An interconnect architecture comprising a plurality of horizontal and vertical general interconnect channels, each including a plurality of interconnect conductors some of which may be segmented, is imposed on the array. Individual ones of the interconnect conductors are connectable to each other and to the inputs and outputs of the logic function modules by user-programmable interconnect elements. A local interconnect architecture comprising local interconnect channels is also imposed on the array. Each local interconnect channel includes a plurality of local interconnect conductors and runs between pairs of adjacent ones of the logic function modules.

Abstract: An FPGA architecture has top, middle and low levels. The top level of the architecture is an array of the B16×16 tiles arranged in a rectangular array and enclosed by I/O blocks on the periphery. On each of the four sides of the B16×16 tile, and also associated with each of the I/O blocks is a freeway routing channel. A B16×16 tile in the middle level of hierarchy is a sixteen by sixteen array of B1 blocks. The routing resources in the middle level of hierarchy is are expressway routing channels M1, M2, and M3 including groups of interconnect conductors. At the lowest level of the semi-hierarchical FPGA architecture, there are block connect (BC) routing channels, local mesh (LM) routing channels, and direct connect (DC) interconnect conductors. Each BC routing channel is coupled to an expressway tab to provide access for each B1 block to the expressway routing channels M1, M2, and M3, respectively. Each BC routing channel has nine interconnect conductors which are grouped into three groups of three interconnect conductors. Each group of three interconnect conductors is connected to a first side of a Extension Board (EB) 3×3 switch matrix. A second side of each EB 3×3 switch matrix is coupled to the E-tab. Between adjacent B1 blocks, in both the horizontal and vertical directions, the leads on the second side of a first EB 3×3 switch matrix may be coupled to the leads on the second side of second EB3×3 switch matrix by BC criss-cross extension.

Abstract: A fracturable logic element includes a first, second, third, and fourth two-input lookup tables (2-LUTs). Each 2-LUT includes four memory elements. Each memory element is configured to hold one data bit. The fracturable logic element also includes a set of six inputs and a control circuit configured to operate in a first mode and a second mode. When the control circuit operates in the first mode, a first combinatorial output is generated using four of the set of six inputs and the first, second, third, and fourth 2-LUTs. When the control circuit operates in the second mode, a second combinatorial output is generated using a first subset of three of the set of six inputs and the first and second 2-LUTS. Additionally, when the control circuit operates in the second mode, a third combinatorial output is generated using a second subset of three of the set of six inputs and the third and fourth 2-LUTs, the first and second subsets being non-intersecting subsets of the set of six inputs.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, arithmetic structures in logic elements result from combining inverters and pass gates (or other multiplexing hardware) with LUT hardware. According to other embodiments, arithmetic structures in logic elements result from combining dedicated adder hardware (e.g., including XOR units) and fracturable LUT hardware. According to other embodiments, arithmetic structures in logic elements result from providing complementary input connections between multiplexers and LUT hardware. In this way, the present invention enables the incorporation of arithmetic structures with LUT structures in a number of ways.
