Abstract:
A high performance interconnect architecture is described that provides reduced delay minimized electromigration and reduced area in FPGAs comprising a plurality of tiles consisting of interconnected logic blocks, that are separated by intervening logic blocks. Each set of interconnected logic blocks is linked by an interconnect segment that is routed in a straight line through an interconnect layer over intervening logic blocks and is selectively connected to the logic block at each end through a connecting segment.
