Abstract
A dual function capability is incorporated into one input of an emitter coupled logic gate to allow a user to selectively enable the logic circuit to operate in a multifunction mode. The dual function input can recognize both normal binary voltage levels and operate as a conventional input for digital information, and also recognize voltage levels not within the normal binary voltage levels and modify the circuit function correspondingly.
