  • Multiplexed programming voltage and status over single conductor
    Patent number: 5691947
    Abstract: An analog switch (100) isolates a microprocessor (120) from potentially damaging programming voltages input to a PROM (110). The microprocessor (120) controls the switch (100) to allow a lower, status voltage to be input to the microprocessor (120). When the PROM (110) is to be programmed, the microprocessor (120) opens the switch (100) to isolate the microprocessor (120) and allow the 12 VDC to only be coupled to the PROM (110).
