Switch Block Midpoints
Consider two switch blocks, both
with same (disjoint) endpoint pattern:
- midpoint switch blocks with no diversity
- same midpoint pattern everywhere
- track t connects to track t
- different global routes reach same track
- midpoint switch blocks with diversity
- same midpoint pattern everywhere
- track t connects to track t+1
- different global routes reach different track
- example: reaches 3 different tracks
- note: can also use different midpoint pattern
along length of wire (see next slide)
