1. An integrated circuit (IC) comprising:

  • a particular arrangement of circuits for configurably performing a set of logic functions, the particular arrangement of circuits comprising;

    a set of configurable logic circuits for performing set of logic functions as determined by configuration data;

    a set of configurable interconnect circuits for configurably routing signals between the particular arrangement of circuits; and

    a set of user interconnect circuits each for performing a logic function based on user signals, wherein each user interconnect circuit comprises an input terminal set for receiving a first set of user signals from configurable logic circuits, a select terminal set for receiving a second set of user signals from configurable logic circuits, and an output terminal set for outputting a subset of the first set of user signals based on the received second set of user signals, wherein at least one select terminal of at least one user interconnect circuit'"'"'s select terminal set couples to a configurable interconnect circuit that configurably connects the select terminal to an output terminal of a configurable logic circuit.
