Abstract: A method for routing a design may comprise receiving a design for implementing in a target device, wherein the design includes an input/output (I/O) signal of a functional block, and wherein the functional block is assigned to a physical component of the target device; based on the design and on a routing resource graph representing the target device, calculating a route including the physical component and a physical pin of the target device; and assigning the physical pin of the target device to the I/O signal based on the calculated route.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of configuring a programmable analog routing system to make connections between analog functional blocks of an integrated circuit are described. A programmable analog routing system includes a first set of wires and switch sets of programmable connections coupled to a second set of wires. The programmable connections are configured to make at least one of a direct connection between two of the analog functional blocks using the second set of wires or a connection between one of the second set of wires and one of the first set of wires.
