Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An input/output circuit implemented in an integrated circuit is described. The input/output circuit comprises an input/output pad and a voltage control circuit coupled to the input/output pad. The voltage control circuit sets a voltage at the input/output pad at a first voltage when the input/output pad is implemented as an input pad and at a second voltage when the input/output pad is implemented as an output pad. Methods of implementing input/output circuits in an integrated circuit are also described.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An input/output circuit implemented in an integrated circuit, the input/output circuit comprising: a first input/output pad; a voltage control circuit coupled to the first input/output pad; and a second input/output pad, wherein the second input/output pad is coupled to the voltage control circuit; wherein the voltage control circuit sets a voltage at the first input/output pad at a first voltage when the first input/output pad is implemented as an inp…
