Configuration pin emulation circuit for a field programmable gate array

An integrated circuit for providing a pin-for-pin replacement of a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The integrated circuit includes an emulation circuit for mimicking the programmable stage (e.g., initialization, configuration and start-up states) of the FPGA. The integrated circuit is designed...

Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit for providing a pin-for-pin replacement of a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The integrated circuit includes an emulation circuit for mimicking the programmable stage (e.g., initialization, configuration and start-up states) of the FPGA. The integrated circuit is designed to be transparent to the user/customer, thereby eliminating the need for a costly redesign of a user's circuit board.
