Abstract
A plurality of functional elements are all located on a same integrated circuit wherein at least one of the functional elements comprises a micro-controller. A configuration data store in the integrated circuit stores configuration values loaded by the micro-controller. A plurality of connectors are configured to connect the integrated circuit to external signals. A programmable interconnect also located in the integrated circuit programmably connects together the plurality of functional elements and the plurality of connectors according to the configuration values loaded into the configuration data store.
