Summary:A peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device comprising a bus interface coupled to a component interconnect bus, a plurality of configuration space register sets, and virtual multiple-function logic. Each set of configuration space registers is associated with a function. The virtual multiple-function logic is coupled to the bus interface and the configuration space register sets. The virtual multiple-function logic provides access to a plurality of configuration space registers for a plurality of functions. The virtual multiple-function logic also enables a plurality of functions to share the bus interface and other internal logic.
