ABSTRACT:
In an integrated microcircuit device the supply voltage is monitored by a pair of threshold detector logic circuits configured to generate a first control signal when said supply voltage crosses over a minimum level, and a second control signal when said supply voltage crosses over a maximum level. The control signals are used to configure the device into distinct modes of operation, whereby the functions of the device and the voltage level of the power supply applied to them during testing or operation may be controlled by varying the supply voltage.
