Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for coupling contact pads to a circuit in a semiconductor device is described. An example apparatus includes a first pad, a first wiring coupled to the first pad, a second pad, a second wiring, a circuit coupled to the second pad, and a switch circuit. The switch circuit includes first, second, and third connections, and includes first and second control gates. The first wiring is coupled to the first and third connections and second wiring is coupled to the second connection. The switch circuit is configured to couple the first wiring with the second wiring when the first and second control gates are activated and to decouple the first wiring from the second wiring when the first and second control gates are not activated.

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a circuit; a first pad; a second pad; a wiring coupled to the circuit and the second pad; and a switch circuit coupled to the first pad and further coupled to the circuit, the switch circuit configured to couple the first pad to the circuit when a control gate of the switch circuit is activated and further configured to decouple the first pad from the circuit when the control gate of the switch circuit is not activated, wherein the gate of the switch circuit is a first control gate, and the switch circuit comprises: a first connection; a second connection; a third connection; and a second control gate, wherein the first control gate is disposed between the first connection and the second connection and the second control gate is disposed between the second connection and the third connection, and wherein the switch circuit is configured to couple the first pad to the circuit when both the first and second control gates are activated and further configured to decouple the first pad from the circuit when both the first and second control gates are not activated.
