Abstract

See full text

A circuit improvement which permits a cell fabricated as an integrated circuit and a transceiver package having a transceiver and transformer to be redesigned into a single integrated circuit without redesigning a printed circuit board is disclosed. A multiplexer within the cell controlled by a programming circuit provide either the original cell outputs or selected transceiver signals. The second package includes only the transformer. The cell thus appears to the user to look like the older cell when the MUX is in one state. The combination of the packages appear to a user to look like the old combination when the MUX is in its other state. The MUX is controlled by a programming circuit which may, for instance, be programmed with a high voltage or bond out option.
