Abstract
In one embodiment, a multi-protocol communication circuit is provided. The communication circuit includes a plurality of protocol bridge circuits, each configured to convert data between a first format and a respective second format corresponding to a respective communication protocol. A switch network provides routable connections between the protocol bridge circuits and one or more interface circuits. Each interface circuit is configured to convert data between the first format and a raw data format. Due to the common first format, an interface circuit may be configured for select ones of different communication protocols by routing data in the first format between the interface circuit and a protocol bridge circuit corresponding to the select one of the different communication protocols.
