3-bit bus that selects which parameter should be read or written.

This signal is required if you intend on writing parameters to the
remote update block 12-bit bus used when writing parameters,
which specifies the parameter value. The parameter value is
requested using the param[] input and by driving the
write_param
signal logic high, at which point the busy signal
goes logic high and the value of the parameter is captured from
this bus. For some parameters, not all 12 bits are used, in which
case only the least significant bits are used. This port is ignored
if the Current_Configuration parameter is set to an
application configuration since writing of parameters is only
allowed in the factory configuration. If this port is left
unconnected, the default value is 0.
(1)
Logic array source means that you can drive the port from internal logic or any general-purpose I/O pin.

busy
Y
Logic Array
When this signal is a logic high, the remote update block is
busy either reading or writing a parameter. When the remote
update block is busy, it ignores its data_in[], param[],
and reconfig inputs. This signal goes high when
read_param
or write_param is asserted and remains
asserted until the operation is complete.
pgm_out[2..0]
Y
PGM[2..0]
pins
3-bit bus that specifies the page pointer of the configuration
data to be loaded when the device is reconfigured. This port
must be connected to the PGM[] output pins, which should be
connected to the external configuration device.
