ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit having a plurality of data transceivers positioned on opposite ends of the integrated circuit is disclosed. The integrated circuit comprises a first plurality of data transceivers positioned in a column on a first end of the integrated circuit and a second plurality of data transceivers positioned in a column on a second end. A circuit is preferably positioned between the first plurality of data transceivers and the second plurality of data transceivers. The circuit could comprise, for example, circuits for implementing a programmable logic device. The circuitry of the plurality of data transceivers is also preferably arranged such that analog circuitry is positioned closer to an end of the integrated circuit than the digital circuits to reduce interference with the analog circuits. According to another aspect of the invention, the data transceivers are formed on layers to reduce the amount of interference.
