ABSTRACT:
AND gates are used at the inputs to logic elements in a programmable logic device. This allows more efficient configuration of the logic elements for basic functions such as a multiplier, clearable counter and multiplexer. Inputs to the AND gates are enabled by LAB-wide control signals that are distributed to several logic elements within a logic array block. The control signals can also be generated from a RAM or ROM, or by decoding existing control signals.
