Abstract
An integrated circuit system () includes a memory array () storing a configuration data set to configure an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit () includes a configuration memory () and a configuration controller state machine (). The configuration controller state machine operates so as to read a read-check signature at a read-check address of the memory array () and to compare the read-check signature with a standard signature stored in the integrated circuit (). If the read-check signature passes the comparison, the configuration controller state machine () loads the configuration data set from the memory array to the configuration memory () of the integrated circuit.
