  • Auto sensor function chip
    Patent number: 6734511
    Abstract: A method and system for implementing a variable function circuit within a single semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip can be configured as a single circuit that provides varying functions according to extrinsic conditions. The single circuit can be permitted to be switched between a particular function and a different particular function, thereby promoting a decreased complexity in circuit design and a decrease in physical dimensions necessary to manufacture the semiconductor chip. Additionally, at least one portion of the semiconductor chip may be designated to the particular function and at least one other portion of the semiconductor chip to the different particular function. The semiconductor chip may thus act as a function switch.
    Type: Grant
