Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit having an external connection pad and an active circuit for generating signals to be output from the integrated circuit by means of the pad, the integrated circuit including an interface circuit associated with the pad, the interface circuit including a latch coupled between the pad and an output of the active circuit, the latch being capable of operating in a first mode in which the state of the pad follows the state of the output of the active circuit and a second mode in which the state of the pad is held by the latch.
