Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Reconfigurable logic devices are usually classified on the basis of their basic logic cell architecture as fine-grain or coarse-grain. The coarse-grained architecture is suitable for the byte processing. On the other hand, the fine-grained architecture is suitable for the bit processing. Because there are suitable operations for each devices, it is a problem that applications are limited by a kind of device. To solve this problem, we propose variable grain logic cell that can be implemented full adder and the same function of LUT. Our proposed logic cell has various functional modes. Therefore, when we map logical operations, our logic cell is larger than conventional LUTs in the number of transistors and configuration memory bits. In this paper, we show a mapping method utilizing the gate structure in order to reduce the cost of logical operations. As a result, the mapping method achieves the same number of transistors and reduces configuration memory bits by 43% in comparison with conventional 4-LUT.
