Integrated circuit, memory device, method of operating an integrated circuit, and method of designing an integrated circuit

摘要

An integrated circuit, a memory device, a method of operating an integrated circuit and a method of designing an integrated circuit are provided. An integrated circuit comprises a plurality of logical elements and a bus carrying signals for said plurality of logical elements. The integrated circuit also comprises a routing unit having an input coupled to said bus and a plurality of outputs to route signals received at said input to at least one of said outputs. The integrated circuit also comprises a plurality of lines coupled to said plurality of outputs to conduct said signals from said routing unit to at least one of said plurality of logical elements, wherein at least one of said plurality of lines couples said routing unit to only one of said logical elements.
