Abstract :
This paper lays foundations for an approach to on-chip row/column allocation that exploits certain properties offered by laterally connected networks of simple threshold devices. As a sample application, it is demonstrated how electronic implementations of these networks can be used as the basis for effective memory array repair systems that require little hardware overhead
