ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a semiconductor chip package comprising a plurality of programmable pads located on a surface of the package, each pad being adapted for interconnection with a semiconductor chip. The package also includes a plurality of signal connectors located on a surface of the package. In addition, the package includes a plurality of signal connections, each signal connection providing an electrically conductive path between an individual programmable pad and a corresponding individual signal connector. A plurality of dedicated power or ground connectors are also located on a surface of the package. Conductive paths within the package provide apparatus for selectively connecting any programmable pad to a power or ground connector, any pad so connected also remaining connected to a corresponding signal connector.
