Patent ID: 7319269

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a package; and a plurality of interconnects attached in a grid-like pinout to a first face of the package of the semiconductor device, wherein the grid-like pinout has a center in which there are no interconnects, wherein a first subset of the plurality of interconnects is connectable to a first power supply voltage, wherein a second subset of the plurality of interconnects is connectable to a second power supply voltage, wherein the interconnects of the first and second subsets are arrayed into a first group of alternating adjacent parallel stripes of interconnects, each parallel stripe of the first and second subsets comprised of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns of interconnects, the parallel stripes of the first group perpendicular to a first outer edge of the grid-like pinout, and wherein each of the alternating parallel stripes terminates at a first edge of the center.
