Abstract

A programmable device structure based on a mixed function storage unit includes a storage unit SRAM and a mixed function unit, wherein the storage unit comprises n register units and at least one selection control bit, wherein n=2{circumflex over ( )}x, and x is natural number; the register units are selected according to the selection control bit; and when the selection control bit selects the mixed function unit to serve as a lookup table, a logic function is achieved; or when the selection control bit selects the mixed function unit to serve as a multiplexer, a routing function is achieved. By multiplexing the register units, the programmable device structure achieves a routing function of a traditional FPGA and also provides a logic function, and the waste of resources is greatly reduced.
