Abstract:
A logic module, comprising:a plurality of inputs, where each input is generally for receiving a respective input signal;a logic circuit configurable to operate in one of multiple modes of operation including a combinational mode of operation and a sequential mode of operation, wherein said logic circuit is configured to operate in a combinational mode of operation by applying a first set of input signals to said plurality of inputs and to operate in a sequential mode of operation by applying a second set of input signals to said plurality of inputs, wherein said logic circuit includes a first bit storage unit selectively configurable to store a first bit and a second bit storage unit selectively configurable to store a second bit, wherein in said combinational mode of operation said first bit storage unit and said second bit storage unit are configured to operate as combinational logic, and wherein in said sequential mode of operation at least one of said first bit storage unit and said second bit storage unit are configured to store a bit.
