Routing makes all things possible
Intel. Not a FPGA but it illustrates the importance of routing.
▶
First layers above
gates/transistors form
logic blocks or logic
elements.
▶
The next layers support
configuration of the
blocks.
▶
The higher layers are
programmable
interconnects.
▶
Equal delays from to
“the” clock to the gates
are all important,in the
chip design and in
design with the chip.
