Logic Array Blocks
adjacent LE for fast sequential LUT connections within the same LAB. Register chain
connections transfer the output of one LE’s register to the adjacent LE’s register
within an LAB. The Quartus® II software places associated logic within an LAB or
adjacent LABs, allowing the use of local, LUT chain, and register chain connections
for performance and area efficiency. Figure 2–3 shows the MAX V LAB.
