Abstract

A programmable interface for a peripheral circuit card is provided. The card is intended for use with a particular computer bus architecture, and the interface can be customized by a user for a particular card design. Instead of designing a custom interface chip, the designer can program one or more programmable logic devices on the interface chip to interface with whatever devices are on the peripheral circuit card.
