A new FPGA architecture suitable for digital signal processing applications is presented. DSP modules can be inserted into FPGA conveniently with the proposed architecture, which is much faster when used in the field of digital signal processing compared with traditional FPGAs. An advanced 2-level MUX （multiplexer） is also proposed. With the added SLEEP MODE PASS to traditional 2-level MUX, static leakage is reduced. Furthermore, buffers are inserted at early returns of long lines. With this kind of buffer, the delay of the long line is improved by 9.8% while the area increases by 4.37%. The layout of this architecture has been taped out in standard 0.13 μm CMOS technology successfully. The die size is 6.3 × 4.5 mm^2 with the QFP208 package. Test results show that performances of presented classical DSP cases are improved by 28.6%-302% compared with traditional FPGAs.

A novel Fudan programmable logic chip （FDP） was designed and implemented with a SMIC 0. 18μm CMOS logic process. The new 3-LUT based logic cell circuit increases logic density about 11% compared with a traditional 4-input LUT. The unique hierarchy routing fabrics and effective switch box optimize the routing wire segments and make it possible for different lengths to connect directly. The FDP contains 1,600 programmable logic cells, 160 programmable I/O, and 16kbit dual port block RAM. Its die size is 6. 104mm× 6. 620mm, with the package of QFP208. The hardware and software cooperation tests indicate that FDP chip works correctly and efficiently.
