Abstract
The present invention provides an output logic macrocell for controlling configuration of an output for an integrated circuit wich provides a logic signal including a register responsive to a clock signal for latching the logic signal to provide a registered signal. An output selector receives both the logic signal and the registered signal and selects responsive to an output select signal, either the logic signal or the registered signal. A feedback path provides a feedback signal as data which is selected by a feedback selector responsive to a feedback select signal for selecting the logic signal or the registered signal as the feedback signal. Further, a clock signal enable circuit, responsive to a clock enable signal, enables or disables the clock signal to clock the register. Accordingly, the register, the output selector, the feedback path, and the clock enable circuit are all dynamically controllable by respective control signals.
