quadrants, especially to the quadrant in the opposite
corner. The two types of interquad blocks, vertical and
horizontal, are pitch matched to PICs. Vertical inter-
quad blocks (vIQ) run between quadrants on the left
S and right, while horizontal interquad blocks (hIQ) run
so local routing is the same, whether PLC-PLC con-
nections cross quadrants or not. There are no connec-
tions to the local lines in the interquad blocks. Figure 28
presents a (not to scale) view of interquad routing.
