578 - How do I use the ispMach4000 global clocks?
Global clock signals are low skew signals which save macrocells and routing resources when taken advantage of. Use your clocks like normal in your design. Note these cannot be gated clocks. Next using the Constraint Editor connect them to the global clock pins and that's it.

Description: Two 5V support options, “PCI_5V” and “LVTTL_5V” were added to the supporting I/O type constraint list for the ispMACH™ 4000 device families. Since the LVTTL I/O type's maximum VIH is 3.6V, you must use the LVTTL_5V I/O type to support 5V ...

When calculating the Fmax , the following two cases are considered 1. Internal feedback 2. External feedback When the signal is fed back through the GRP (global routing pool) without going through an IO pad, it is internal feedback whereas when it is ...

In an LatticeECP3 family of devices, only 7 out of 8 SECONDARY clocks are available. One of the SECONDARY clocks does not go to the clock input of registers in the fabric. It only goes to clock enable or set/reset pins. So, the SECONDARY clocks are ...

For the ispMACH 4000V/B/C/Z devices, the bus-keeper option is a global constraint for all I/Os. For ispMACH4000 ZE devices, it is available on per-pin basis. During power up, the I/Os are at default state. After the device enters user mode, the I/Os ...

For the Lattice MachXO device, all the registers in the device will be reset upon power-up of the device, provided the power-up sequence is clean. This will happen without any additional effort on the part of the user. The software will evaluate the ...
