Zusammenfassung:A programmable logic device that includes a voltage input and a detection circuit coupled to the voltage input is described. The detection circuit detects whether a voltage applied to the voltage input exceeds a predetermined value. The programmable logic device also includes a configuration circuit coupled to the detection circuit. The configuration circuit configures the programmable logic device to receive a current sufficient for program and erase operations through the voltage input in response to the detection circuit detecting that the voltage exceeds the predetermined value.
