Abstract
An electronic device includes an interface with a first terminal, a second terminal, and a power supply. A voltage divider includes series-connected resistors, between the first terminal and ground voltage. A first programmable fuse is provided and the voltage divider converts the first signal to a different voltage level according to the state of the first programmable fuse. A first transistor has a gate receiving the converted first signal and a second transistor has a gate electrically connected to the second terminal and a source-drain terminal of the first transistor. The second transistor is off when the first transistor is on. A fuse-type switching element is connected between the power supply terminal a power supply circuit. A control terminal of the fuse-type switching element is connected to a source-drain terminal of the second transistor switches conduction state according to whether the second transistor is on or off.
