A steering fabric routes signals to and within macropads, such that a subset of the micropads in the array can be configured to transmit the signal to a receiving component. Each macropad receives a limited number of input signals, with the steering fabric routing input signals to the micropads of the macropads. By limiting the number of input signals that are routed to the micropads of the macropads, the steering fabric eliminates redundant steering configurations for the array and reduces the power needed to transmit the signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventors: Alex Chow, Robert J.
