Virtex™-II Platform FPGAs: Detailed Description
Active Interconnect Technology
Local and global Virtex-II routing resources are optimized for speed and timing predictability, as well as to facilitate IP cores
implementation. Virtex-II Active Interconnect Technology is a fully buffered programmable routing matrix. All routing
resources are segmented to offer the advantages of a hierarchical solution. Virtex-II logic features like CLBs, IOBs, block
RAM, multipliers, and DCMs are all connected to an identical switch matrix for access to global routing resources, as shown
in Figure 47.
