Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit comprising programmable/configurable logic circuitry including a plurality of logic tiles, arranged in an array, wherein each logic tile includes logic circuitry and I/O connected in an interconnect network via multiplexers. A first logic tile includes (i) a first portion of a perimeter which forms at least a portion of the periphery of the programmable/configurable logic circuitry and (ii) a second portion of a perimeter which is interior to such circuitry's periphery, wherein memory I/O is disposed on the second portion of the perimeter of the first logic tile. A second logic tile includes a second portion of a perimeter which is interior to the programmable/configurable logic circuitry's periphery and opposes the first logic tile's perimeter. Memory array(s), located between the second portions of the perimeters of the first and second logic tiles, is/are coupled to memory I/O of at least the first logic tile.
