    摘要: A reconfigurable device includes a plurality of function cells and a programmable interconnect network which programmably connects the function cells. The programmable interconnect network includes horizontal programmable interconnect ways and vertical programmable interconnect ways. Each horizontal programmable interconnect way includes a short horizontal programmable interconnect channel and a long horizontal programmable interconnect channel, and each vertical programmable interconnect way includes a short vertical programmable interconnect channel and a long vertical programmable interconnect channel. In the horizontal programmable interconnect way, both the short horizontal programmable interconnect channel and the long horizontal programmable interconnect channel are constructed to have “shift structure”, thereby “sector segmentation” and problems related to the sector segmentation are avoided. The function cells are directly connected to the short horizontal programmable interconnect channel, but are not directly connected to the long horizontal programmable interconnect channel, therefore, signal transfer of input/output signals between the function cell and the long horizontal programmable interconnect channel is conducted necessarily through the short horizontal programmable interconnect channel and a programmable switch, thereby load capacitance on the long horizontal programmable interconnect channel is reduced and thereby high-speed signal transfer is realized.

    摘要: A reconfigurable device test scheme is provided for making a test of a reconfigurable device with configuration data which is loaded a smaller number of times. A reconfigurable device used herein holds a plurality of configuration data and is capable of instantaneously switching which configuration is implemented thereby. Specifically, one transfer configuration data and one or more test configuration data are previously loaded in a configuration memory of the reconfigurable device, and a test is made while sequentially switching the transfer configuration data and the test configuration data. In this way, the same configuration data need not be reloaded over and over, so that the test can be made with a smaller number of times of loading as compared with before.
