 40 × 56 P-term PLA structure
- 16 macrocells with configurable operation modes
- Combinational and registered output options
- Multiple clock enable controls
XC2C384-7TQG144C Power Management Features
CoolCLOCK Technology
The CoolCLOCK feature enables high-performance synchronous operation using lower-frequency clocking. By combining clock division (divide by 2) with DualEDGE flip-flops, designers can achieve significant power reduction without sacrificing system performance.
DataGATE Functionality
DataGATE allows selective disabling of CPLD inputs during specific operational periods. This unique power-saving feature reduces signal switching when inputs are not required, dramatically lowering dynamic power consumption in battery-operated applications.
