US Patent 7791974 Recovery of existing SRAM capacity from fused-out blocks

A system includes an interconnect within an integrated circuit, and a first fuse-disabled design block within the integrated circuit that has an internal static random access memory (SRAM). The first fuse-disabled design block is coupled to the interconnect. The system also includes a memory controller that is coupled to the interconnect. The memory controller is capable of selecting the internal SRAM and allocating the internal SRAM for storage accessible by one or more devices external to the first fuse-disabled integrated peripheral.
