Abstract
An integrated circuit within an integrated circuit package, including a configuration module and a timing module. The configuration module configures the integrated circuit using a configure operation performed via N pins of the integrated circuit package, where N is an integer greater than 1. The timing module is 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, respectively, where M is an integer greater than 1. During a first period, the configure operation utilizes the N pins. During a second period, the N*M light emitting diodes receive data from the M pins and refresh signals from the N pins. The second period is different than the first period.
