Abstract
A programmable logic device (PLD) includes programmable logic circuitry and a bridge circuitry. The bridge circuitry includes a first interface circuitry and a first signal select circuitry. The first signal select circuitry couples to the first interface circuitry and the programmable logic circuitry. The bridge circuitry further includes an information interchange circuitry. The first signal select circuitry is configured to selectably provide a communication path between the information interchange circuitry and either the programmable logic circuitry or the first interface circuitry.
