INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND PROCESS FOR FAMILY OF DIGITAL LOGIC FUNCTIONS
Abstract:
A family of digital logic functions has the same specifications for input and output voltages and the same number of bond pads. A digital logic integrated circuit (1100) for the family includes: a substrate of semiconductor material having a core area (1104) and a peripheral area; a certain number of bond pads (1106-1 through 1106-14) formed in the peripheral area, the certain number of bond pads determining the total area of the substrate; programmable digital logic transistor circuitry formed in the core area for each of the digital logic functions in the family; programmable input and output circuitry formed in the peripheral area; programming circuitry for programming the programmable digital logic transistor circuitry into a selected digital logic function; and programmable input and output means for programming the input and output circuitry into input and output circuits for the selected digital logic function.
