ABSTRACT:
A programmable cell and a multibit register composed of a plurality of such cells, specifically for performing a coincidence check between a certain code permanently recorded in the cell or cells and a logic configuration present on a pair or on a plurality of pairs of control lines are disclosed. Each cell has two branches connected in OR configuration to a common sensing line of the cell or of the multibit register. The logic states to be tested for coincidence are applied in a complemented form through a pair of lines to each cell, that is to the two branches of the cell. Each cell, permanently programmed in one or the other of its branches, intrinsically performs a comparison between its permanently programmed logic configuration and the configuration of the complemented control lines associated therewith. A great simplification is achieved in the overall circuitry of a redundance or reconfiguration system.
