Boundary-scan Description Language (BSDL). ISP allows the device to be programmed
without removing it from the printed circuit board. In addition to simplifying the manufac-
turing flow, ISP also allows design modifications to be made in the field via software.

Product Terms and
Select Mux Each ATF1502ASV macrocell has five product terms. Each product term receives as its
inputs all signals from both the global bus and regional bus.
The product term select multiplexer (PTMUX) allocates the five product terms as
needed to the macrocell logic gates and control signals. The PTMUX programming is
determined by the design compiler, which selects the optimum macrocell configuration.
OR/XOR/
CASCADE Logic The ATF1502ASV’s logic structure is designed to efficiently support all types of logic.
Within a single macrocell, all the product terms can be routed to the OR gate, creating a
5-input AND/OR sum term. With the addition of the CASIN from neighboring macrocells,
this can be expanded to as many as 40 product terms with little additional delay.
The macrocell’s XOR gate allows efficient implementation of compare and arithmetic
functions. One input to the XOR comes from the OR sum term. The other XOR input can
be a product term or a fixed high or low level. For combinatorial outputs, the fixed level
input allows polarity selection. For registered functions, the fixed levels allow DeMorgan
minimization of product terms. The XOR gate is also used to emulate T- and JK-type
flip-flops.
