Abstract

See full text

A programmable integrated circuit includes configuration circuitry configured to receive configurations of a user design for the programmable integrated circuit. Each of the configurations implements the user design using at least some unique circuitry in the programmable integrated circuit relative to the other ones of the configurations. The configuration circuitry is further configured to implement the user design in a first one of the configurations. The configuration circuitry is further configured to move the user design from the first one of the configurations to a second one of the configurations to cause effects of aging processes in circuits in the programmable integrated circuit that are not aged by the first one of the configurations.
