1. A circuit comprising:
- a keeper circuit;
a first circuit coupled to said keeper circuit;
a second circuit coupled to said keeper circuit; and
a plurality of switches operable in a first position and operable in a second position, wherein said switches if operated in said first position configure said keeper circuit, said first circuit, and said second circuit into an enhanced mode and enable a portion of said first and second circuits, and wherein said switches if operated in said second position configure said keeper circuit, said first circuit, and said second circuit into a normal mode and disable said portion of said first and second circuits.
