Abstract

A programmable logic core (PLC) can be integrated into custom ICS such as ASICs and SOCs. An example PLC for integration into a custom IC includes a Multi Scale Array (MSA) that consists of an array of configurable ALUs, an Application Circuit Interface (ACI) that provides signal interface between the MSA and application circuitry, and a PLC Adapter that initiates and loads the PLC configuration data and interfaces.
