Claim Text:
1. An integrated circuit within an integrated circuit package, the integrated circuit comprising: a configuration module to configure the integrated circuit using a configure operation performed via N pins of the integrated circuit package, where N is an integer greater than 1; and a timing module configured to control on/off timing of (N*M) light emitting diodes arranged in N columns and M rows connected to the N pins and M pins of the integrated circuit package, respectively, where M is an integer greater than 1, wherein configuring the integrated circuit using the configure operation is separate from controlling the on/off timing of the (N*M) light emitting diodes, wherein, during a first period, the configure operation utilizes the N pins, and wherein, during a second period, the (N*M) light emitting diodes receive data from the M pins and refresh signals from the N pins, wherein the second period is different than the first period.
