ABSTRACT:
A configuration emulation circuit generates configuration signals to emulate a programmable Logic Device (PLD) in a configuration timing relationship and a configuration protocol relationship between a programming circuit and the PLD. The circuit includes a first circuit to emulate the PLD in the configuration timing relationship. The circuit also includes a second circuit to emulate the PLD in the configuration protocol relationship. The second circuit is coupled to receive a configuration mode signal and is responsive to the configuration mode signal.
