Abstract
A method for a singular programming a programmable component in an electronic circuit includes providing a plurality of programmable components connected between each other in an electronic chain arrangement; providing an interface adapted to connect the programmable components to an external controller wherein the controller is adapted to program the programmable components; isolating and programming a safety component by setting an output pin in the safety component to logical state zero at first power up of the electronic circuit and logical state zero causes input and output data lines from the interface to be connected just to the safety component; and setting the output pin in the safety component to logical state one wherein the logical state one causes input and output data lines from the interface to disconnect from the safety component and connect to the electronic chain of the plurality of programmable components excluding the safety component.
