    摘要: Part or all of an instruction decoder is constructed of a first reconfigurable circuit wherein a circuit structure thereof can be changed according to an external signal. Further, a second reconfigurable circuit which is connected to output side of a register file as part of processing unit and wherein a circuit structure thereof can be changed according to an external signal is preliminarily provided. For special use, to achieve a predetermined operating function, the second reconfigurable circuit is reconstructed by the external signal. Further, a particular instruction corresponding to the predetermined operating function is set, and the first reconfigurable circuit is so reconstructed by an external signal that when the particular instruction is inputted, a corresponding control signal is outputted. When the particular instruction is executed, the first reconfigurable circuit outputs a control signal and the second reconfigurable circuit executes the predetermined operating function by that control signal.

    摘要: An integrated circuit has configurable logic blocks that are reconfigurable, hard-wired logic blocks that carry out fixed operations, and a memory. The memory stores configuration data for configuring the configurable logic blocks, block-connection data for determining connections between the configurable and hard-wired logic blocks, and partial-circuit-connection data for determining connections between partial circuits each of which consists of logic blocks selected among the configurable and hard-wired logic blocks. These pieces of data are shared by the logic blocks to reduce the number of memories in the integrated circuit and improve the packaging density of the integrated circuit.

    摘要: A reconfigurable circuit is reconstructed to three or more operating circuit blocks. Upon testing, the same data is inputted to each of the reconstructed operating circuit blocks. A majority circuit formed in the reconfigurable circuit compares results of operations of the operating circuit blocks and outputs information indicating which of the operating circuit blocks is in trouble.

    摘要: A reconfigurable circuit wherein part or all of an instruction or a result of decoding thereof and output of said register file are inputted and a circuit structure thereof can be changed by an external signal is provided. If a bug occurs when part or all of the instruction or the result of decoding thereof and the output of the register file satisfy a particular condition, the reconfigurable circuit is reconstructed by an external signal so as to output a first signal under that particular condition. An interrupt control circuit controls a processing unit so as to carry out processing based on the first signal or processing to avoid the bug when the first signal is inputted.
