Abstract
A programmable logic region on a programmable integrated circuit may include a first set of look-up tables that receive programmable logic region input signals and a second set of look-up tables that produce programmable logic region output signals. Multiplexer circuitry may be interposed between the first and second sets of look-up tables. The multiplexer circuitry may receive the programmable logic region input signals in parallel with the output signals from the first set of look-up tables and may provide corresponding selected signals to the second set of look-up tables. The programmable logic region input signals may be shared by the first and second sets of look-up tables. Logic circuitry may be coupled to outputs of the first and second sets of look-up tables. The logic circuitry may be configured to logically combine output signals from the first and second sets of look-up tables.
