<p>The present invention is a programmable integrated circuit that can be used to handle different communication and input-output specifications. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit contains at least two physical layer modules, a media independent interface and a media access control module. The physical layer modules are preferably fixed logic components embedded in programmable logic fabric. In another embodiement, the integrated circuit contains a physical layer module and at least two media access control modules. The physical layer module is preferably a fixed logic component embedded in programmable logic fabric. Additionally, the integrated circuit can be programmed to comprise programming instructions for at least a portion of a Universal Serial Bux (USB) interface communication link, and may include programming instructions for a USB controller for configuring the FPGA in accordance therewith.</p> |
