Patent ID: 7449915

Claim:
An integrated circuit (“IC”) comprising: a) a first logic circuit for receiving configuration data sets and performing at least a first function when receiving a first configuration data set and a second function when receiving a second configuration data set; b) a second circuit communicatively coupled to the first logic circuit, the second circuit for supplying configuration data sets to the first logic circuit, the second circuit having a first set of input terminals; c) a second set of input terminals for carrying data, wherein a plurality of the second set of input terminals overlap a plurality of the first set of input terminals; and d) a via programmed structure comprising a set of vias and potential vias, wherein a plurality of vias in the via programmed structure connect the input terminals in the first set with the input terminals in the second set, wherein the IC receives a control signal, wherein the second set of input terminals receives at least a portion of said control signal.
