Patent ID: 7937683

Claim:
A configurable semiconductor chip module system comprising: analog elements; digital elements; connection elements between said analog elements and said digital elements, wherein: a first set of said analog elements and said digital elements receives inputs from respective sources; and a second set of said analog elements and said digital elements generates at least one of output signals for generating control signals having selected electrical and time spatial properties and outputs presenting one or more measurements based on said inputs from said first set of said analog elements and said digital elements to one or more output receiving elements; and a configuration mechanisms that automatically configures said connection elements between said analog elements and said digital elements in response to receiving at least one of: a desired input, a desired output, a desired output signal, and a desired feedback from selections entered on a user interface, said user interface is configured to execute on the configurable semiconductor chip module system and wherein said user interface is a graphical user interface that allows a non-technical user to input commands to the chip module and functionally control operation of said chip module, said connection elements being configurable after creation of said analog elements and said digital elements.
