ABSTRACT:
A device package that receives a voltage from a power supply on a motherboard and that includes provisions for a voltage control element that controls the power supply voltage. The provisions for the voltage control element are such that the voltage from the power supply has a first voltage if the voltage control element is installed and a second voltage if the voltage control element is missing. Such a device is useful in (computer) systems having wiring boards with power supplies that produce output voltages that depend on adjust voltages on adjust inputs. The provisions of the device package can then set the adjust voltage such that the power supply has a first voltage if the voltage control element is installed and a second voltage if the voltage control element is missing.
