Abstract

The disclosed method may include a control circuit coupled to a first read-only memory (ROM) device and a second ROM device detecting a failure of a first output signal from the first ROM device to a common output. The first ROM device is connected to the common output, and the second ROM device is disconnected from the common output. The method also includes, in response to detecting the failure, the control circuit switching the common output from the first ROM device to the second ROM device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
