Abstract
According to an embodiment, a reconfigurable semiconductor integrated circuit includes memories connected in parallel, a logic circuit whose logic is defined according to data output of one of the memories, a signal output unit, and a switching unit. The signal output unit includes output terminals corresponding to the respective memories. Each terminal outputs a selection signal for enabling the data output or a non-selection signal for disabling the data output to the logic circuit. The signal output unit is configured to output the selection signal in a cyclic manner over the terminals so that one terminal outputs the selection signal and the others output the non-selection signal. The switching unit is configured to set a route between a first output terminal and a second output terminal of the terminals to an open state or a closed state. The route bypasses at least a single output terminal.
