A Novel Structure of Embryonics Electronic Cell Array

Based on the classic embryonics electronic cell array structure, a novel structure of embryonic electronic cell array is proposed. The connections between cells are subdivided into local connection mode and remote connection mode. Cell is directly connected to its eight surrounding neighbor electronic cells in local connection mode. In remote connection mode, the signal between nonadjacent electronic cells transmits via the cooperation of switch boxes in electronic cells. By extending the connections between the electronic cells, the width of the switch box in each electronic cell is reduced and the length of gene configured connection is shorted with the ensuring connectivity between electronic cells. The self-repair ability of the proposed embryonics electronic cell array is verified through the simulation realization of a circuit.
