The C4 interconnects span four LABs or M4K blocks up or down from a
source LAB. Every LAB has its own set of C4 interconnects to drive either
up or down. Figure 11 shows the C4 interconnect connections from an
LAB in a column. The C4 interconnects can drive and be driven by all
types of architecture blocks, including PLLs, M4K memory blocks, and
column and row IOEs. For LAB interconnection, a primary LAB or its LAB
neighbor can drive a given C4 interconnect. C4 interconnects can drive
each other to extend their range as well as drive row interconnects for
column-to-column connections.
