Architecture Overview
The pASIC 3 family of devices have a range of 4,000 to 60,000 usable PLD gates. pASIC 3 FPGAs are fabricated on a 0.35 µm four-layer metal process using QuickLogic’s“ patented ViaLink“ technology to provide a unique combination of high performance, high density, low cost, and extreme ease-of-use.

Up to Eight Low-Skew Distributed
Networks
• Two array clock/control networks are available to
the logic cell flip-flop; clock, set, and reset inputs
— each can be driven by an input-only pin
• Up to six global clock/control networks are available to the logic cell; F1, clock, set, and reset
inputs and the data input, I/O register clock, reset, and enable inputs as well as the output enable control — each can be driven by an input only pin, I/O pin, any logic cell output, or I/O cell feedback
