Abstract
A reconfigurable circuit of reduced circuit scale. The reconfigurable circuit of the present invention comprises a plurality of ALUs capable of changing functions. The plurality of ALUs are arranged in a matrix. At least one connection unit capable of establishing connection between the ALUs selectively is provided between the stages of the ALUs. This connection unit is not intended to allow connection between all the logic circuits in adjoining stages, but is configured so that the logic circuits are each connectable with only some of the logic circuits pertaining to the other stages. The connection limitation allows a reduction in circuit scale.
