Abstract: A four-input lookup table (“LUT4”) is modified to operate in a first mode as an ordinary LUT4 and in a second mode as a 1-bit adder providing a sum output and a carry output. A six-input lookup table (“LUT6”) is modified to operate in a first mode as an ordinary LUT6 with a single output and in a second mode as a 2-bit adder providing a sum output and a carry output. Both possible results for the two different possible carry inputs can be determined and selected between when the carry input is available, implementing a 2-bit carry-select adder when in the second mode and retaining the ability to operate as an ordinary LUT6 in the first mode. Using the novel LUT6 design in a circuit chip fabric allows a 2-bit adder slice to be built that efficiently makes use of the LUT6 without requiring additional logic blocks.

Abstract: A synchronous circuit design is converted to an asynchronous circuit by converting synchronous circuit logic to an asynchronous circuit logic, and one or more additional tokens into the converted asynchronous circuit. The circuit is initialized with a desired additional number of tokens placed in the asynchronous circuit, or a desired number of tokens are inserted at an input before taking tokens from an output.

Abstract: A synchronous circuit design is converted to an asynchronous circuit by converting synchronous circuit logic to an asynchronous circuit logic, and converting one or more asynchronous inputs at a circuit boundary to an asynchronous input to the converted asynchronous circuit logic, such that the converted asynchronous input is operable to generate a token upon observing a change in state on the asynchronous input. One or more asynchronous outputs at a circuit boundary is converted to an asynchronous output from the converted asynchronous circuit logic, such that the converted asynchronous output is operable to output updated data as soon as changed data is received from the converted asynchronous circuit logic in the asynchronous output.
