A high-speed RISC CPU using the QL16/spl times/24 FPGA

State-of-the-art FPGAs will open new application areas for programmable logic previously possible only with ASIC or custom solutions. New submicron programmable ASICs (pASICs) from QuickLogic will push the industry's fastest FPGA architecture to higher speeds and higher densities. This paper describes an intriguing application a high-performance 16-bit RISC CPU designed in a QuickLogic QL16/spl times/24 FPGA.
