ABSTRACT:
A programmable logic device having a Logic Element with an N-stage Look Up Table (LUT), dedicated hardware for performing a non-LUT logic function, and an over-ride element configured to selectively force a muxing stage within the N-stage LUT to select either one or more LUT configuration bit inputs or the output of the non-LUT logic function as the output of the LUT. In various embodiments, the non-LUT functions can include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, digital signal processing, memory storage, etc.
