ABSTRACT:
A configurable device uses a plurality of parallel units which are made up of cells for storing individual bits of information. These cells are identified by address signals and selected to be interrogated. The selected cells are interrogated to determine information stored therein and a signal is produced which corresponds to that information. If a nonfunctional cell is detected within a parallel unit, that parallel unit may be decoupled from the interrogator. The remainder of the parallel units are shifted to different interrogators thereby effectively eliminating use of the decoupled parallel unit which contains the nonfunctional cell.
