The application and working principle of the LCMXO2-1200ZE-2MG132IR1 is as follows:

The LCMXO2-1200ZE-2MG132IR1 utilizes the Altera MAX II architecture. This architecture consists of several distinct components that interact to form a complete FPGA design. The components include:

• Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)
• Configurable Interconnect (INCF)
• Configurable Input/Output Blocks (IOBs)
• Configurable Memory Blocks (MB)
• Configurable Timing (CT)

The Configurable Logic Blocks (CLB) are used to implement the user-defined logic functions of an FPGA design. These blocks consist of up to four 4-input lookup tables (LUTs) connected to an arithmetic-logic unit (ALU). The ALU performs arithmetic and bit level operations such as add, subtract, and AND. The CLBs provide the main logic capabilities of the FPGA.

The Configurable Interconnect (INCF) provides the programmable interconnect between CLBs and other logic elements, allowing for the wiring up of arbitrate logic functions. The INCF contains dedicated routing resources such as full and simple multiplexers, and allows for the configuration of paths from one CLB to another in a regular pattern. It enables the realization of complex functions out of the blocks and makes high-density designs a reality.

Configurable Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) provide the circuitry to interface between external signal sources and the logic blocks within an FPGA. They are equipped with three-state buffers to convert the internal logic levels to external logic levels, as well as providing the ability to latch and drive outputs. This enables the user to create a variety of custom interface circuits, including analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters.

The Configurable Memory Blocks (MB) contain the addressable RAM blocks required for embedded applications. The LCMXO2-1200ZE-2MG132IR1 contains 32-Mb distributed RAM blocks. These blocks are used to store data that is accessed using dedicated logic functions. In addition to this, MB also contains embedded logic resources to manipulate data within the RAM blocks.

The Configurable Timing (CT) resources of the LCMXO2-1200ZE-2MG132IR1 are used to provide clock signals to the embedded system. The CT resources consist of delay lines, phase-locked loops and on-chip oscillators. They are used to generate the regular clock signals required for many embedded systems.

In conclusion, the LCMXO2-1200ZE-2MG132IR1 device is an excellent choice for embedded applications, due to its powerful performance and convenient features. With its combination of Altera MAX II architecture and the newest generation of CMOS technologies, it offers a formidable package for the development of applications in the field of automotive, industrial, and medical applications.
