Abstract

An electronic assembly has a substrate with several conductive tracks and with a switching matrix within the thickness of the substrate. Several groups of identical integrated circuits are mounted on the substrate, one circuit from each group being operatively connected into the assembly by the switching matrix. A processor detects malfunction of a circuit and controls the switching matrix to disconnect that circuit and operatively connect into the assembly an alternative circuit from the same group.
