The switching configuration circuit according to any one of claims 1 to 3, further comprising: A processor, a bus scheduling unit, and at least one bus asynchronous bridge; Wherein, one of the bus asynchronous bridges is connected to one of the transceiver configuration units; The processor is configured to: issue a parameter configuration command; wherein the parameter configuration command includes: configuration parameters of at least one working mode of at least one subunit of at least one of the transceiver working channels; The bus scheduling unit is configured to: forward the parameter configuration command to the corresponding bus asynchronous bridge; The bus asynchronous bridge is configured to send configuration parameters of at least one working mode of at least one subunit of the transceiver working channel to the transceiver configuration unit connected to the transceiver working channel.

6. A configuration method, comprising: Saving the configuration parameters of at least one working mode of at least one subunit of the transceiver working channel connected to the transceiver configuration unit into the transceiver configuration unit; When the configuration validation condition is met, the configuration parameters of the working mode currently required to be effective of at least one subunit of the transceiver working channel are sent to the transceiver working channel connected to the transceiver configuration unit; The configuration parameters of the working mode that currently needs to be effective of at least one subunit of the transceiver working channel are switched and configured to take effect in the transceiver working channel.

7. The configuration method according to claim 6, wherein: The configuration validation conditions include: The configuration takes effect at the time when the configuration takes effect; or a state switching interrupt is received.
