What is coresize(tiles)?

Hi,

I am new to this FPGA and VHDl. I came across the word tiles(coresize) while going through some document.

Ex: It is given like Tile count is 241 for CoreABC(from Actel).

Can anyone tell me what "Tiles" is?
Any units for this, like we have have bytes for memory??

Thanks in advance.

A tile is in Actel nomenclature the elementary cell, it can be configured as a FF or a generic 3 input 2 output logic function.

Hope this helps.


you can refer to a generic datasheet of any Actel flash device to see how a Tile is composed.
