Abstract
An apparatus for generating a constant logical value in an integrated circuit includes a first logic network having n outputs, the n outputs providing 2n possible output combinations, where the n outputs assume a state that is a subset of the 2n possible output combinations and a second logic network configured to generate at least one constant logic signal when the n outputs assume any state that is part of the subset of the 2n possible output combinations.
