Patent ID: 7977973

Claim:
An electronic basic unit for a system on chip, comprising: a semiconductor substrate; said electronic basic unit being formed on said semiconductor substrate and having the form of an integrated circuit; an area on said semiconductor substrate; said area being bounded by a geometric basic shape; a functional circuit core which determines a function for said electronic basic unit; at least two connecting ports at the edges of said geometric basic shape; said at least two connecting ports each being designed to be directly electrically coupled to a further connecting port of a further electronic basic unit produced on said semiconductor substrate and being adjacent to said electronic basic unit; and at least two programmable connecting-port controllers, each programmable connecting-port controller being connected to one of the connecting ports for controlling data transfers between said electronic basic unit and said further electronic basic units produced on said semiconductor substrate via said at least two connecting ports; wherein said data transfers between said electronic basic units are effected by the respective of said connecting-port controllers using relative addresses.
