Abstract
A dynamically and independently reconfigurable multi-mode device, and a method thereof. The device can include a controller for selecting a mode of operation. The device is configured according to the mode of operation. The configuration information corresponding to the mode of operation resides on the device such that the configuring is accomplished independent of a host device. The device also can include interface circuitry for simulating disconnection of the device from, and reconnection of the device to, the host device. The selected mode of operation is implemented between the simulated disconnection and reconnection.
