Abstract

See full text

Distributed random access memory in a programmable logic device uses configuration RAM bits as bits of the distributed RAM. A single write path is used to provide both configuration data and user write data. Selection circuitry, such as a multiplexer, is used to determine whether the single write path carries configuration data or user write data. In another aspect of the invention, the configuration RAM bits are used as to construct a shift register by adding pass transistors to chain the configuration RAM bits together, and clocking alternate pass transistors with two clocks 180.degree. out of phase with one another.
