A basic cell capable of a fixed operating frequency regardless of the
configuration information, which is also capable of effectively utilizing
the arithmetic logic circuit within the cell in a LSI semiconductor
integrated circuit, is capable of dynamic changes in configuration
information. The circuit has an input switch ISW connected to multiple
data input nodes, an output switch OSW connected to multiple data output
nodes, a first data path containing an arithmetic logic circuit ALU and a
result storage flip-flop CFF0 between the input switch ISW and output
switch OSW. The second data path containing a data transfer flip-flop
between an input switch ISW and an output switch OSW, and the result
storage flip-flop CFF stores the calculated result data from the
arithmetic logic circuit ALU, and the data transfer flip-flop holds data
input from any of the multiple data input nodes.
