Abstract
A method for producing an input/output permutation of several conductive strips on an integrated circuit consists in: identifying, among the parallel branches of the conductive strips, a minimal group whereof the branches are designed to be subjected to input/output swapping; locating a bend (3) on a deflected branch (2) and carrying out a conductive deposit (5) perpendicular from said bend (3) between the two parallel branches (1, 2), and an inclined deposit (9) between the perpendicular branch (4) and the parallel branch (1) with breaks (7, 8) so as to swap the inputs and the outputs. The invention also concerns the resulting integrated circuit.
