ABSTRACT:
A programmable interconnect circuit includes multiple input/output cells, each corresponding to an input/output pin, and a global routing resource for routing signals received at the input pins to be output as output signals at output and bi-directional pins. The signals routed in the global routing resource can include multiplexer control signals, clock signals and output enable signals for controlling dynamic signal switching. The global routing resource allows high static routability.
