Abstract
A circuit for selecting between two states and using the same pin as an input and an output. On power-up, the pin can be connected to either a grounded resistor (to select the first state) or the power supply (to select the second state). The input signal generates a logic select signal. The logic select signal selects between first and second logic formats. If the first format is selected, the pin is used to output a reference voltage for that format. If the second format is selected, the logic select signal also provides a disable signal, that prevents the reference voltage output from appearing on the pin.
