Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a configurable logic circuit. The logic circuits has inputs for receiving input data. It also has a first connecting circuit for receiving configuration data and at least a portion of the input data. Based at least partially on the received portion of the input data, the first connecting circuit selects configuration data sub-sets. The logic circuit also includes a second core-logic circuit for receiving configuration data sub-sets from the first connecting circuit and for providing the output data. At least two configuration data sub-sets configure the configurable logic circuit to perform at least two different functions on the input data to produce output data.
