<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for selecting a functional parameter and/or operating mode of a circuit on the basis of time measurement. <P>SOLUTION: An exemplary integrated circuit includes a threshold detection and timing circuit coupled to measure a signal during an initialization period of the integrated circuit from a multifunction capacitor coupled to a first terminal of the integrated circuit. A selection circuit is coupled to the threshold detection and timing circuit to select a parameter/mode of the integrated circuit in response to the signal measured from the multifunction capacitor during the initialization period of the integrated circuit. After the initialization period of the integrated circuit is complete, the multifunction capacitor is coupled to provide additional functions of the integrated circuit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
