A re-programmable , universal interconnect array, with 1024 pins and over 1 million transistors is fabricated with 0 . 8~ triplemetal CMOS technology. Unlike the conventional cross-point switches based on decoding/multiplexing architecture, this chip utilizes a routing architecture which allows an order of magnitude higher pin connectivity with random connections of any number of pins to any other pin. Paths are passive and bidirectional with typical pin-to-piadelay of less than 7NS. This chip also supports optional battery backup.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
