    摘要: A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for using a configuration shift chain to implement a multi-bitstream function includes a bitstream control circuit, a multi-bitstream configuration shift chain and a configurable module. The FPGA enables multi-bitstream storage configuration bits to latch configuration bitstreams by adjusting a circuit structure of a multi-bitstream configuration shift chain in a combination of a control logic of a bitstream control circuit for the multi-bitstream configuration shift chain, and outputs one latched configuration bitstream from a configuration output terminal to a configurable module through each multi-bitstream storage configuration bit as required, so that the configurable module implements a logic function corresponding to the configuration bitstream outputted by the multi-bitstream configuration shift chain. By switching output of different configuration bitstreams, the FPGA can perform a plurality of times of high-speed switching to implement different logic functions without downloading bitstreams from an off-chip.
