Abstract
A device for reconfiguring faults in a circuit comprised of several units and comprising storage means for storing the fault locations, connection/disconnection means for disconnecting faulty units and connecting in their place fault-free units, and means for generating control signals of the connection/disconnection means, responding to the content of the storage means. According to this method, each unit is divided into several portions; in a test phase, fault tests are carried out for the different units, and the test results of the different portions of the units are stored in the storage means; and in a use phase aiming at the use of given unit portions, said control signals are determined by the content of the storage means corresponding to these unit portions.
