Abstract
Disclosed is a programmable logic device (“PLD”) including at least one lookup table (“LUT”) based logic element (“LE”) of a first type and at least one LUT based LE of a second type. The first type of LE is different from the second type of LE. The term ‘different’ when used herein to describe the relationship of a first logic structure and/or its components to a second logic structure and/or its components indicates a difference in hardware design as opposed to a configuration difference or non-designed differences resulting, for example, from manufacturing variability. Additionally, a PLD can include at least one logic array block (“LAB”) of a first type having at least one LUT based LE and at least one LAB of a second type having at least one LUT based LE. The first type of LAB being different from the second type of LAB.
