Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising an FPGA including programmable/configurable logic circuitry having a periphery, wherein resources (e.g., memory (e.g., high-speed local RAM), one or more busses, and/or circuitry external to the FPGA (e.g., a processor, a controller and/or system/external memory), is/are disposed outside the periphery of the programmable/configurable logic circuitry which includes a plurality of logic tiles, wherein at least one logic tile is located completely within the interior of the periphery and wherein each logic tile of the array of logic tiles includes a plurality of I/Os located on the perimeter of the logic tile wherein a first portion of the I/Os are located on a perimeter of the logic tile that is interior to the periphery, and the first portion of I/Os of each logic tile of the plurality of the logic tiles are directly connected to the bus to provide communication between the resources and the logic tiles.

Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising a first memory array and programmable/configurable logic circuitry including a plurality of logic tiles wherein each logic tile includes a perimeter, a plurality of external I/O disposed in an I/O layout on the perimeter, wherein the I/O layout of each tile is identical. Each external I/O is configurable as an external I/O to connect to and communicate with external circuitry, or a memory I/O to point-to-point connect to memory located adjacent thereto, or an unused I/O. The first memory array is physically adjacent to a first logic tile on a first portion of the perimeter of the first logic tile which is interior to the periphery of the programmable/configurable logic circuitry, and point-to-point connected to the memory I/O. In operation, circuitry of the first logic tile is configured to read data from and write data to the first memory array via the memory I/O.

Abstract: 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.
