Device comprising an array of electronic elements, based on diagonal line routing

A method of accessing electronic field elements of an array consisting of rows and columns in the form of a matrix, where access is in each case made simultaneously to all field elements along access lines which run in zigzag fashion along diagonals of the array and at each turning point connects two field elements from the same border column and two successive rows.

A device comprising an array of electronic field elements, said array consisting of tows and columns in the form of a matrix comprising first and second portions of electronic field elements, wherein

• a first subset of field elements is connected to precisely one access line among a set of several access lines,
• the access line runs in zigzag fashion along a diagonal of the array and at each turning point connects two field elements from a same border column and two successive tows, and
• a second set of access lines passing though the first portion of the array of field elements in a column direction without making contact with the field elements comprising the first portion.
