Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a monolithic integrated circuit die having a plurality of modular die regions; wherein the modular die regions respectively have a plurality of power distribution networks for independently powering each of the modular die regions; wherein each adjacent pair of the modular die regions is stitched together with a respective plurality of metal lines, wherein each metal line of the plurality of metal lines continuously extends between and serially couples the adjacent pair of the modular die regions; wherein the plurality of modular die regions includes a first die region and a second die region; wherein the first die region includes first select circuits coupled to a first programmable termination block to receive a first select signal; wherein the first select circuits are first multiplexers of the first die region; wherein the second die region includes second select circuits coupled to a second programmable termination block to receive a second select signal; and wherein the second select circuits are second multiplexers of the second die region.
