摘要:
A programmable logic array device has a plurality of logic regions and conductors for conveying signals between the logic regions. Conductors of several different lengths are provided so that most connections between logic regions can be made using conductors which are close to the length required and not wastefully much longer than that length.

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.

A programmable variable depth and width random-access memory circuit is provided. The memory circuit contains rows and columns of memory cells for storing data. A row decoder is used to address individual rows of the memory cells. Column address circuitry receives a column address signal and a width and depth selection signal. A column decoder within the column address circuitry addresses one or more columns of memory cells of the RAM array based on the selected width of the array. The output of the column decoder is routed to the appropriate column or columns of memory cells by a pattern of fixed connections and a group of programmable multiplexers. The number of data output lines to which data signals are provided is determined by the selected width of the RAM array. The output circuitry contains a group of programmable demultiplexers and a routing array having a pattern of fixed connections suitable for passing data signals from the RAM array to the selected number of data output lines.
