ABSTRACT:
A programmable logic device comprising one or more horizontal routing channels, one or more vertical routing channels, and a logic element. Each logic element may be configured to connect between one of the horizontal routing channels and one of the vertical routing channels. The logic element may comprise a logic block cluster and a memory block.
