A communication device provides for a hardware configurable module interface port by using a programmable logic device ( ). The programmable logic device ( ) is reconfigured using software stored in memory ( ). The reconfiguration of programmable logic device ( ) depends on the type of module ( ) that is attached to the communication device. Since data translation is not required to be performed by each of the different types of modules that can be attached to the communication device, the time to develop a module is shortened and support circuitry requirements to perform data translation is reduced.

Communication device

A heatsink assembly (100) provides additional heat dissipation for a high-power integrated circuit package (102) contained within a communication product housing (130). There is an integral heatsink (104) protruding from the package. The heatsink frictionally mates with the first end (108) of a thermally conductive member (106). The second end (110) of the conductive member is magnetically-coupled to the rear surface (123) of a loudspeaker magnet (122). Tabs (111) extending away from the second end of the conductive member provide added mechanical support, preventing the second end from sliding against the rear surface of the magnet. Heat generated by the high-power device is transferred from the package heatsink, via the thermally conductive member, to the loudspeaker magnet such that heat is dissipated away from the package and toward the magnet.
