Patent ID: 7923832

Claim:
An integrated circuit package comprising: a substrate provided with a number (N) of pin terminals thereon, said pin terminals extending outwardly of said substrate; a cover plate disposed on said substrate and provided with a number (N) of pinhole terminals therein; and an integrated circuit chip mounted on said substrate, and formed with a first solder pad unit that includes a number (N) of first solder pads coupled respectively and wiredly to said pin terminals, and a second solder pad unit that includes a number (N) of second solder pads coupled respectively and wiredly to said pinhole terminals, said integrated circuit chip including a main circuit unit including a first port unit that includes a number (M) of first ports, where N−M≧2, and a second port unit that includes a number (P) of second ports, where P≦N, a pin transmission unit coupled between said first port unit of said main circuit unit, and said first solder pad unit, a pinhole transmission unit coupled between said second port unit of said main circuit unit, and said second solder pad unit, and a control unit coupled to said pin transmission unit, said pinhole transmission units and said first solder pad unit, and operable so as to control operation of said pin and pinhole transmission units such that each of said first ports of said first port unit of said main circuit unit is coupled to a selected one of said first solder pads of said first solder unit through said pin transmission unit, and that each of said second ports of said second port unit of said main circuit unit is coupled to a selected one of said second solder pads of said second solder pad unit through said pinhole transmission unit.
