A method and apparatus are disclosed for programming a fixed array of identical logic modules to generate an arbitrary sequential switching function. In particular, an array is provided which includes an ordered arrangement of columns of modules, each module having a plurality of input leads and at least one output lead. By completing electrical paths between the output leads of selected ones of the modules in a given column with the inputs of modules in the adjacent column, the array is tailored to produce the desired function. The connections are specified by an interconnection algorithm which is based on factors of the desired switching function and which is chosen to eliminate crossovers among the connecting paths. |
