Patent number: 9972536Abstract: A reconfigurable device and an analog circuit are formed on a single chip so that the analog circuit can be controlled by the reconfigurable device. A reconfigurable semiconductor device (1) includes a plurality of logic sections (20) and an analog section (10). The plurality of logic sections (20) are connected to each other by an address line or a data line. The analog section (10) includes a plurality of input/output sections and an output amplifier. Each of the logic sections (20) includes a plurality of address lines, a plurality of data lines, a memory cell unit, and an address decoder that decodes an address signal and that outputs a decoded signal to the memory cell unit. The plurality of logic sections (20) and the analog section (10) are mounted in the same chip package.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD.Inventors: Hideaki Yoshida, Mitsunori Katsu, Hiroyuki Kozutsumi
