Abstract
A configuration control circuit () allows a PLD to be quickly re-configured to implement different functions without requiring any configuration memory cells. The control circuit () includes a first input (IN) connected to a first hardwired configuration bit (HCB), a second input (IN) connected to a second hardwired configuration bit (HCB), an output (OUT) connected to one or more of the PLD's configurable elements (), and a select circuit () to selectively connect either the first input (IN) or the second input (IN) to the output (OUT) in response to a select signal (SEL).
