Stratix GX FPGA Family
With the LAB-wide addnsub control signal, a single LE can implement a
one-bit adder and subtractor. This saves LE resources and improves
performance for logic functions such as DSP correlators and signed
multipliers that alternate between addition and subtraction depending
on data.
The LAB row clocks [7..0] and LAB local interconnect generate the LAB-
wide control signals. The MultiTrack^TM interconnect’s inherent low skew
allows clock and control signal distribution in addition to data. Figure 47
shows the LAB control signal generation circuit.

Logic Elements
The smallest unit of logic in the Stratix GX architecture, the LE, is compact
and provides advanced features with efficient logic utilization. Each LE
contains a four-input LUT, which is a function generator that can
implement any function of four variables. In addition, each LE contains a
programmable register and carry chain with carry select capability. A
single LE also supports dynamic single bit addition or subtraction mode
selectable by an LAB-wide control signal. Each LE drives all types of
interconnects: local, row, column, LUT chain, register chain, and direct
link interconnects. See Figure 48.
