ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for conveying configuration data to a programmable logic device integrated circuit. When the configuration data is loaded into configuration memory on the programmable logic device integrated circuit, the programmable logic device integrated circuit performs custom logic functions. The programmable logic device integrated circuit or an associated configuration device integrated circuit may be provided with power conversion circuitry and transceiver circuitry. The power conversion circuitry converts received radio-frequency signals into power. The power from the power conversion circuitry is provided to the transceiver, loading, and configuration memory circuitry. The transceiver circuitry is connected to an antenna that receives wirelessly-transmitted configuration data and is used to transmit confirmation messages following successful loading of the configuration data into the configuration memory.
