US Patent 7109750 Reconfiguration port for dynamic reconfiguration-controller

Method and apparatus for a controller for dynamic configuration is described. The controller comprises a port interface, a read/write interface, and a plurality of flip-flops. The flip-flops, couple the port interface to the read/write interface. The port interface is configured to receive a plurality of signals, where portion of the plurality of signals are pipelined through the plurality of flip-flops responsive to a data clock signal of the plurality of signals. This facilitates reading and writing to storage elements at a rate which is at least approximately a frequency of the data clock signal while operating a device at approximately such frequency in which the controller is instantiated.
