Abstract
An interconnect structure enables indirect routing in programmable logic. The structure includes a domain comprising a plurality of routing lines and an input line connected to a first routing line in the domain. A switch box is connected to the first routing line and is configured to indirectly connect the input line to the other routing lines in the domain. In some embodiments a domain includes programmable switches that are configured to connect a routing line of one domain to any routing line of the other domains.
