Abstract:
A component of an electronic circuit, the component comprising: a node (REG_ENB; DO) selectively configurable as an output node for providing an output signal to an external component or as an input node for providing an input signal to an internal component; a capacitor (C) selectively coupled to the node (REG_ENB; DO) to influence the time for the node (REG_ENB; DO) to transition between a low state and a high state; and a timer for measuring the time for the node to transition between a low state and a high state to provide a first information input signal, the state of the first information signal depending on the time for the node to transition between the low state and the high state and being indicative of a first information. A method of node management is also described.
