Abstract
An electronic basic unit for a system on chip comprises a semiconductor substrate and an area on the semiconductor substrate. The area is bounded by a geometric basic shape and the electronic basic unit is formed on the semiconductor substrate and has the form of an integrated circuit. The electronic basic unit further comprises a functional circuit core which determines a function for the electronic basic unit and at least one connecting port at the edges of the geometric basic shape. The at least one connecting port is designed to be coupled to a further connecting port of a further electronic basic unit produced on the semiconductor substrate and being adjacent to the electronic basic unit. The electronic basic unit comprises also a programmable connecting-port controller for controlling data transfers between the electronic basic unit and the further electronic basic unit produced on the semiconductor substrate via the at least one connecting port.
