Abstract
An initialization strap is disclosed. The initialization strap includes an electronic device capable of receiving a control signal and of transmitting a first output signal in response thereto; a first diode capable of receiving the first output signal, the first diode being forward biased when the first output signal is received and being reverse biased otherwise; a first line over which the electronic device may transmit the first output signal to the first diode; and a first resistor capable of tying the line to a first predetermined voltage level.
