An integrated circuit includes an array of interconnected programmable logic elements () each logic element performing data processing control by a configuration. The logic elements may be part of a field programmable gate array. Embedded within the array are a plurality of dedicated communication interface circuits () providing access to one or more shared communication channels () to provide intra-array communication. Communication transactions between functional unit () are multiplexed (e.g. time-division-multiplexed) together to share a shared communication channel provided within the array.
