Abstract

See full text

In an FPGA having registers which are part of a user's logic functions and a configuration memory which is read and written through an addressing structure, a register protect circuit controllably protects the contects of these user logic registers from being modified by signals from the user's logic, allows these registers to be written by a microprocessor through the configuration memory addressing structure, and allows both the user's registers and lines which provide combinational signals to be read by a microprocessor through the configuration memory addressing structure.
