The C4 interconnects span four LABs, M4K blocks, or embedded
multipliers up or down from a source LAB. Every LAB has its own set of
C4 interconnects to drive either up or down. Figure 2–10 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, embedded multiplier blocks, and column
and row IOEs. For LAB interconnection, a primary LAB or its LAB
neighbor (see Figure 2–10) 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.
