This paper presents a new Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) architecture which reduces the density gap between FPGAs and Mask-Programmed Gate Arrays (MPGAs) for datapath oriented circuits. This is primarily achieved by operating on data as a number of identically programmed four-bit slices. The interconnection network incorporates distinct sets of resources for routing control and data signals. These features reduce circuit area by sharing programming bits among four-bit slices, reducing the total number of storage cells required.
