A hybrid integrated circuit is provided that has a monocrystalline substrate such as silicon and a compound semiconductor layer such as gallium arsenide or indium phosphide. An optical communications port may be formed on the hybrid integrated circuit. Electrical equipment may be provided that includes electrical components. At least a given one of the components may be a hybrid integrated circuit. Data used for the operation of one of the given integrated circuit may be provided to the given integrated circuit through the optical communications port on that integrated circuit. The data may be loaded rapidly in real time due to the wide bandwidth of the optical communications port.
