Patent number: 5836007Abstract: A memory system having split logical bit lines and interleaved pre-charge/access cycles is provided. A bit line access circuit supports multiple conductors per logical bit line and pre-charges the conductors before access cycles thereto. The access cycles for one logical bit line are performed simultaneous with the pre-charge cycles for another logical bit line by the access circuit. Virtual reading is provided for eliminated memory cells. The memory system can be used in a programmable gate array having memory cells distributed throughout for programming respective programmable resources.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1995Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kim P.

Patent number: 5732246Abstract: A given interconnect of a programmable gate array includes a programmable repeater circuit that enables selective isolation and testing of a select block of configured circuitry within the programmable gate array. The programmable repeater circuit includes an input node coupled to a first portion of the given interconnect and an output node coupled to a second portion of the given interconnect. A selective buffer circuit selectively outputs a buffered output signal to the output node that is related to a logic state at the input node. A signal storage circuit is also connected to the input node for selectively storing the logic state received from the input node. In a further embodiment, the signal storage circuit comprises an LSSD register. A primary latch of the LSSD register receives data selectively either from the input node, in accordance with a first clock signal, or alternatively from a secondary serial input node, in accordance with a second clock signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: March 24, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scott Whitney Gould, Frank Ray Keyser, III, Wendell Ray Larsen, Brian Allen Worth

Patent number: 5692147Abstract: A field programmable gate array has a plurality of programmable resources addressable per respective x and y dimensions of an x,y two dimensional array. A memory device provides a plurality of memory units that store configuration data for configuring associated programmable resources of the field programmable gate array. A controller addresses the memory device with an N-bit address for retrieving given configuration data. An address decoder and sequencer divides the N-bit address into first, second, and third portions and employs the first and third portions interchangeably, in accordance with the second portion, for addressing respective x and y dimensions of the plurality of programmable resources for selecting an associated programmable resource to be configured in accordance with the retrieved configuration data.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Wendell Ray Larsen, Frank Ray Keyser, Brian A.
