Abstract

The integrated circuit has an activation decoder whose outputs are connected to the inputs of a command decoder. When an activation signal is at a first logic level, the activation decoder produces at its outputs a command supplied to it from command inputs. When the activation signal is at a second logic level, the activation decoder produces a deactivation command at its outputs irrespective of the command supplied to it from the command inputs. The command decoder does not activate any of its outputs when the deactivation command is being supplied to its inputs. The command decoder activates one of its outputs in each case when a different command is supplied to its inputs.
