Abstract

The present invention relates generally to functional pathway configurations at the interfaces between integrated circuits (ICs) and the circuit assemblies with which the ICs communicate. More particularly, the present invention relates generally to the functional pathway configuration at the interface between one or more semiconductor integrated circuit dice, including an IC package and the circuitry of a system wherein the integrated circuit dice is a digital signal controller. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a 18, 28, 40, 44, 64 or 80 pin functional pathway configuration for the interface between the digital signal controller and the system in which it is embedded.
