ABSTRACT:
A universal interconnect matrix area array or crosspoint switch is comprised of a first set of conductive leads formed in a first direction, a second set of conductive leads formed in a second direction, the second direction being not parallel to the first direction, and structure for electrically interconnecting selected ones of the conductive leads in the first set of conductive leads to one or more of the conductive leads in the second set of conductive leads. Input/output pads are arranged in an area matrix and connected to selected ones of the first set of conductive leads and the second set of conductive leads. Selected ones of the conductive leads are segmented thereby to allow any input/output pad to be connected to one or more of the other input/output pads without removing from use any input/output pads not intended to be so connected. At least one of the input/output pads is internal to the input/output pads along the periphery of the area matrix.
