The regular routing structure is coupled to the FGs and configured to receive the regular output signals, route signals within the first FPGA tile, and provide the regular input signals to the FGs. The routability of the regular routing structure is maximized by depositing switches according to designators. This novel designation method provides the same routability with approximately half the switches. Thus, further reduction in routing area is achieved.
