Abstract
A progammable integrated circuit with a logic element including an input, an output and a logic function block wherein an input signal may be either passed form the input to the output bypassing the logic function block or the input signal may pass through the logic function block to provide a result to the output. Thus, a signal on the input may pass through the logic element without being logically altered or stored.
