ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device is equipped with a series of data handling stages, at least one of which includes a plurality of functional blocks arranged in parallel, a connecting means for connecting the functional blocks to functional blocks in a subsequent data handling stage, and a detection means for detecting data flow along a first connection in the connecting means. The detection means is included within a control means which controls data flow through at least one other connection in the connecting means based on the detection of data flow through the first connection in the connecting means. In a second embodiment, the semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a plurality of functional blocks arranged in a series for handling data along the series, a connecting means for handling data flow between at least two of the functional blocks, a data detecting means for detecting data flow along a selected connection in the connecting means, and for controlling data flow along another connection in the connecting means based on the detection of data flow through the selected connection.
