1.13. Adaptive Logic Module (ALM)
Stratix® 10 devices use a similar adaptive logic module (ALM) as the previous generation Arria® 10 and Stratix® V FPGAs, allowing for efficient implementation of logic functions and easy conversion of IP between the devices.
The ALM block diagram shown in the following figure has eight inputs with a fracturable look-up table (LUT), two dedicated embedded adders, and four dedicated registers.
Key features and capabilities of the ALM include:
- High register count with 4 registers per 8-input fracturable LUT, operating in conjunction with the new Hyperflex® architecture, enables Stratix® 10 devices to maximize core performance at very high core logic utilization
- Implements select 7-input logic functions, all 6-input logic functions, and two independent functions consisting of smaller LUT sizes (such as two independent 4-input LUTs) to optimize core logic utilization
The Quartus® Prime software takes advantage of the ALM logic structure to deliver the highest performance, optimal logic utilization, and lowest compile times. The Quartus® Prime software simplifies design reuse as it automatically maps legacy designs into the Stratix® 10 ALM architecture.
