Abstract

A structure for interconnecting electronic components contains a group of first programmable integrated circuits (331-1-331-3 and 331-5-331-7), at least one second programmable integrated circuit (331-4) and at least one substrate (300), typically a printed circuit board. The first programmable integrated circuits are connected through conductive traces to component contacts formed on the substrate(s) for receiving the electronic components. The first programmable integrated circuits are also connected through bus lines (333-1-333-3 and 333-5-333-7) to the second programmable integrated circuit(s). The electronic components are thereby interconnected through the combination of the first and second programmable integrated circuits.
