Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Non-Recurring engineering cost including photo-mask cost increases with LSI process minimization. We have been studied via programmable logic architecture “VPEX” which can configure arbitrary logic functions by changing 3 via layers with other common layers. The latest VPEX architecture named “VPEX3” has a problem of large area penalty because of the wire congestion. In addition, the rising and falling transition time of configured D-FF is slow compared to that of ASIC. In the new architecture named “VPEX4”, the size of Logic Element (LE) is increased for implementing rich wiring resources. In addition, VPEX4 has modified the structure of DFF. In this paper, we have compared the performance between VPEX3 and 4 using Design Compiler as logic synthesis tool and Placer and Router CAD dedicated for VPEX. On the other hand, delay time of DFF is verified using Cadence’s Spectre. Consequently, the area of VPEX4 was greatly decreased than that of VPEX3 in the large benchmark circuits. On the other hand, delay time and power consumption of VPEX4 is as small as that of VPEX3. Concerning about the speed performance of DFF, the rising and falling time is decreased in the VPEX4 architecture.
