Abstract
An integrated circuit can be operated in at least three different organization forms that can be set externally. A connection pad receives an external signal for stipulating one of the organization forms. An input of a control circuit for setting one of the organization forms is connected to the connection pad. Depending on the signal on the connection pad, the control circuit can generate at least three different states at the output to identify the respective organization forms. When the signal state has been read and the corresponding organization form has been activated, the control circuit is disconnected from a voltage supply for the integrated circuit. The inventive circuit allows the number of connection pads for stipulating the organization form to be kept low.
