A high density, low power, high performance information system, method and apparatus are described in which an integrated circuit apparatus includes a first integrated circuit link element (657) and a redundant integrated circuit link element (660) connected in parallel between first and second deflectable MEMS switches (652-655, 662-665) which are connected in a signal path and controlled to deselect the first integrated circuit link element (657) and connect the redundant integrated circuit link element (660) in the signal path in response to a two-state control signal provided to the first and second deflectable MEMs switches which identifies the first integrated circuit link element as being defective.
