Figure 4. FLEX 8000 Carry Chain Operation
Cascade Chain
With the cascade chain, the FLEX 8000 architecture can implement
functions that have a very wide fan-in. Adjacent LUTs can be used to
compute portions of the function in parallel; the cascade chain serially
connects the intermediate values. The cascade chain can use a logical AND
or logical OR (via De Morgan’s inversion) to connect the outputs of
adjacent LEs. Each additional LE provides four more inputs to the
effective width of a function, with a delay as low as 0.6 ns per LE.
