This invention discloses a cell forming part of a customizable logic array device, the cell including at least first () and second multiplexers, each having a select input and an output, at least two inverters (), each having an input and an output, and electrical connections (), selectably connecting the output of the first multiplexer to either the select input of the second multiplexer or to the at least two inverters. A customizable logic array device including a plurality of cells, each cell including at least first and second multiplexers is also disclosed. The invention additionally discloses a cell forming part of a customizable logic array device, the cell including a pair of identical logic portion located on opposite sides of a driver portion. The driver portion includes at least two drivers, each having an input and an output. The pair of identical logic portions including at least one multiplexer () having a select input and an output, at least one inverter () having an input and an output and at least one NAND gate () having two inputs and an output. Preferably the cell also includes electrical connections, selectably connecting each output of each element of the cell to any other input or output of any other element of the same cell, preferably at the same metal layer.

Configurable cell for customizable logic array device

A customizable integrated circuit including a substrate, a plurality of logic units formed on the substrate and a plurality of metal routing layers formed on the substrate for interconnecting the plurality of logic units. The plurality of metal routing layers includes a first routing layer including a plurality of elongate conductors extending generally in a given direction, a second routing layer including a plurality of transversely extending conductors, each adapted for interconnecting a termination of one of the plurality of elongate conductors to a beginning of another one of the plurality of elongate conductors and at least a third routing layer, including a plurality of local routing conductors, a plurality of customizable connections between pairs of the plurality of elongate conductors via individual ones of the plurality of transversely extending conductors and customizable connections between individual elongate conductors and a plurality of individual local routing conductors.
