The invention uses a programmable interconnect substrate having a plurality of conductive and interconnectable vias located on one or both surfaces thereof. A customised pattern of bonding pads is then formed over the one or both surface of the substrate which correspond to the terminal footprints of specific surface mounted packages intended to be mounted on the substrate. A generalised pattern of bonding pads may also be formed on the surface of the substrate for electrically connecting terminals of bare dice thereto by means of thin wire. All bonding pads are electrically connected to one or more vias by direct electrical contact or by a conductive trace extending from the bonding pad to a nearly via.

A pullup circuit for use with plurality of N-Channel pulldown transistors (14a,..., 14n) connected to a bit line (12) includes a P-channel MOS pullup transistor (10) connected between the bit line (12) and a voltage rail (V DD ). An inverter (32) is connected between the bit line (12) and the drain of an N-Channel MOS transistor (34) having its gate connected to the voltage rail (V DD ) and its source connected to the gate of the P-Channel MOS pullup transistor (10). A first P-Channel MOS transistor (36) is connected between the voltage rail (V DD ) and the gate of the P-Channel MOS pullup transistor (10). A second P-Channel MOS transistor (38) having its gate connected to ground is connected between the bit line (12) and the gate of the first P-Channel MOS transistor (10). Four P-Channel MOS divider transistors (40,42,44,46) are connected between the drain of the first P-Channel MOS transistor (10) and ground. The gates of the P-Channel MOS divider transistors (40,42,44,46) are connected together to ground. The P-Channel MOS pullup transistor (10) and the N-Channel MOS pulldown transistors (14a,...,14n) are large. The first and second P-Channel MOS transistors (36,38), the first N-Channel MOS transistor (34), and the P-Channel MOS divider transistors (40,42,44,46) are close to minimum size. The P-Channel and N-Channel devices comprising the inverter devices are larger than minimum size.

Apparatus for forcing a memory cell to a known state upon power-up includes circuitry for providing two signals PWRUP and PWRUPB which are used during chip power-up. At power-up, as V cc rises from 0 volt to 3.5 volts, the PWRUP signal follows V cc and the PWRUPB signal maintains 0 volts. The PWRUP and PWRUPB signals are used to drive the gates of P-Channel and N-Channel MOS transistors, respectively, including pass gates connected between word line driver circuits and bit line driver circuits driving the word lines and bit lines associated with the memory cells. In addition, the PWRUPB signal is used to drive P-Channel MOS pullup transistors connected between the word lines and V cc and the bit lines and V cc . During power-up, the pass gates are disabled, disconnecting the word lines and bit lines from their drivers. The word lines and bit lines are forced to follow the rise of V cc by the P-Channel pullup transistors. When V cc reaches its desired value, the PWRUP signal goes to 0 volts and the PWRUPB signal goes to V cc , thus turning on the pass gates to connect the word line and bit line driver circuits to the word lines and bit lines. The V cc final PWRUPB signal turns off the P-Channel MOS pullup transistors connected between the word lines and V cc and the bit lines and Vcc.

A printed circuit board contacts a plurality of component contacts for receipt of electronic components and a plurality of electrically conductive traces, each trace being electrically connected to a corresponding one of the component contacts. A corresponding plurality of interconnect holes is formed on a selected portion of the printed circuit board with each interconnect hole contacting uniquely a corresponding one of the plurality of electrically conductive traces. A multiplicity of custom conductive traces (106) is then formed in an interconnect region such that each of the multiplicity of conductive traces interconnects at least one of the interconnect holes to at least one other interconnect hole thereby to form an electrically conductive path between each of the interconnect holes interconnected by the custom conductive traces. A user is thus able to achieve a desired electrical function from the electronic components to be connected to the printed circuit board.
