3.2.2. ALM Output

The general routing outputs in each ALM drive the local, row, and column routing resources. Four ALM outputs can drive column, row, or direct link routing connections.

The LUT, adder, or register output can drive the ALM outputs. Both the LUT or adder and the ALM register can drive out of the ALM simultaneously.

Register packing improves device utilization by allowing unrelated register and combinational logic to be packed into a single ALM. Another mechanism to improve fitting is to allow the register output to feed back into the LUT of the same ALM so that the register is packed with its own fan-out LUT. The ALM can also drive out registered and unregistered versions of the LUT or adder output.

The following figure shows the Intel® Stratix® 10 ALM connectivity. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime Resource Property Editor, the entire ALM connection is simplified. Some routings will be routed internally by the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
