Internal bus system for dfps, building blocks with two dimensional or multidimensional programmable cell structures to handle large amounts of data involving high networking requirements

摘要

The bus system has a number of electrically independent bus segments separated via nodes. The nodes actively combine or isolate bus segments. Segments can be combined either via gates on a bus within the nodes or directly via switching elements, drivers and/or registers. Each node has a routing table in which information about setting up the connection is stored. Each node has a monitoring unit which automatically checks whether a connection can be made or not.
