Abstract

See full text

A programmable logic device architecture with a highly routable programmable interconnect structure. The arrangement of the logic array blocks (LABs), programmable interconnect structure, and other logical elements forms a Clos network. After specific constraints have been met, the architecture is guaranteed to route. The architecture is provably routable when there is no fan-out in the middle stage. A LAB (200) comprises an input multiplexer region (504), logic elements (300), input-output pins (516), and output multiplexer region (508).
