ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods provide programmable logic block architectures and routing architectures for the programmable logic blocks. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a programmable logic device includes a plurality of programmable logic blocks and a plurality of logic block slices within each of the programmable logic blocks. A first routing circuit provides global signal routing within the programmable logic device for the corresponding programmable logic block. A first input routing circuit receives signals from the first routing circuit and routes the signals to the logic block slices within the corresponding programmable logic block.
