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 block2010, reg setting data selecting unit3400selects either a value stored in reg setting data storage unit3000or an initial value output from data reg data generating unit4000, based on the information stored in reg type managing unit1100that 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 unit1000. Each register in the scan chain then shifts data stored therein to the next register in the scan chain in sequence.
