Field programmable application specific integrated circuit with programmable logic array and method of designing and programming the programmable logic array

摘要

A programmable logic array for use in a field programmable application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) implementation is provided. The programmable logic array includes programmable logic blocks, and programmable logic interfaces. The programmable logic interfaces couple the programmable logic blocks to external interfaces of the field programmable ASIC, and enable the programmable logic array to be inserted into the field programmable ASIC as a hard macro block.
