    摘要: The present invention is directed to methods for disabling unused IO resources in a platform-based integrated circuit. A slice is received from a vendor. The slice includes an IO circuit unused by a customer. The IO circuit is disabled. For example, when the IO circuit is desired to be tied to a power source, a primary input/output pin of the IO circuit is shorted to a power bus of the IO circuit. When the IO circuit is desired to be tied to a ground source, a primary input/output pin of the IO circuit is shorted to a ground bus of the IO circuit. When the IO circuit is desired to be left floated, a primary input/output pin of the IO circuit is not connected to any bonding pad cell of the slice. Next, the IO circuit is removed from the customer's logic design netlist. The IO circuit is inserted in the vendor's physical design database.

    摘要: An integrated circuit with a monolithic semiconducting substrate formed in a chip, where the chip has a peripheral edge, a backside, and an opposing top on which circuitry is formed. A first ring of bonding pads is formed along at least a portion of the peripheral edge. At least one of the bonding pads is configured as a power pad, and at least one of the bonding pads is configured as a ground pad. An intermediate power bus is disposed interior to the first ring of bonding pads on the chip, and forms no direct electrical connections to any core devices. An intermediate ground bus is also disposed interior to the first ring of bonding pads on the chip, and forms no direct electrical connections to any core devices. A power pad wire forms an exclusive electrical connection between the power pad and the intermediate power bus. A ground pad wire forms an exclusive electrical connection between the ground pad and the intermediate ground bus. A power strap forms an electrical connection between the intermediate power bus and a power mesh. A ground strap forms an electrical connection between the intermediate ground bus and a ground mesh.
