                                           DECISION ON APPEAL                                                 


                   This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 20 and 21.  Other          
            pending claims, 2-19, have been indicated by the examiner as being directed to                    
            allowable subject matter and are not on appeal before us.                                         
                   The invention is directed to a method of modifying a circuit such that a driving           
            circuit for driving a wire determined to have glitch errors therein is replaced with another      
            driving circuit having a higher driving ability.                                                  
                   Independent claim 20 is reproduced as follows:                                             


                                                      1
