Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprises at least first and second circuits said first and second circuits being connected to a shared external connection. The device further comprises a voltage clamp that is operable to limit a voltage at the shared external connection. The voltage clamp can be selectively enabled depending upon whether the first or second circuit is being used.
