Abstract
A logic circuit apparatus that allocates process capability to unit circuits operated in a time divisional manner, including a circuit arrangement information memory which stores circuit arrangement information corresponding to each of plurality of unit circuits, and a programmable logic circuit with a circuit arrangement which can be reconfigured by employing the circuit arrangement information while the programmable logic circuit is being operated, a process data memory which stores both input data and output data related to a process operation of each of the circuits, and a controller which monitors a storage amount of the input data and/or a storage amount of the output data corresponding to each unit circuit, and which controls reconfiguration of the circuit arrangement of the programmable logic circuit when the storage amount satisfies a certain condition.
