Abstract

The invention concerns a microelectronic circuit for activation or respectively deactivating at least one second input/output (2, 3), or second “buffer”, which receives a deactivation command (21, 31) corresponding to a combination of a general activation, or respectively deactivation, command (StopPadB) and of an information item representing the activated, or respectively deactivated, state (12, 22) of at least a first buffer, so that the said second buffer(s) is/are only activated, or respectively deactivated, when the said first buffer(s) is/are already activated, or respectively deactivated, to keep to a predetermined sequence of activation, or respectively deactivation, of the said buffers (1, 2, 3).
