Abstract:
Various aspects of an approach for routing die signals in an interior portion of a die using external interconnects are described herein. The approach provides for contacts coupled to circuits in the interior portion of the die, where the contacts are exposed to an exterior portion of the die. The external interconnects are configured to couple these contacts so that signals from the circuits in the interior portion of the die may be routed externally to the die. In various aspects of the disclosed approach, the external interconnects are protected by a packaging for the die.

Abstract:
A configurable die including a logic element configured to communicate a control and address (CA) signal and a data (DQ) signal, and a first generic physical interface (PHY) and a second generic PHY in communication with the logic element, wherein each of the first generic PHY and the second generic PHY is configurable as a CA PHY and as a DQ PHY, and wherein the logic element is configurable to communicate the CA signal and the DQ signal to different ones of the first and second generic PHYs.
