Why has a LUT6 based SRL only 32 entries but not 64?

Xilinx FPGAs are capable of using LUTs as memory elements. The can be used as ROM, RAM and Shift Register (SRL). New Xilinx devices use 6-input LUTs, which gives 64x1 bit for RAMs/ROMs, but only 32 bit for SRLs. Why are SRLs restricted to 2^5…

Package delay to Mils conversion

I was able to calculate the package delay values in pico seconds by using the IBIS models from the xilinx site. For example: For a Virtex-5 FPGA IBIS model, the package ff323_5vlx20t_ibis.pkg is provided. Let us choose the pin B9. From Capacitance…

Timing complexity for correlation implementation on FPGA

Let's say we have a database of five thousand 512 point discrete signals. Each database entry is unique in itself. The important point to note about the signals in the database is that out of the 512 points, more than half of the points are zero for…
