Abstract
An integrated circuit may have a mode to be switched over if a predetermined signal voltage is input through a mode switching terminal when the predetermined voltage is applied to one or more signal input terminals. The integrated circuit is provided with a voltage setting circuit disposed between the signal input terminal and the logic circuit, for setting the signal input terminal to receive any voltage in the range of a ground voltage to a power source voltage in response to a signal voltage input through the mode switching terminal.
