Abstract(in English) This paper presents an FPGA architecture for high-speed systems, such as next-generation B-ISDN telecommunications systems.Such a system requires an LSI in which an over-10K-gate circuit can be implemented and that has a clock cycle rate of 80MHz.So far, the FPGA architecture has only been discussed in terms of its circuit structure.In contrast, we consider the circuit structure of the FPGA along with the performance of its dedicated CAD system.We evaluate several FPGA logic-element structures with a technology mapping method.From these experiments, a multiplexor-based logic-element is found to be suitable for implementing such a high-speed circuit using the BDD-based technology mapping method.In addition, we examine how to best utilize the characteristics of the selected logic-cell structure in designing the wiring structure.It is found that the multiplexor-based cell can be connected efficiently in a clustered wiring structure.
