Automated implementation of non-arithmetic operators in an arithmetic logic cell

摘要

Disclosed is a method of freeing up a non-arithmetic logic block by configuring an LE driving the non-arithmetic logic block to carry out the non-arithmetic logic function of the non-arithmetic logic block. Appropriately configured LEs are identified and the LEs are reconfigured to incorporate or “push back” the non-arithmetic logic into the LE, thus advantageously freeing up the non-arithmetic logic block and allowing it to be used for logic functions driven by other LEs.
