  • Publication number: 20230216503
    Abstract: Various techniques are provided to implement look-up table (LUT) circuits. In one example, a LUT circuit includes a first LUT configured to selectively receive a first input signal and each input signal of a set of input signals and determine a first output signal based on the first input signal and/or an input signal(s) of the set. The LUT circuit also includes a second LUT configured to selectively receive a second input signal and each input signal of the set and determine a second output signal based on the second input signal and/or an input signal(s) of the set. The LUT circuit also includes a multiplexer configured to selectively receive the first and second output signals and a third input signal, and selectively provide, based on the third input signal, the first or second output signal as an output of the LUT circuit. Related systems and methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20050231235
    Abstract: A programmable logic device (PLD) having heterogeneous programmable logic blocks. In one embodiment, the PLD includes programmable interconnect circuitry and programmable input-output circuitry coupled to the programmable interconnect circuitry. An array of programmable logic blocks is coupled to the interconnect circuitry. Each programmable logic block includes a plurality of programmable logic elements coupled to the interconnect circuitry. Each of the programmable logic elements is programmable to implement a common set of functions, and at least one but less than all of the programmable logic elements is programmable to implement a set of supplemental functions.
