Abstract:
1. A programmable logic circuit comprising: a plurality of unit logic circuits connected in parallel; an input signal control section that supplies input signals received from outside to the plurality of unit logic circuits; and an output signal control section that supplies output signals of the plurality of unit logic circuits to outside, each of the plurality of unit logic circuits comprising: a logic operation section that performs predetermined logic operation on the input signals and generates data, said logic operation section having functions that are changeable based on first setting information; a storage section that stores the first and second setting information; and a memory control section that takes control by receiving jump setting information, reading out either the first or the second setting information of the storage section based on the jump setting information and providing the setting information to the logic operation circuit and the data processing section, wherein each of the plurality of unit logic circuits sequentially changes some or all of the functions of the logic operation section and the data processing section based on the first and second setting information read out sequentially from the storage section and carries out predetermined operations of a sequential circuit.
