Abstract
An integrated circuit and a method of reconfiguring an integrated circuit in which multiple configuration sets, each including a plurality of register settings, are stored on the chip. Selection of at least a portion of a configuration set allows for quicker and easier retrieval and loading of register settings, and reduces the complexity and size of the higher level system control program. In an alternative embodiment, at least a portion of a configuration set that is stored on the chip can be directly loaded to at least one device to be controlled to eliminate the need for the set of registers.
