ABSTRACT:
In a programmable gate array ("PGA"), logic cells therein are programmed to create a combined output with enhanced current driving ability. Specifically, a first logic cell is programmed to have a first output and a second logic cell is programmed to have a second output. The first and second outputs are connected within the PGA forming a combined output having enhanced current driving ability by the first logic cell and the second logic cell. The first and second logic cells are programmed with identical logic functions such that they operate in parallel.
