Abstract
Apparatus and method relate generally to a configuration engine. In one such configuration engine for a programmable circuit, a frame counter includes a cascade of frame incrementer circuits associated with columns for a row of circuit blocks. Each frame incrementer circuit is configured to provide frame sums for frames associated with the circuit blocks. The frame counter is configured to sequentially add the frame sums for the columns to provide corresponding frame totals respectively for circuit types of the circuit blocks. A termination circuit is configured to multiplex the frame totals onto a data bus. A row controller is configured to initiate the frame counter and to selectively access the frame totals provided to the data bus.
