Abstract
A programmable device, having an analog component coupled with an analog bus and a digital component coupled with a digital bus together with a set of 10 pads, each of which capable of being coupled to a bus line of one segment of the analog bus as well as to at least one digital bus line, and where the analog bus is capable of being used to connect a pair of the pads to each other.
Claims5
An integrated circuit comprising:
- a plurality of configurable components, the plurality of configurable components comprising:
- a first set of configurable analog components, and
- a second set of configurable digital components;
- a routing fabric coupled to the plurality of configurable components, the routing fabric comprising:
- a plurality of first analog switches for connection to the first set of configurable analog components, and
- a plurality of second digital switches for connection to the second set of configurable digital components;
- a plurality of GPIO pads coupled to the routing fabric, the routing fabric for coupling at least two of the configurable components and at least one of the plurality of GPIO pads;
- and
- a control circuit to define a configuration of the routing fabric.
