Integrated circuit having a programmable gate array and a field programmable gate array and methods of designing and manufacturing the same using testing IC before configuring FPGA
The present invention provides an integrated circuit (IC). In one embodiment, the IC includes a substrate and a plurality of gate array blocks located on the substrate. Each of the blocks includes a programmable gate array (PGA) containing at least a portion of a circuit design in an interconnect layer thereof, and a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) coupled to the PGA and capable of containing a configuration that augments the portion of the circuit design. In this embodiment, the PGA and the FPGA cooperate to effect the circuit design. In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of designing an IC. In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing ICs.
