Abstract
An exemplary interconnect circuit for a programmable integrated circuit (IC) includes an input terminal coupled to receive from a node in the programmable IC, an output terminal coupled to transmit towards another node in the programmable IC, first and second control terminals coupled to receive from a memory cell of the programmable IC, and a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) pass-gate coupled between the input terminal and the output terminal and to the first and second control terminals. The CMOS pass-gate includes a P-channel transistor configured with a low threshold voltage for a CMOS process used to fabricate the programmable IC.
