• I/O registers, ensuring maximum clock performance and highest possible sample rates with

no area cost

• OPMODE multiplexers

A number of software tools support the DSP48 slice. The Xilinx ISE software supports DSP48

slice instantiations. The Architecture Wizard is a GUI for creating instantiation VHDL and/or Verilog

code. It also helps generate code for designs using a single DSP48 slice (i.e., Multiplier, Adder,

Multiply-Accumulate or MAC, and Dynamic Control modes). Using the Architecture Wizard, CORE

Generator™ tool, or System Generator, a designer can quickly generate math or other functions using

Virtex-4 DSP48 slices.

Number of DSP48 Slices Per Virtex-4 Device

Table 2-1 shows the number of DSP48 slices for each device in the Virtex-4 families. The Virtex-4 SX

family offers the highest ratio of DSP48 slices to logic, making it ideal for math-intensive

applications.

DSP48 Slice Attributes

The synthesis attributes for the DSP48 slice are described in detail throughout this section. With the

exception of the B_INPUT and LEGACY_MODE attributes, all other attributes call out pipeline

registers in the control and datapaths. The value of the attribute sets the number of pipeline registers.

The attribute settings are as follows:

• The AREG and BREG attributes can take a value of 0, 1, or 2. The values define the number

of pipeline registers in the A and B input paths. See the “A, B, C, and P Port Logic” section

for more information.

• The CREG, MREG, and PREG attributes can take a value of 0 or 1. The value defines the

number of pipeline registers at the output of the multiplier (MREG) (shown in Figure 2-11)

and at the output of the adder (PREG) (shown in Figure 2-9). The CREG attribute is used to

select the pipeline register at the 'C' input (shown in Figure 2-8).

• The CARRYINREG, CARRYINSELREG, OPMODEREG, and SUBTRACTREG attributes

take a value of 0 if there is no pipelining register on these paths, and take a value of 1 if there

is one pipeline register in their path. The CARRYINSELREG, OPMODEREG, and

SUBTRACTREG paths are shown in Figure 2-10, and the CARRYINREG path is shown in

Figure 2-12.

• The B_INPUT attribute defines whether the input to the B port is routed from the parallel

input (attribute: DIRECT) or the cascaded input from the previous slice (attribute:

CASCADE).

• The LEGACY_MODE attribute serves two purposes. The first purpose is similar in nature to

the MREG attribute. It defines whether or not the multiplier is "flow through" in nature (i.e.,

LEGACY_MODE value equal to MULT18x18) or contains a single pipeline register in the

middle of the multiplier (i.e., LEGACY_MODE value equal to MULT18x18S is the same as

MREG value equal to one). While this is redundant to the MREG attribute, it was deemed

useful for customers used to the Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro multipliers since the DSP48 setup

and hold timing most closely matches those of the Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro MULT18x18S

when the MREG is used. Any disagreement between the MREG attribute and

LEGACY_MODE attribute settings are flagged as a software Design Rule Check (DRC) error.

The second purpose for the attribute is to convey to the timing tools whether the A and B port

through the combinatorial multiplier path (slower timing) or faster X multiplexer bypass

path for A:B should be used in the timing calculations. Since the OPMODE can change

dynamically, the timing tools cannot determine this without an attribute.

To summarize the timing tools behavior:

♦ If (attribute: NONE), then timing analysis/simulation bypasses the multiplier for the

highest performance. The lowest power dissipation is achieved by setting MREG to one

while CEM input is grounded.

♦ If (attribute: MULT18x18), then timing analysis/simulation uses the combinatorial path

through the multiplier. In this case, MREG must be set to zero or a DRC error occurs.

♦ If (attribute: MULT18x18S), then timing analysis/simulation uses a pipelined multiplier.

In this case MREG must be set to one or a DRC error occurs.
