To indicate the complexity of the FPGA devices further terminologies such as Adaptive Logic Module (ALM), Equivalent Logic Cell (ELC), or Advanced Silicon Modular Block (
ASMBL) are also being used.
Enabled by the revolutionary
ASMBL (Advanced Silicon Modular Block) architecture, Virtex-4 FPGAs deliver more options than any other FPGA family available today.
Its
ASMBL architecture, a modular framework of silicon subsystems, enables multiple platforms to efficiently support different application domains.
