With the object of enabling a redundancy relieving circuit to be adapted even to a high frequency operation, wirings each having a fuse are disposed in parallel with wirings for determining signals outputted from switch activating circuits.

A layout resizes intelligently without complexity. Objects or elements are attached to a virtual grid of row and column gridlines, which are defined separately. The relationship between the objects and the grid is bi-directional so that moving one (gridline or object) will affect the other (object or gridline). In other words, expanding/collapsing the object will push the gridlines, and moving the...
