ABSTRACT:
A method of operating an integrated circuit having a circuit block configurable by a configuration memory is disclosed. The method includes determining whether to operate the circuit block in a normal operation mode or a low power mode. The configuration memory is loaded with normal operation mode configuration data for the circuit block if the normal operation mode is determined. If the low power mode is determined, the configuration memory is loaded with low power mode configuration data for the circuit block.
