ABSTRACT:
A programmable configuration selector is provided to an apparatus having at least one configurable device. The programmable configuration selector comprises a non-volatile memory having at least one storage register for storing configuration information corresponding to the at least one configurable device, and a multiplexer driver. The multiplexer driver comprises at least one output port coupled to the at least one configurable device, for asserting configuration information, received from the non-volatile memory, on the at least one output port to configure the at least one configurable device at a first time, and for asserting operational data, received from a data bus, on the at least one output port to the at least one configurable device at a second time.
