Patent ID: 7958015

Claim:
A computer system for marketing an integrated circuit, the computer system comprising: a database comprising information of a first set of the integrated circuits that meet performance requirements at predefined nominal power supply characteristics, and information of a second set of the integrated circuits that do not meet the performance requirements at the predefined nominal power supply characteristics and meet performance requirements at predefined non-nominal power supply characteristics; a processor module that is configured to, upon receipt of an electronic request for information regarding the integrated circuit from a second system, identify requested power supply characteristics of the integrated circuit from the electronic request, determine that the requested power supply characteristics satisfy the non-nominal power supply characteristics of the second set of the integrated circuits, and process information in the database to determine whether the second set of the integrated circuits is available; and a communication interface module that is configured to electronically communicate information of the second set of the integrated circuits to the second system in response to determining that the second set of integrated circuits is available.
