ABSTRACT:
The apparatus comprises a repeatable non-uniform segmented routing architecture in a field programmable gate array having a plurality of sets of routing tracks having a first and last track position proceeding in a first direction and having at least one programmable element and at least one direct address device. The tracks are partitioned into uniform lengths and a track in the last position crosses over to a track in the first position immediately prior to said partition. The apparatus of the present system also has a plurality of sets of routing tracks having a first and last track position proceeding in a second direction. The tracks proceeding in the second direction have at least one programmable element and direct address device, wherein the tracks are partitioned into uniform lengths and said last track position crosses over to a first track position immediately prior to said partition.
