Publication number: 20140062526Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide a resilient integrated circuit. An exemplary IC comprises a plurality of composite circuit elements, a state machine element (SME), and a plurality of communication elements. Each composite circuit element comprises an element interface and a selected circuit element which may vary by element type, and which may be configurable. The state machine element assigns various functions based on element type, such as assigning a first configuration to a first element type, assigning a second configuration to a second element type, and providing a first data link for the corresponding assignments. In response to detection of a fault or failure, the state machine element re-assigns the first configuration to another composite circuit element and creates a second data link for performance of the same function.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Inventors: Steven Hennick Kelem, Jaime C. Cummins, John L. Watson, Robert Plunkett, Stephen L. Wasson, Brian A. Box, Enno Wein, Charles A. Furciniti
