    摘要: A fully self-sufficient configurable spare gate cell that has two types of inputs: a functional input bus and an equation input bus, whereby the spare gate cell can be transformed into any sum of product operator by the assertion of certain signals to the equation input bus. In a spare state, the functional input buses are connected to an area of pre-defined logic where the need for bug fixes are high. Thus, the spare cell would be automatically placed close to the bug-fix area during the place-and-route phase of chip design, thereby reducing the need to look for routing channels.

    摘要: A programmable logic array integrated circuit has a number of programmable logic modules which are grouped together in a plurality of logic array blocks (nullLABsnull). The LABs are arranged on the circuit in a two dimensional array. A conductor network is provided for interconnecting any logic module with any other logic module. In addition, adjacent or nearby logic modules are connectable to one another for such special purposes as providing a carry chain between logic modules and/or for connecting two or more modules together to provide more complex logic functions without having to make use of the general interconnection network. Another network of so-called fast or universal conductors is provided for distributing widely used logic signals such as clock and clear signals throughout the circuit. Multiplexers can be used in various ways to reduce the number of programmable interconnections required between signal conductors.

    摘要: An interconnection architecture for programmable logic devices (PLDs) is presented in which heterogeneous interconnect resources can be programmably connected to function blocks in accordance with two or more operational parameters, such as, for example, signal propagation speed, circuit area, signal routing flexibility, and PLD reliability. Programmable interconnect resources include unbalanced multiplexers, different types of interface buffers, and signal wires of different widths and different wire-to-wire spacings.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for segmenting lines in programmable logic devices having redundancy circuitry. A programmable logic device includes a first plurality of logic array blocks. The first plurality of logic array blocks includes a first logic array block and a second logic array block, a first programmable interconnect line coupled to a segmentation buffer and programmably coupled to the first logic array block, and a second programmable interconnect line coupled to the segmentation buffer and programmably coupled to the second logic array block. The segmentation buffer is capable of selectively providing an open circuit between the first programmable interconnect line and the second programmable interconnect line, a buffer driving signals from the first programmable interconnect line to the second programmable interconnect line, or a buffer driving signals from the second programmable interconnect line to the first programmable interconnect line.
