Patent ID: 7933144

Claim:
A component with a logic circuit arrangement with configurable functionality, comprising a plurality of data lines ( 7 ), at least a portion of the data lines ( 7 ) being assigned at least one element ( 1 ) that can be switched between two states with different discrete resistances, by means of which element ( 1 ) the data line ( 7 ) is enabled or inhibited depending on the switched state, it being possible for the switching state of the element ( 1 ) to be stored in nonvolatile fashion and to be changed over rapidly, wherein i) the element is connected to a gate of a pass transistor ( 8 ), the pass transistor is connected into the data line ( 7 ) and is inhibited or enabled by means of the element ( 1 ), or ii) the element ( 1 ) itself is used as a pass transistor that enables or inhibits the data line ( 7 ), with the element ( 1 ) connected directly into the data line and directly opening or inhibiting the latter, or iii) the element is connected in parallel with the data line and short-circuits the latter or behaves in transparent fashion.
