Estimating the term…
An integrated circuit device comprises at least one connectivity identification module. The at least one connectivity identification module is arranged to determine an initial sensed state of at least one external signal path of the integrated circuit device, cause the at least one external signal path to be pulled towards an opposing state to the initial sensed state therefor, determine a new sensed state of the at least one external signal path of the integrated circuit device, and identify a presence of a broken connection within the at least one external signal path, if the new sensed state of the at least one external signal path does not match the initial sensed state of the at least one external signal path.
An integrated circuit device comprising:
A method of identifying a presence of a broken connection within an external signal path of an integrated circuit device, the method comprising:
A tangible computer program product having executable program code stored therein for identifying a presence of a broken connection within an external signal path of an integrated circuit device, the program code operable for:
