A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device includes a plurality of variable grain blocks (VGBs) and a plurality of interconnect lines for providing program-defined routing of signals between the VGBs. The VGBs include a plurality of L-organized CBBs (configurable logic blocks) having function-producing resources. Each CBB includes 6 term inputs, 2 control inputs and one direct connect output. Each CBB includes two configurable building elements having 3 term inputs and 1 control input, respectively. The plurality of interconnect lines includes a direct connect architecture for providing programmably-selectable, dedicated connections between a center VGB, in particular a CBB, and neighboring VGBs. The direct connect architecture and positioning of inputs and outputs enables 1) enhanced flexibility and efficiency in the configuration placement and routing software 2) efficiently emulates random logic nets and 3) reduces many direct connect line wire lengths.
