Abstract

An IC chip characterized in that at least two input pads and at least two output pads are respectively disposed symmetrical to each other about the center of the IC chip, at least two input/output pads are disposed symmetrical to each other about the center, at least one supply voltage pad is disposed in each of four equal sections formed by longitudinally and laterally dividing the IC chip, and at least one control voltage pad is disposed in each of these four sections. The IC chip can be connected by bonding to various types of IC packages having different configurations of the pins only by mounting in a proper direction without causing the bonding wires to bridge over the other constituent elements or to cross each other.
