Appeal No. 2000-2294
Application No. 08/511,425
a voltage sensing and blocking circuit for sensing
voltage through the one of the first plurality of inputs and
electrically disconnecting the one of the first plurality of
inputs from the compliant interconnect media if a
predetermined voltage limit is exceeded, the voltage sensing
and blocking circuit being formed on the semiconductor
substrate;
a feedback circuit for receiving data from at least one
of the voltage sensing and blocking circuit, the current
sensing and blocking circuit, and the plurality of buffers,
and using this data to provide test information, the feedback
circuit being formed on the semiconductor substrate;
a temperature circuit coupled to the feedback circuit,
the temperature circuit being used for receiving and
processing temperature information, the feedback circuit being
formed on the semiconductor substrate.
