Abstract:
A lateral transfer path within an adjustable-width signaling interface of an integrated circuit component is formed by a chain of logic segments that may be intercoupled in different groups to effect the lateral data transfer required in different interface width configurations, avoiding the need for a dedicated transfer path per width configuration and thereby substantially reducing number of interconnects (and thus the area) required to implement the lateral transfer structure.

Claim (Index 34):
A method of operation within an integrated circuit device having multiplexing circuits coupled between signaling contacts and storage elements, each multiplexing circuit having a data signal output coupled to a respective one of the storage elements, a first data signal input coupled to a respective one of the signaling contacts, and a second data signal input coupled to the data signal output of a neighboring one of the multiplexing circuits, the method comprising:\n storing, within a programmable mode register of the integrated circuit device, an interface width value that indicates how many of the signaling contacts are to receive respective data signals during operation of the integrated circuit device; and outputting configuration signals to the multiplexing circuits in either a first state or a second state in accordance with the interface width value; and within each of the multiplexing circuits, switchably coupling the data signal output to either the first data signal input or the second data signal input according to whether a respective one of the configuration signals is in the first state or the second state, respectively.
