APEX 20KC Programmable Logic Device Data Sheet
■
Advanced interconnect structure
–
–
Copper interconnect for high performance
Four-level hierarchical FastTrack® interconnect structure
providing fast, predictable interconnect delays
Dedicated carry chain that implements arithmetic functions such
as fast adders, counters, and comparators (automatically used by
software tools and megafunctions)
–
–
–
Dedicated cascade chain that implements high-speed,
high-fan-in logic functions (automatically used by software tools
and megafunctions)
Interleaved local interconnect allows one LE to drive 29 other
LEs through the fast local interconnect
