ABSTRACT:
A re-configurable combinational logic device. The device comprises combinational logic that inputs a number of signals and a memory array for storing data to define Boolean expressions for a number of states. The states have Boolean expressions of selected signals of the signals input to the combinational logic. The combinational logic is configurable, in response to the data, to select the signals as operands for said Boolean expression and to output a signal that is the result of the Boolean expression. The combinational logic is re-configurable, in response to further data from the memory array, to output a signal that is the result of additional Boolean expressions.
