ASMBL Architecture
Spartan-3/3E can create substantial system savings by replacing other standard system
functions.
With more than 100 innovations, the Virtex-4 family represents a new milestone in the
evolution of FPGA technology. The idea behind the family was to offer higher
performance, higher logic density, lower power, lower cost and more advanced
capabilities over previous families. To offer one or two of these items is relatively easy – the
challenge was to offer all at the same time. We did this through a combination of
innovative process and circuit design, process development, the ASMBL architectural
approach and the use of advanced embedded functions.
One of the most remarkable developments embodied in the new Virtex-4 FPGA family is
the Advanced Silicon Modular Block (ASMBL) columnar architecture, which represents a
fundamentally new way of constructing the FPGA floor plan and its interconnect to the
package. First of all, ASMBL enables IO pins, clock pins and power and ground pins to be
located anywhere on the silicon chip, not just along the periphery as with previous FPGA
architectures. This in turn allows power and ground pins to be brought directly into the
centre of the silicon die, thereby significantly reducing on-chip IR drops that can occur
with the largest FPGAs running at the highest frequencies
