9.1.2.4 Port B Macrocell Structure

Figure 16 shows the PB Macrocell block, which consists of 8 identical macrocells. Each

macrocell output can be connected to its own I/O pin on Port B. The two inputs, CLKIN and

MACRO-RST, are used as clock and clear inputs to all the macrocells. The CLKIN comes

directly from the CLKIN input pin. The MACRO-RST is the same as the Reset input pin

except it is user configurable.

The circuit of a PB Macrocell is shown in Figure 17. There are 10 product terms from the

GPLD’s AND ARRAY as inputs to the macrocell. Users can select the polarity of the output,

and configure the macrocell to operate as:

t Registered Output

Select output from D flip flop.

t Combinatorial Output

Select output from OR gate.

t GPLD Input

Use Port B pin as dedicated input.

t GPLD Output

Use Port B pin as dedicated output.

t GPLD I/O

Use Port B pin as bidirectional pin.

t Macrocell Feedback

from the combinatorial output, to possibly expand the number of product terms

available to another macrocell.

In case of "Buried Feedback", where the output of the macrocell is not

connected to a Port B pin, Port B can be configured to perform other user

defined I/O functions.

Each D flip flop in the macrocells has its own dedicated asynchronous clear, preset and

clock input. The signals are defined as follow:

t PRESET

Active only if defined by a product term (PBx.PR)

t CLEAR

Two selectable inputs: Reset input or user defined product term (PBx .RE)

t CLK

Two selectable inputs – CLKIN input or user defined product term (PBx.CLK).

The macrocell is operated in Synchronous Mode if the clock input is

CLKIN, and is in Asynchronous Mode if the clock is a product-term clock

defined by the user.
