Honored ContributorLE vs LUT vs Logic Gate. What is the relatioship/distinction between them?
I understand that the answer to this question may become quite lengthy. Thus my question is, where can I find the clear distinction made between Logic element, Look up table and Logic gate on FPGAs?

Altera_ForumLUT refers to a 4 inputs thruth table ( a SRAM with 16 rows ) inside the LE. The LE includes this truth table, a flip-flop D and additional logic. You always program the logic element. If you just need a combinational circuit you can by pass the FF-D.

logic gates are implemented inside the LUT.
