Abstract
A dynamically reconfigurable circuit, method and computer program product, includes a photoconductive layer responsive to light, wherein the photoconductive layer modifies an electrical conductivity thereof in accordance with a pattern of light projected onto the photoconductive layer; a digital light processing (DLP) module configured to project the pattern of light onto the photoconductive layer, wherein the light is selectively patterned to reconfigure circuit pathways within the photoconductive layer; and a memory coupled to the DLP module, the memory configured to store configuration data and instructions for controlling the light patterns projected by the DLP module.
Claims18
A dynamically reconfigurable circuit, the circuit comprising:
- a photoconductive layer responsive to light, wherein the photoconductive layer modifies an electrical conductivity thereof in accordance with a pattern of light projected onto the photoconductive layer;
- a digital light processing (DLP) module configured to project the pattern of light onto the photoconductive layer, wherein the light is selectively patterned to reconfigure circuit pathways within the photoconductive layer;
- and
- a memory coupled to the DLP module, the memory configured to store configuration data and instructions for controlling the light patterns projected by the DLP module.
A method for dynamically reconfiguring circuits, the method comprising:
- modifying an electrical conductivity of a photoconductive layer responsive to light in accordance with a pattern of light projected onto the photoconductive layer;
- projecting with a digital light processing (DLP) module the pattern of light onto the photoconductive layer, and selectively patterning the light to reconfigure circuit pathways within the photoconductive layer;
- and
- storing on a memory coupled to the DLP module configuration data and instructions, and controlling the light patterns projected by the DLP module.
A computer program product for dynamically reconfiguring circuits, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of:
- modifying an electrical conductivity of a photoconductive layer responsive to light in accordance with a pattern of light projected onto the photoconductive layer;
- projecting with a digital light processing (DLP) module the pattern of light onto the photoconductive layer, and selectively patterning the light to reconfigure circuit pathways within the photoconductive layer;
- and
- storing on a memory coupled to the DLP module configuration data and instructions, and controlling the light patterns projected by the DLP module.
