ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, an integrated circuit device is capable of responding to more than one input threshold voltage level by making only minimal changes to the device. The input buffer of the integrated circuit device is modified to be a programmable buffer that is controlled by a control input signal which may be generated by several different control means. Such control means include a bond option, a mask option, a fuse option, a register option, and a voltage detector option.
