Abstract
In an example, a method of implementing a circuit design for a programmable integrated circuit (IC) begins by identifying combinatorial logic functions of the circuit design. The method maps, according to a first constraint, a first threshold percentage of the combinatorial logic functions onto a first type of lookup tables (LUTs) of the programmable IC in favor of second type of LUTs of the programmable IC, the second type of LUTs being more susceptible to single event upsets than the first type of LUTs. The method generates a first physical implementation of the circuit design for the programmable IC based on the mapping.
