    摘要: An integrated circuit can be switched between operating modes without the need for a dedicated mode selection pin. A circuit for operation at a specified maximum supply voltage comprises first (DVDD) and second (DVSS) supply- terminals, a first signal input (inputl) for application of a regular input signal, a second signal input (input2), and an output. The circuit further comprises a multiplexer (Mux)with first and second inputs connected to the first and second singnal output. The control circuitry detects a voltage at the first signal input that exceeds the specified maximum supply voltage by a given amount and, in response, applies a drive signal to the input of the gate circuit. With such a circuit design, a relatively high voltage applied to the first signal input will switch the circuit to another operating mode, such as a test mode.
