Benefits of technology
"The present invention relates to a reconfigurable circuit with redundant reconfigurable clusters, which can be used to replace defective elements with redundant elements to improve yield and reliability. The invention provides a solution for addressing the problems of manufacturing yield and pre-mature partial operational failure that have plagued reconfigurable circuits for many years. The invention offers a cost-effective solution for ASIC development and ensures correctness through emulation. The technical effects of the invention include improved yield and reliability of reconfigurable circuits, reduced cost of ASIC development, and improved emulation accuracy."
Problems solved by technology
In turn, because of the inherent large size, manufacturing yield and pre-mature partial operational failure have been persistent problems for the reconfigurable circuit manufacturers and users.
Both of these techniques incur a significant cost during the fabrication process and give no guarantee regarding the possibility of failures at any time during the lifetime of the component.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to the field of reconfigurable circuits; in particular, to a reconfigurable circuit with redundant reconfigurable cluster(s), and its applications.BACKGROUND[0002]Reconfigurable circuits are circuit devices that may be reconfigured through programming to realize a variety of different functions, so long as the complexities of the desired functions are not too high. An example of the reconfigurable circuits is the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuit. Typically, 20 to 50 transistors of a reconfigurable circuit are required to implement each transistor of a target function. As a result, reconfigurable circuits tend to be the largest circuits for each generation of integrated circuit technology. In turn, because of the inherent large size, manufacturing yield and pre-mature partial operational failure have been persistent problems for the reconfigurable circuit manufacturers and users.[0003]Nonetheless, reconfigurable circuits ...
