Abstract

An integrated circuit enables the selection of a circuit. According to one implementation, a plurality of redundant circuits provide a predetermined function and a voltage sensor may be coupled to receive a reference voltage. A selection circuit may be coupled to the voltage sensor and the reference voltage, wherein the selection circuit selects one of the plurality of redundant circuits to be implemented in the integrated circuit based upon a detected voltage of the reference voltage of the reference voltage.
