Abstract
A configurable logic block (CLB) and an operation method of the CLB are provided. The CLB includes memory units and a selecting circuit. The memory unit includes a first resistive non-volatile memory (RNVM) element and a second RNVM element. Top electrodes (TEs) of the first and second RNVM elements are coupled to an output terminal of the memory unit. Bottom electrodes (BEs) of the first and second RNVM elements are respectively coupled to a first bias terminal and a second bias terminal of the memory unit. The selecting circuit selects one of the memory units according to an input logic value and determines an output logic value of the CLB according to an output logic value of the selected memory unit.
