Each LE’s programmable register can be configured for D, T, JK, or SR
operation. The register’s clock and clear control signals can be driven by
global signals, general-purpose I/O pins, or any internal logic. For
combinatorial functions, the register is bypassed and the output of the
LUT drives the outputs of the LE.
Each LE has two outputs that drive the local, MegaLAB, or FastTrack
interconnect routing structure. Each output can be driven independently
by the LUT’s or register’s output. For example, the LUT can drive one
output while the register drives the other output. This feature, called
register packing, improves device utilization because the register and the
LUT can be used for unrelated functions. The LE can also drive out
registered and unregistered versions of the LUT output.
