Abstract
A programmable logic device having the capability of initializing and resetting to a specified digital state. One or more clear/preset product terms are available for initializing and resetting the macrocells of the programmable logic device. Each macrocell can be either cleared to a '0' or preset to a '1' according to the clear/preset product terms. Control bits are used to select which of the clear/preset product terms, if any, are to be used to clear and/or preset a particular macrocell. These control bits are programmable for each of the macrocells, thereby allowing each macrocell to output either a '0' or a '1', as desired by the user, independent of the other macrocells. The macrocells can be cleared and preset asynchronously.
