    摘要: A programmable logic array integrated circuit has a number of programmable logic modules which are grouped together in a plurality of logic array blocks ("LABs"). The LABs are arranged on the circuit in a two dimensional array. A conductor network is provided for interconnecting any logic module with any other logic module. In addition, adjacent or nearby logic modules are connectable to one another for such special purposes as providing a carry chain between logic modules and/or for connecting two or more modules together to provide more complex logic functions without having to make use of the general interconnection network. Another network of so-called fast or universal conductors is provided for distributing widely used logic signals such as clock and clear signals throughout the circuit. Multiplexers can be used in various ways to reduce the number of programmable interconnections required between signal conductors. A relatively large block of random access memory ("RAM") may be provided on the device for use as read-only memory ("ROM") or RAM during operation of the device to perform logic. The RAM block is connected in the circuitry of the device so that it can be programmed and verified compatibly with other memory on the device. Thereafter the circuitry of the RAM block allows it to be switched over to operation as RAM or ROM during logic operation of the device.

    摘要: Redundant circuitry for a logic circuit such as a programmable logic device is provided. The redundant circuitry allows the logic circuit to be repaired by replacing a defective logic area on the circuit with a redundant logic circuit. Rows and columns of logic areas may be logically remapped by row and column swapping. The logic circuit contains dynamic control circuitry for directing programming data to various logic areas on the circuit in an order defined by redundancy configuration data. Redundancy may be implemented using either fully or partially redundant logic areas. Logic areas may be swapped to remap a partially redundant logic area onto a logic area containing a defect. The defect may then be repaired using row or column swapping or shifting. A logic circuit containing folded rows of logic areas may be repaired by replacing a defective half-row with a redundant half-row.

    摘要: A programmable logic integrated circuit device is provided with enhanced capability for dynamically multiplexing signals on the device. Controllable connectors that are provided on the device for connecting any of several connector input signals to a connector output are controlled by control signals that can be programmable selected to be either constant or variable signals. If a control signal is selected to be a variable signal, then the connector controlled by that control signal can be operated as a dynamic multiplexer of the input signals to that connector. The controllable connectors may advantageously be used as the connectors that are employed for allowing several possible signal sources to effectively share a smaller of number of signal drivers.
