Abstract :
The paper presents the process of designing, simulating and testing the current version of well-known SpartanII FPGA. This prototype chip was designed with current mode gates - novel digital gates operating with constant, continuous power supply current. Such continuous supply is a perfect one for analog-digital circuits, which are located on the same single die.
