摘要： A L-level permutable switching network (L-PSN) having switches and multiple levels of conductors that are used to connect a first plurality of conductors to other multiple sets of conductors within respective interconnect resources constraints. The L-PSN can be applied in a wide range of applications, in tandem or hierarchically, to provide a large switch network used in network, routers, and programmable logic circuits. The L-PSN is used to connect a first set of conductors, through the L-PSN, to multiple sets of conductors in a given logic circuit hierarchy whereby the conductors in each of the multiple sets are equivalent or exchangeable, which in term, by construction, makes the first set of conductors equivalent when used in the next level of circuit hierarchy. The L-PSN is scalable for large sized sets of conductors and can be used in tandem or hierarchically to enable programmable interconnections among large sized circuits.

摘要： A scalable non-blocking switching network (SN) having switches and intermediate (stages of) conductors that are used to connect a first plurality of conductors to other multiple sets of conductors in a generally unrestricted fashion within respective interconnect resources constraints.

摘要： A scalable non-blocking switching network (SN) having switches and intermediate (stages of) conductors that are used to connect substantially a first plurality of conductors, through a first set of switches, to a second plurality sets of conductors. The conductors in each set of the second plurality of conductors substantially connect, through a second set of switches, to a third plurality of sets of conductors. Each conductor of a set of the third plurality sets of conductors either connects, physically, to one pin in each of a plurality of functional blocks or, through a third set of switches, to a subsequent fourth set of conductors. The SN is scalable for larger sets of conductors by adding additional sets of intermediate conductors in a hierarchically fashion.

摘要： An improved field programmable gate array (FPGA) is provided which includes tab network connectors for interfacing groups of configurable function generators with lower levels of interconnect and for interfacing lower levels of interconnect with higher levels of interconnect. Furthermore, an innovative cluster architecture is utilized which provides fine granularity without a significant increase in configurable function generators. The tab connector network can also be used to route a lower level routing line to a higher level routing line. This is particularly desirable in order to meet the needs for driving a signal along longer routing lines without requiring all signal drivers be sufficiently large to drive a signal along the longest routing line. The connector networks described enable a flexible routing scheme to be implemented in which the routing lines at each level are divided into sets. In addition, the innovative routing hierarchy consisting of the routing lines, block connector tab networks and turn matrices, permits an innovative, space saving floor plan to be utilized that is scalable.
