Abstract
More than 2 power N external conditions are determined by a circuit package. Connections are made from N inputs to either a first or second contact at either a first or second logic state respectively or to digital outputs. The outputs may be sequentially placed at either the first or second logic state. By recording an indication signal from the inputs an electronic circuit is adapted to determine more than 2 power N conditions.
