C16 column interconnects span a length of 16 LABs and provide the fastest resource
for long column connections between LABs, TriMatrix memory blocks, DSP blocks,
and IOEs. C16 interconnects can cross M-RAM blocks and also drive to row and
column interconnects at every fourth LAB. C16 interconnects drive LAB local
interconnects via C4 and R4 interconnects and do not drive LAB local interconnects
directly. All embedded blocks communicate with the logic array similar to
LAB-to-LAB interfaces. Each block (that is, TriMatrix memory and DSP blocks)
connects to row and column interconnects and has local interconnect regions driven
by row and column interconnects. These blocks also have direct link interconnects for
fast connections to and from a neighboring LAB. All blocks are fed by the row LAB
clocks, labclk[5..0].
