ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
The QuickRAM family of ESPs (Embedded Standard Products) offers FPGA logic in combination with Dual Port SRAM modules. The QL4036 is a 36,000 usable PLD gate member of the QuickRAM family of ESPs. QuickRAM ESPs are fabricated on a 0.35mm four-layer metal process using QuickLogic’s patented ViaLinkTM technology to provide a unique combination of high performance, high density, low cost, and extreme ease-of-use.
The QL4036 contains 672 logic cells and 14 dual port RAM modules(see Figure 1). Each RAM module has 1,152 RAM bits, for a total of 16,128 bits. RAM Modules are Dual Port (one read port, one write port) and can be configured into one of four modes: 64(deep) x18 (wide), 128x9, 256x4, or 512x2 (see Figure 2). With a maximum of 204 I/Os, the QL4036 is available in 144-pin TQFP, 208-pin PQFP and 256-pin PBGA packages.
