让没有晶振的生活成为可能——UFM.[CPLD]

j介

传闻说CPLD有个缺陷，就是内部没有存储模块，所以不能对RAM，ROM等操作，但其实，CPLD内部有8192bits的UFM—Usr Flash Memory，很容易就可以实现RAM、ROM 的功能，能满足一时的需要。

如上图所示，MAX II 芯片Chip Planner：

左下角这块黑色区域是用户不可用资源区，而在这片不可用区域里有一块绿色的方块是可用的。这块不可用的黑色区域叫做CFM block(配置Flash存储区)，而那个绿色方块叫做UFM（用户可用的Flash存储区）。

二、 特性（官方描述）

Each UFM array is organized as two separate sectors with 4,096 bits per sector. Each sector can be erased independently MAX II devices feature a single UFM block, which can be used like a serial EEPROM for storing non-volatile information up to 8,192 bits. The UFM block connects to the logic array through the MultiTrack interconnect,allowing any LE to interface to the UFM block. Figure 2–15 shows the UFM block and interface signals. The logic array is used to create customer interface or protocol logic to interface the UFM block data outside of the device. The UFM block offers the following features:

• Non-volatile storage up to 16-bit wide and 8,192 total bits
• Two sectors for partitioned sector erase
• Built-in internal oscillator that optionally drives logic array
• Program, erase, and busy signals
• Auto-increment addressing
• Serial interface to logic array with programmable interface
