WP273 - Performance + Time = Memory (Cost Saving with 3-D Design)(PDF, ver 1.0, 488 KB )

Operating logic at a higher rate than the processing rate allows operations to be achieved sequentially. As with a processor, logic is timeshared over multiple clock cycles. Memory holds values not being used on a given clock cycle. The FPGA can be considered to be a three-dimensional volume to be filled. "Performance + Time = Memory" is a strange formula, but when understood, it can often result in significantly lower cost implementations with Xilinx devices.

Spartan-3A FPGA Application Notes
XAPP485 - 1:7 Deserialization in Spartan-3E/3A FPGAs at Speeds Up to 666 Mbps(PDF, ver 1.3, 774 KB )

This application note targets Spartan®-3E/3A devices in applications that require 4-bit or 5-bit receive data bus widths and operate at rates up to 666 Mbps per line with a clock at 1/7th the bit rate. This type of interface is commonly used in flat panel displays and automotive applications.

XAPP459 - Eliminating I/O Coupling Effects when Interfacing Large-Swing Single-Ended Signals to User I/O Pins on Spartan-3 Families(PDF, ver 1.2, 510 KB )

This application note describes solutions to receive large-swing signals by design. In one solution (and in the general case of severe positive and/or negative overshoot), parasitic leakage current between User I/Os in differential pin pairs may occur, even though the User I/O pins are configured with single-ended I/O standards. This application note addresses parasitic leakage current behavior.

XAPP486 - 7:1 Serialization in Spartan-3E/3A FPGAs at Speeds Up to 666 Mbps(PDF, ver 1.1, 949 KB )

This application note targets Spartan™-3E devices in applications that require 4-bit or 5-bit transmit data bus widths and operate at rates up to 666 Mbps per line with a forwarded clock at 1/7th the bit rate. This type of interface is commonly used in flat panel displays and automotive applications.

XAPP291 - Self-Addressing FIFO(PDF, ver 1.3, 101 KB )

The block memories in the Virtex®-II architecture are capable of supporting data bus widths of up to 36-bits. A self-addressing FIFO reference design uses these block memories to store both data and address information in a single memory location. This application note describes FIFO designs where no external counters are required. Only flag and status information logic is used. The resulting FIFOs are not fast (around 150 MHz). Their advantage is in using only one clock load. In addition, the status mechanism is very simple making FIFOs are more suitable for data throttling in continuous data systems instead of the full or empty detection required in frame-based data systems.
