A reconfigurable system [Fig. 1] is arranged to have separate control and the data paths. The control path is set up using fabric units [24, Fig. 1] which use an associated state machine [42, Fig. 2] to produce an address to a functional unit memory [44, Fig. 2]. The functional unit memory [44, Fig. 2] then produces the configuration data for the functional units [46, Fig. 2]. The use of a state machine [42, Fig. 2] allows for a very dense, highly-sequenceable control unit that provides an encoded state to a memory [44, Fig. 2] which then allow a high number of control terms which results in a more linear interconnection to the data path units [46, Fig. 2].
