Architecture
•
Transfers switch settings to processor/board configuration signals.
•
Loads configuration data from RAM (registers) or EEPROM to override configuration (for
self-test).
•
Miscellaneous system logic:
— COP reset merging
— I

C timeout reset
The FPGA is powered from standby power supplies and an independent clock. This allows the FPGA to
control all aspects of board bring-up, including power, clocking, and reset.
The ngPIXIS is implemented in an Actel A3P1000-FGG484 484-pad micro-BGA. This figure shows the
overall ngPIXIS architecture.
