Abstract
Circuitry accepts an input signal and distributes the input signal to a plurality of locations within the circuitry. The circuitry includes a first circuit element and a second circuit element. The circuitry further includes a first plurality of wire segments that are substantially aligned to form a first bundle, and include a first wire segment. The circuitry further includes a second plurality of wire segments that are substantially aligned to form a second bundle, and have a second wire segment. An intersection element of the first bundle and the second bundle includes a first interconnecting wire segment that connects the first wire segment and the second wire segment, and the input signal is routed from the first wire segment to the second wire segment via the first interconnecting wire segment. The input signal is further transmitted to the second element from the second wire segment.
