Abstract
A circuit includes a switch unit, an non-protected register and a set of protected control registers. The set of protected control registers stores safe data for use by another unit of the circuit. The switch unit outputs the data stored by one of the set of protected control registers as a function of the data stored by the non-protected register. The data in the non-protected register can be changed by software in response to user input, operational mode or other condition or conditions.
