Abstract:
Techniques for providing high-performance interconnect for integrated circuits will improve overall integrated circuit performance. These techniques include arranging, laying out, and fabricating the signal conductors (e.g., 405, 720) so the parasitic coupling capacitances (e.g., 425) are minimized and parasitic resistance is reduced. The techniques will minimize effects of crosstalk noise between the conductors, and thus improve overall integrated circuit performance.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ASIC equivalents of FPGAs more efficiently and economically.SOLUTION: Providing ASIC equivalents of FPGAs is facilitated and made more efficient and economical by using an ASIC architecture including a plurality of so-called hybrid logic elements (HLEs), each of which can provide a portion of the full functionality of an FPGA logic element (LE). The functionality of each FPGA LE implementing a user's logic design can be mapped to one or more HLEs without resynthesis of the user's logic. Only as many HLEs as are necessary are used to perform the functions of each LE. The one-for-one equivalence between each LE and either (1) one HLE or (2) a group of HLEs facilitates mapping (without resynthesis) in either direction between FPGA and ASIC designs.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ASIC equivalent of an FPGA effectively and economically. SOLUTION: Provision for the ASIC equivalent of the FPGA is improved and performed effectively and economically, by using an ASIC architecture including a plurality of so called hybrid logic element (HLE). Each HLE can provide a part of a perfect function of the FPGA logic element (LE). Each function of the FPGA LE mounting logic design of a user can be mapped to a single or a plurality of HLEs, without recombining a logic of the user. Only the required number of the HLE can be used for performing the functions for each LE. The mapping in any one direction can be improved (without recombining), between FPGA design and ASIC design by equivalence of one versus one between LEs, and between (1) single HLE and (2) inter-HLE group.
