Abstract
Disclosed is a fault repair apparatus capable of reducing time which fault repair processing needs. The fault repair apparatus according to an exemplary aspect of the invention includes, a detection unit that detects a fault in the integrated circuit being equipped with a memory storing configuration data (config-data), and a circuit element whose logic operation is defined by the config-data; and outputs fault information; a memory unit that memorizes a fault area specification table which correlates whether or not a description in the config-data related to the fault information exists in any of memory areas to identification information which identifies the memory area; a specification unit that specifies a failed memory area from the fault information and the fault area specification table; and a correction unit that, about the config-data stored in the failed memory area, detects and corrects error data which does not agree with an expected value.
