摘要:
A dedicated hardware block is provided for implementing crossbars and/or barrel shifters in programmable logic resources. Crossbar and/or barrel shifter circuitry may replace one or more rows, one or more columns, one or more rectangles, or any combination thereof of programmable logic regions on a programmable logic resource. The functionality of the crossbar and/or barrel shifter circuitry can further be improved by implementing time-multiplexing.

An FPGA architecture has top, middle and low levels. The top level is an array of B16×16 tiles enclosed by I/O blocks. The routing resources in the middle level are expressway routing channels including interconnect conductors. At the lowest level, there are block connect routing channels, local mesh routing channels, and direct connect interconnect conductors to connect the logic elements to further routing resources. Each B1 block includes four clusters of devices. Each of the clusters includes first and second LUT3s, a LUT2, and a DFF. Each of the LUT3s have three inputs and one output. Each of the LUT2s have two inputs and one output. Each DFF has a data input and a data output. In each of the clusters the outputs of the LUT3s are multiplexed to the input of DFF, and symmetrized with the output of the DFF to form two outputs of each of the clusters.

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.
