Abstract
An integrated circuit comprises a matrix () of programmable cells (). Each particular one of the programmable cells () comprises a programmable logic circuit () and a bank () of routing multiplexers (-). Each routing multiplexer (-) in the bank () has a set of inputs connected to connections selected from a group consisting of connections to an output of the programmable logic circuit () and connections dedicated to outputs of routing multiplexers (-) in further ones of the programmable cells () other than the particular one of the programmable cells (). The further ones of the programmable cells () the inputs of the routing multiplexer (-) in the bank () are connected to are positioned relative to the particular one of the programmable cells () in the matrix () in neighboring cells () of the particular one of the programmable cells () and in cells () beyond the neighboring cells ().
