ABSTRACT:
A programmable logic device includes a plurality of logic cells in which logic functions are performed, a plurality of input lines for supplying signals to be processed by the logic cells, a plurality of output lines for receiving signals that have been processed by the logic cells, and a plurality of repeater circuits combining bipolar and CMOS transistor technologies for transferring data from one point in the PLD to another point. Unidirectional repeater circuits transfer data from a first data bus in the PLD to a second data bus in the PLD. Bidirectional repeater circuits maintain signal integrity by transferring data along the length of a single PLD data bus. The bipolar technology in the repeater circuits provides superior speed in data transfer, while the CMOS technology limits power consumption of the repeater circuits.
