  • Programmable gate array with special interconnects for adjacent gates and isolation devices used during programming
    Patent number: 5428304
    Abstract: Programmable circuitry (10) is provided including a plurality of logic modules (12) each having at least one input conductor (16). A nearest neighbor conductor (36) is fusibly coupled to output circuitry (25) of a selected logic module (12), the nearest neighbor conductor (36) intersecting the input conductor (16) of a nearest neighbor logic module (12). A fuse (40) disposed at the intersection of the nearest neighbor conductor (36) and the input conductor (16) of the nearest neighbor logic module (12) is provided for selectively establishing electrical coupling therebetween.
