Digital Consumer Roadshow 2004: 7400 Logic Replacement

1. Digital Consumer Roadshow 2004:7400 Logic Replacement

2. The 7400 Series – A Brief History - • 1960s space program drove development of 7400 series • Consumed all available devices for internal flight computer • $1000 / device (1960 dollars) • 10:1 integration improvement over discrete transistors • 1963 Minuteman missile forced 7400 into mass production • Drove pricing down to $25 / circuit (1963 dollars)

3. Success Drives Proliferation • New families introduced based on • Higher performance • Lower power • New features • New signaling threshold 2003 1960 • Spawned over 32 unique families!

4. Families Packages Reliability options Speed grades Features Functions Too Much of a Good Thing? An availability nightmare! >> 500K unique devices

5. Different Families Don’t all Speak the Same Language

6. Sometimes Things Get Lost or Added in the Translation* Different families aren’t always on speaking terms with one another

7. The Ultimate Solution For 7400 Logic Replacement Lowest Power 12mW* ~20uA typical stand-by Low Cost 0.18µ = small die size Lowest cost packaging High Performance 3.5ns tPD, fmax 303Mhz Improved features Storage Systems, Routers Handheld, Portable Equipment Set-Top Box, Cell phone

8. Eliminate Availability & Obsolescence Issues • Over >> 500,000 different 7400 devices addressed in one package! • Nothing needs to get “lost or added in the translation” • AND Additional features for free • EMI management, system clocking, reprogrammability, design security….

20. CoolRunner-II Changes the Equation • Lower cost, higher integration than 7400 TTL • Additional features that manage real world issues • EMI • System clocking • Design security • Obsolescence / availability • Reduced test costs • External interfacing components eliminated • In field bug fixes, upgrades, changes

21. Managing EMI CoolRunner-II Benefits • Typically considered “black magic” • Significant TTM impact to achieve compliance • Board spins, test time etc. • CoolRunner-II features and integration benefits address EMI • Programmable drive strength, I/O signaling, programmable ground, programmable slew rate, PLLs

22. CoolRunner-IIDesign Security • 7400 series has no inherent means to thwart reverse engineering • Remove device marking? • CoolRunner-II • Programmable bit stream security • Prevents both over-writing or readback • Four levels of on-chip-security • Tampering causes device to automatically lock down

23. Reduced Test Costs • CPLD integration reduces “bed of nails” test time • Reduced points to interrogate • Reduced device count significantly increases FITs • Mis-aligned / wrong part placement • Soldering failure • CoolRunner-II JTAG test port – “free” allows for PCB testing • Inherent programmability provides 100% test coverage

24. CoolRunner-IISimplified Interfacing • Additional components for interfacing disparate 7400 logic families • Pull up resistors etc. • Additional components typically required to communicate with interface logic • Bus transceivers, high performance memory interfaces, slow slew rate signaling • CoolRunner-II programmable I/O eliminates need for external interface devices • Programmable HSTL, SSTL, Schmitt Trigger etc. • Considerable board area and cost savings!

25. The Ultimate Advantage- Reprogrammability - • CoolRunner-II CPLDs can be programmed at any phase of product life-cycle • Prototyping, field trials, and in market
