Integrated circuit with a matrix of programmable logic cells

摘要

An integrated circuit has a matrix of programmable cells. Programmable switches connect pairs of neighboring cells. Each cell contains a local conductor connecting a pair of the switches on opposite sides of the cell. Each switch connects the local conductors of the neighboring cells. At least one of the cells have a computation logic circuit having either an input connected to the local conductor of the at least one of the cells. The computation logic circuit has programmably individually activatable outputs connected to the local conductors of neighbor cells of the at least one of the cells or an output connected to the local conductor of the at least one of the cells and programmably individually activatable inputs connected to the local conductors of neighbor cells of the at least one of the cells.
