PURPOSE: To change the decoding function, by constituting intersecting points in a decoder having a decoding funtion of N-MOSs and storage elemnts, determining the pattern of divisions from the information planted in the storage elements, and installing a data line and a control line to be used for planting.
CONSTITUTION: An address is inputted from an address input line 21 as a pair of signals Ae and -Ae. On all intersecting points 25, etc., of the address input line 21 and line 23, etc., N-MOSs 24, etc., are formed and they are grounded through another N-MOS 26. The gate of the N-MOS 26 is a storage element and connected to a latch circuit composed of four MOSs 27W30. The latch circuit holds input signal values from a line 31, and outputs an inverting signal. Information is written in the storage element by using a data line 33 and write controlling lines 34W36. In this way, the decoding function is optionally changed when the information in the storage element in the decoder is rewritten.
