Abstract
A reconfigurable computing circuit for reducing the amount of dummy data to be stored in data registers, which is required when the wiring is shared by the configuration information bus and scan chain. When data is to be stored in data registers and configuration registers constituting the scan chain in reconfig computing block, reg setting data selecting unitselects either a value stored in reg setting data storage unitor an initial value output from data reg data generating unit, based on the information stored in reg type managing unitthat indicates the types of registers and the connection order of the registers in the scan chain, and outputs the selected value in sequence to the scan chain under control of scan/reconfig control unit. Each register in the scan chain then shifts data stored therein to the next register in the scan chain in sequence.
