Abstract
An integrated circuit having a first and second bond pads, a latch circuit, and a voltage lead. Different configurations of the internal circuitry of the integrated circuit are selected by applying the voltage lead either to the first or second bond pads. This result is achieved because the latch circuit, coupled between the first and second bond pads, is capable of inverting the voltage response seen at the first bond pad.
