ABSTRACT:
Signal distribution of a regional signal is described. An integrated circuit includes a global signal distribution network, a regional signal distribution network and a regional buffer. The regional buffer has an output coupled at an end of the regional signal distribution network. The regional signal distribution network is coupled to a configurable logic block via an interconnect tile. The regional buffer is coupled to a regional clock capable input/output block. Additionally described is a source synchronous interface for regional signal distribution.
