A configurable semi-conductor integrated circuit, with particular application as a re- configurable application specific device. In order to be able to rapidly switch between two or more, preferably several, configurations, the invention provides a configurable semi-conductor integrated circuit in which an area (1) thereof is formed with a plurality of cells (2) each having at least one function and interconnections with at least some other said cells (2). At least some of the plurality of cells have interconnections (25) which are electrically selectable as to their conduction state, and at least some of the plurality cells have interconnections (YA-YD) which are pre-wired. Each cell has two or more possible configurations, each configuration being defined by the cell function and/or its interconnection with other cells according to cell configuration data, and further comprising means (36, 38, 40) storing configuration data for at least two cell configurations (per cell) and means (30, 32, 34, 42, 48) to enable one of the possible cell configurations according to the cell configuration data selected.
