ABSTRACT:
A window pane architecture for FPGAs utilizes spaced subarrays having routing channels therebetween. In one embodiment, at least one routing channel includes segmented and staggered routing wires to minimize current loading and capacitive time delay. Connections between the configurable logic blocks, interconnect, and routing wires may be accomplished with switch matrices and programmable interconnect points.
