Abstract: Apparatus and methods for programming multiple parameters per pin of an IC are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, system operation parameters of an IC are set using external component(s) in conjunction with an internal detection circuit of the IC. The internal detection circuit allows for programming of multiple parameters with one pin of the IC, thereby reducing package size, board area, and/or chip complexity. For example, the teachings herein allow for detection of three or more unique parameters or states per pin, significantly reducing the part pin count and board area.
