The CLB is a reconfigurable digital logic module, similar to a CPLD, that is integrated into the microcontroller (MCU) and performs hardware-based digital logic independent of the CPU. This results in fast and predictable response times for a diverse range of applications, such as automotive and industrial. The CLB enables much larger hardware-based digital logic designs than previously possible on an MCU and is also capable of operating in sleep mode, allowing complex processing to occur with very low power consumption.
2025 Configurable Logic Design Challenge Is Now Live
Join us for our 2025 Configurable Logic Design Challenge. With expert judges, free development tools and a $10,000 prize pool, this contest is an excellent opportunity to show off your design skills using our innovative CLB peripheral. Click the link below for more information about the contest and register now.
How to Get Started With the CLB Tool
A graphical CLB configuration tool is integrated into MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC) for increased development speed and convenience. The tool, which is also offered online, allows logic designs to be sketched, aiding visualization. After the design is finished, the tool optimizes, synthesizes and outputs a CLB bitstream for the device to use. Alternatively, pre-built libraries can be dragged and dropped into the tool to implement common use cases.
CLB Traffic Light Demo
Are you curious to see the CLB in action? With Microchip Try, you can experience our CLB demo featuring a European traffic light. Change the light and observe how the CLB monitors the light and ensures it returns to a safe state.
