Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure include improved logic blocks with combined outputs for programmable logic devices and methods of operating and programming these logic blocks. In an exemplary aspect, a programmable logic device (PLD) is described. In some embodiments, the PLD includes a logic block. The logic block may include a first look-up table (LUT) circuit configured to generate a first output; a second LUT circuit configured to generate a second output; a ripple logic circuit configured to receive the first output and the second output and generate a third output; and a three-to-one multiplexer circuit configured to receive the first output, the second output, and the third output and selectively produce an output of the logic block.
