PZ3128A/PZ3128D
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The PZ3128A/PZ3128D CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic
Device) is a member of the Fast Zero Power (FZP ) family of
CPLDs from Philips Semiconductors. These devices combine high
speed and zero power in a 128 macrocell CPLD. With the FZP
design technique, the PZ3128A/PZ3128D offers true pin-to-pin
speeds of 7.5ns, while simultaneously delivering power that is less
than 100µA at standby without the need for ‘turbo bits’ or other
power down schemes. By replacing conventional sense amplifier
methods for implementing product terms (a technique that has been
used in PLDs since the bipolar era) with a cascaded chain of pure
CMOS gates, the dynamic power is also substantially lower than
any competing CPLD – 70% lower at 50MHz. These devices are the
first TotalCMOS PLDs, as they use both a CMOS process
technology and the patented full CMOS FZP design technique.
• Industry’s first TotalCMOS PLD – both CMOS design and
process technologies
• Fast Zero Power (FZP ) design technique provides ultra-low
power and very high speed
• 3 Volt, In-System Programmable (ISP) using a JTAG interface
– On-chip supervoltage generation
– ISP commands include: Enable, Erase, Program, Verify
– Supported by multiple ISP programming platforms
– 4 pin JTAG interface (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO)
– JTAG commands include: Bypass, Idcode
• High speed pin-to-pin delays of 7.5ns
• Ultra-low static power of less than 100µA
• Dynamic power that is 70% lower at 50MHz than competing
The Philips FZP CPLDs introduce the new patented XPLA
(eXtended Programmable Logic Array) architecture. The XPLA
architecture combines the best features of both PLA and PAL type
structures to deliver high speed and flexible logic allocation that
results in superior ability to make design changes with fixed pinouts.
The XPLA structure in each logic block provides a fast 7.5ns
PAL path with 5 dedicated product terms per output. This PAL
path is joined by an additional PLA structure that deploys a pool of
32 product terms to a fully programmable OR array that can allocate
the PLA product terms to any output in the logic block. This
combination allows logic to be allocated efficiently throughout the
logic block and supports as many as 37 product terms on an output.
The speed with which logic is allocated from the PLA array to an
output is only 1.5ns, regardless of the number of PLA product terms
devices
• 5V tolerant I/Os to support mixed voltage systems
• 100% routable with 100% utilization while all pins and all
macrocells are fixed
• Deterministic timing model that is extremely simple to use
• Up to 20 clocks available
• Support for complex asynchronous clocking
• Innovative XPLA architecture combines high speed with
extreme flexibility
• 1000 erase/program cycles guaranteed
• 20 years data retention guaranteed
• Logic expandable to 37 product terms
used, which results in worst case t ’s of only 9ns from any pin to
PD
any other pin. In addition, logic that is common to multiple outputs
can be placed on a single PLA product term and shared across
multiple outputs via the OR array, effectively increasing design
density.

• Advanced 0.35µ E CMOS process
• Security bit prevents unauthorized access
• Design entry and verification using industry standard and Philips
CAE tools
The PZ3128A/PZ3128D CPLDs are supported by industry standard
CAE tools (Cadence, Exemplar Logic, Mentor, OrCAD, Synopsys,
Synario, Viewlogic, MINC), using text (Abel, VHDL, Verilog) and/or
schematic entry. Design verification uses industry standard
simulators for functional and timing simulation. Development is
supported on personal computer, Sparc, and HP platforms. Device
fitting uses either MINC or Philips Semiconductors-developed tools.
• Reprogrammable using industry standard device programmers
• Innovative Control Term structure provides either sum terms or
product terms in each logic block for:
– Programmable 3-State buffer
– Asynchronous macrocell register preset/reset
– up to 2 asynchronous clocks
The PZ3128A/PZ3128D CPLD is electrically reprogrammable using
industry standard device programmers from vendors such as Data
I/O, BP Microsystems, SMS, and others. The PZ3128A/PZ3128D
also includes an industry-standard, IEEE 1149.1, JTAG interface
through which In-System Programming (ISP) and reprogramming of
the device are supported.
• Programmable global 3-State pin facilitates ‘bed of nails’ testing
without using logic resources
• Available in TQFP and LQFP packages
• Available in both Commercial and Industrial grades
• Industrial grade operates from 2.7 to 3.6 Volts
