    摘要: Method and apparatus for an interface to a system monitor (1600) is described. A controller (102) accessible via a port interface thereof (110) is configured for read/write access to configuration memory cells (1500) and for read access to status registers (1602). The configuration memory cells (1500) are addressable via a first address space, and the status registers (1602) are addressable via a second address space different from the first address space. The port interface (110) is configured to receive a plurality of signals including a data address signal (124) and a data clock signal (121). The data address signal (124) has address information for accessing either the first address space or the second address space.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for multiplexing various voltage magnitudes onto the address line of a memory cell. An address line voltage generator applies complex analog voltage magnitudes to a memory cell address line during Power On Reset (POR) to insure proper memory cell initialization during power up. Once initialized, read and write address select signals are level shifted to be equal to or greater than the read and write voltage magnitudes applied to the memory cell address line to ensure proper operation.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for dynamic configuration of function block logic of an integrated circuit is described. The integrated circuit includes a reconfiguration port coupled to a controller. The controller is coupled to an array of memory cell. A portion of the array of memory cells is coupled for read/write communication with the controller, and another portion of the array of memory cells is not coupled for read/write communication with the controller. The portion of the array of memory cells is configurable at an operational frequency of the integrated circuit for dynamic reconfiguration of the function block logic of the integrated circuit.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for sub-frame bit access for reconfiguring a logic block of a programmable logic device is described. A reconfiguration port in communication with a controller is provided. The controller is in communication with configuration memory for configuring the logic block. Configuration information is provided via the reconfiguration port. A single data word stored in the configuration memory is read via the controller, modified with the configuration information, and written back into configuration memory. Accordingly, by reading a single data word, in contrast to an entire frame, on-the-fly reconfiguration is facilitated.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for a controller for dynamic configuration is described. The controller comprises a port interface, a read/write interface, and a plurality of flip-flops. The flip-flops, couple the port interface to the read/write interface. The port interface is configured to receive a plurality of signals, where portion of the plurality of signals are pipelined through the plurality of flip-flops responsive to a data clock signal of the plurality of signals. This facilitates reading and writing to storage elements at a rate which is at least approximately a frequency of the data clock signal while operating a device at approximately such frequency in which the controller is instantiated.
