Abstract

A logic element for a programmable logic device. The logic element includes a look-up table (400) for implementing logical functions, a programmable delay block (415), a storage block (430) configurable as a latch or a flip-flop, and a diagnostic shadow latch (435). A plurality of inputs (410) to the logic element and complements of these inputs are available to control the secondary functions of the storage block (430).
