DataGATE signal blocking
The CoolRunner-II architecture, with its all-digital core, requires far less power than the older CPLD technologies that use power-hungry analog sense amplifiers.
- Permits input signal blocking, stops input switching, and reduces power.
- Power management (duty cycle, clock input and input pin)
- Block input pins during insertion with hot plugging
- Block sections of logic and snapshot signals with latches through debugging
- Improve security by blocking access for various on stored code inside the device
- Employ the features of FZP technology to further advanced CoolRunner-II CPLDs as the low power standard
- DataGATE enables CoolRunner-II to be a small fraction of the system power consumption -- no other CPLD can do this!
