Working Principles

FPGAs like the LCMXO2-4000HC-6BG256C consist of an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) interconnected through programmable routing channels. The CLBs contain look-up tables (LUTs), flip-flops, and other components that can be configured to implement desired logic functions. By programming the interconnections and configuring the CLBs, designers can create custom digital circuits within the FPGA.

The LCMXO2-4000HC-6BG256C utilizes a combination of static random-access memory (SRAM) cells and multiplexers to store and route configuration data. During power-up or reconfiguration, the device loads the configuration bitstream into its SRAM cells, establishing the desired circuit
