Integrated digital semiconductor circuit, including a plurality of inputs, a common constant-current source for selectively supplying the inputs, the inputs being operable in a "1" logic level state and a "0" logic level state, internal switching means for switching the inputs to a first operating state of the common constant-current source in which all of the inputs are at the "0" level and to a second operating state of the common constant-current source in which a given number of the inputs are at the "1" level and the other of the inputs are at the "0" level, a resistor being connected between the common constant-current source and each of the inputs, each of the resistors being identical to each other and being constructed in dependence on the first and second operating states of the common constant-current source.
Integrated digital semiconductor circuit, comprising n terminals, a common constant current source for supplying said terminals, said current source being in the form of a transistor having a current supplying output, each of said terminals being operable in an identical logic level "1" in one operating state and each of said terminals being operable in an identical logic level "0" in another operating state, the digital semiconductor circuit being operable in one operating state in which all of said terminals are at the logic level "0" and in remaining operating states in which a given partial number of said terminals are at the logic level "1" and the others of said terminals are at the logic level "0", n equal resistors each being connected between said current supplying output and a respective one of said terminals, said resistors forming an exclusive connection between said constant current source and said terminals, said resistors having resistance values R being adjustable according to the formula:
