An interconnect architecture for a programmable logic device comprises a plurality of interconnect routing lines. The data inputs of a plurality of first-level multiplexers are connected to the plurality of interconnect routing lines such that each interconnect routing line is connected to only one multiplexer. A plurality of second-level multiplexers are organized into multiplexer groups. Each of a plurality of lookup tables is associated with one of the multiplexer groups and has a plurality of lookup table inputs. Each lookup table input is coupled to the output of a different one of the second-level multiplexers in the one of the multiplexer groups with which it is associated. The data inputs of the second-level multiplexers are connected to the outputs of the first-level multiplexers such that each output of each first-level multiplexer is connected to an input of only one second-level multiplexer in each multiplexer group.
