Semi-conductor integrated circuits/systems

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Configurable semiconductor integrated circuits as-made each have a plurality of logic circuits formed at discrete sites (10S). For each logic circuit direct selectably conducting/non-conducting connection paths (14A,B,C,F) extend from its output to input of a first set of other logic circuits and to its inputs from outputs of a second set of other logic circuits. All of the sets for all of the logic circuits are each different. Other direct connection paths (50R,50C) are selectably connectable to inputs (14D,E) and outputs (52G,H) of the logic circuits. Selection can be irreversible (Figure 8) or reversible (Figures 9 10, 11, 18) and involves coincident signal addressing (22R,C) of the …
