Zusammenfassung:A programmable logic device uses power island based design partitioning. Each power islands includes a plurality of programmable logic cells and a programmable routing network configurable to interconnect the plurality of programmable logic cells and configurable to interconnect with at least one other power island. When a power island is in an OFF state, the programmable logic cells within the power island are powered OFF. Feed-through routing connectors in the power island, however, may be statically or dynamically powered ON independently of the powered OFF state of the power island.
