1. An integrated circuit (IC) comprising: a plurality of reconfigurable circuits, each reconfigurable circuit for reconfigurably performing a plurality of different operations; wherein at least a first reconfigurable circuit receives a periodic reconfiguration signal that has a plurality of values during a design cycle of the IC, wherein an order of said values are different for at least two different design cycles, wherein the first reconfigurable circuit reconfigures at a first reconfiguration rate and does not always follow a same sequential progression through the plurality of operations.
