ORCA Series 2 FPGAs
two operands are input into A[3:0] and B[3:0]. The four
result bits, one per QLUT, are F[3:0] (see Figure 9).
The ripple output from QLUT3 can be routed to dedi-
cated carry-out circuitry into any of four adjacent PLCs,
or it can be placed on the O4 PFU output, or both. This
allows the PLCs to be cascaded in the ripple mode so
that nibble-wide ripple functions can be expanded eas-
ily to any length.

CIN
The LUT can be used to implement any function of six-
input variables. As shown in Figure 8, five input signals
(A[4:0]) are routed into both the A[4:0] and B[4:0] ports,
and the C0 port is used for the sixth input. The output
port is F1.

Figure 9. Ripple Mode
The ripple mode can be used in one of four submodes.
The first of these is adder/subtractor mode. In this
mode, each QLUT generates two separate outputs.
One of the two outputs selects whether the carry-in is
to be propagated to the carry-out of the current QLUT
or if the carry-out needs to be generated. The result of
this selection is placed on the carry-out signal, which is
connected to the next QLUT or the COUT signal, if it is
the last QLUT (QLUT3).
Ripple Mode
The LUT can do nibble-wide ripple functions with high-
speed carry logic. Each QLUT has a dedicated carry-
out net to route the carry to/from the adjacent QLUT.
Using the internal carry circuits, fast arithmetic and
counter functions can be implemented in one PFU.
Similarly, each PFU has carry-in (CIN) and carry-out
(COUT) ports for fast-carry routing between adjacent
PFUs.
The other QLUT output creates the result bit for each
QLUT that is connected to F[3:0]. If an adder/subtractor
is needed, the control signal to select addition or sub-
traction is input on A4. The result bit is created in one-
half of the QLUT from a single bit from each input bus,
along with the ripple input bit. These inputs are also
used to create the programmable propagate.
The ripple mode is generally used in operations on two
4-bit buses. Each QLUT has two operands and a ripple
(generally carry) input, and provides a result and ripple
(generally carry) output. A single bit is rippled from the
previous QLUT and is used as input into the current
QLUT. For QLUT0, the ripple input is from the PFU CIN
port. The CIN data can come from either the fast-carry
routing or the PFU input B4, or it can be tied to logic 1
or logic 0.
The resulting output and ripple output are calculated by
using generate/propagate circuitry. In ripple mode, the
