Abstract
An electronic device comprises a first plurality of configuration elements connected as a shift register for programming a subset of the programmable functions of the electronic device. The subset of programmable functions may be reprogrammed by loading configuration data into the first plurality of configuration elements such that the subset of programmable functions may be reprogrammed without necessarily reprogramming other programmable functions of the electronic device.
