Abstract

An integrated circuit with multi-functional parameter setting and a multi-functional parameter setting method of the integrated circuit are provided. The multi-functional parameter setting method includes following steps: providing the integrated circuit which includes a switch unit and a multi-functional pin that is coupled to an external setting unit, sensing a programmable reference voltage of the external setting unit through one operation of the switch unit and executing a first function setting according to the programmable reference voltage, and sensing a programmable reference current of the external setting unit through another operation of the switch unit and executing a second function setting according to the programmable reference current.
