A programmable logic block provides two lookup table (LUT) output signals to a general interconnect structure in an integrated circuit (IC), one output terminal of the logic block being dedicated to a first LUT output signal, and the other output terminal having a selectable input that can provide either of the two LUT output signals to the general interconnect structure. An IC includes an interconnect structure (e.g., a programmable interconnect structure) and a programmable logic block coupled to the interconnect structure. The programmable logic block includes a LUT having two output terminals. A first LUT output terminal is non-programmably coupled to the interconnect structure via a first output terminal of the logic block. Both the first and the second LUT output terminals are programmably coupled to the interconnect structure via a second output terminal of the logic block, e.g., via a programmable multiplexer selecting between the two LUT output terminals.
