Patent ID: 7772708

Claim:
An apparatus comprising; a first integrated circuit die; and a base chip carrier coupled to the first integrated circuit die, the base chip carrier configured to interface a circuit board on a first side and having a pad out on a second side disposed about a first axis and a second axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the second axis, to interconnect with a pad out of a second chip carrier with a second integrated circuit die, the second side comprising; a first region having a bus pad out with a first port configuration to transmit data from the first integrated die to the second integrated circuit die; and a second region having a bus pad out of a second port configuration to receive data transmitted by the second integrated circuit die, wherein the first integrated circuit die and the second integrated circuit die are functionally equivalent and the bus pad out of the second port is translated about the first axis from the bus pad out of the first port and rotated one hundred and eighty degrees from the bus pad out of the first port configuration such that busses for the first integrated circuit die and the second integrated circuit die can be fabricated perpendicular to the circuit board.
