Abstract
A voltage sensing module for an integrated circuit (IC) that supports operation at a plurality of different voltage levels includes a voltage generation module that generates first and second voltages based on an operating voltage level of the IC. A comparing module receives the first and second voltages and generates a voltage determination signal based on the first and second signals. The voltage determination signal selectively configures an input/output I/O pad of the IC.
