ABSTRACT:
A configurable bus interface circuit includes an internal bus bridge and an internal circuit. The configurable bus interface circuit also includes an internal I/O circuit couplable to an external circuit, via the internal bus bridge. The configurable bus interface circuit electrically isolates the internal circuit to avoid the propagation of signals between the internal I/O circuit and the external circuit.
