Abstract
A reconfigurable circuit according to an embodiment includes: first wiring lines; second wiring lines crossing the first wiring lines; resistive change elements disposed in intersection regions of the first and second wiring lines, each of the resistive change elements including a first terminal connected to the one of the first wiring lines and a second terminal connected to the one of the second wiring lines, and being switchable between a low-resistance state and a high-resistance state; a first control circuit controlling a voltage to be applied to the first wiring lines; a second control circuit controlling a voltage to be applied to the second wiring lines; and current limiting elements corresponding to the second wiring lines, and controlling current flowing through the resistive change elements connected to the corresponding second wiring line.
