Abstract: Logic design apparatus and method provides serial multiplexer chains in a programmable logic fabric, each element in the chain either selects output of block, or passes output from earlier element of the chain. Select line is a decoder structure or output from configurable function generator that is configured at power-on to create correct selection. Using such structure, larger multiplexer, including priority multiplexers, tristate buses or larger look-up tables (LUTs) can be created. These novel structures can implement priority, non-priority or tristate multiplexers.
