A multi-supply dual port register file is disclosed. The register file may be used for transferring data between two power domains that operate on different voltages or frequencies. The register file comprises a memory cell that stores the data transferred between the domains. The memory cell may be independently supplied by a reference voltage independent of that of the memory periphery. A write power domain write data to the memory cell in accordance with its operating voltage and frequency and an independent read power domain may read data from the memory cell in accordance with its independent operating voltage and frequency. The register file facilitates efficient crossing between the read and write power domains.

An efficient implementation of DSP functions in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) using one or more computational blocks, each block having of a multiplier, an accumulator, and multiplexers. The structure implements most common DSP equations in a fast and a highly compact manner. A novel method for cascading these blocks with the help of dedicated DSP lines is provided, which leads to a very simple and proficient implementation of n-stage MAC operations.

An improved interconnect structure in programmable devices gives a new dimension to the routing architecture, where architecture is divided into various domains. It includes at least one set of input lines, each set having predetermined number of input lines; an equal number of sets of routing lines, each set of routing lines being connected to a corresponding set of input lines using a switch box; thereby forming domain based routing structures, each domain being disjoint with the other domain. Segregating FPGA routing resources into various independent routing domains is done; each domain providing connectivity to route a signal to a set of sinks.

An interconnect structure enables indirect routing in programmable logic. The structure includes a plurality of routing lines, and switch box(es) and connection boxes coupled to the plurality of routing lines. The connection boxes include at least one programmable switch in each routing track. The position of the programmable switch(es) in each connection box connected to same interconnect matrix differs from the position of said programmable switch(es) in corresponding routing tracks of other connection boxes thereby utilizing the connectivity of said switch box for input connections and increasing the flexibility of connections.
