Architecture
- Main article: field-programmable object array
Arrix is a family of field-programmable object array (FPOA). The chips can operate, depending on model, from 400 MHz to 1 GHz. At the time their performance exceeded similar budget FPGAs. Arrix are a grid of 400 logic objects. Additionally the chips also feature:
- 2x Bi-directional 500MHz DDR 16-bit LVDS ports
- 96x GPIO (synchronously or asynchronously at up to 100 MHz)
- 12x banks of 500MHz internal SRAM memory banks
- 2x 266 MHz 36-bit DDR (72-bits per cycle) RLDRAM II controllers
The chips are arranged as a grid of 400 logic objects made up of:
- 256x ALU
- 16 bit data, 5 bits control, 32 operations
- 16-bit add/sub/shift/rotate/AND/OR/XOR
- circuitry for cascading status bits for making larger word
- 80x RFs
- 128 Byte, dualport RAM or FIFO
- 64x MACx
- 16x16 single clock cycle multiplier
- 32 bit intermediate result, signed or unsigned
- 40 bit accumulator, 256 accumulations before overflow
- 12x Internal RAM banks
- 768 x 76 bits
