INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS FACILITATING SELECTIVE CONFIGURATION FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

摘要

An integrated circuit (IC) having a selectively-designated electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance characteristic. The IC includes an IC die having an input or output (I/O) node. A first I/O cell of a first type associated with the I/O node provides a first EMC performance characteristic, and a second I/O cell of a second type associated with the I/O node provides a second EMC performance characteristic different from the first EMC performance characteristic. A first bonding pad is electrically coupled with the first I/O cell, and a second bonding pad is electrically coupled with the second I/O cell. The IC die can be packaged into a packaged IC having an I/O pin corresponding to the I/O node. The I/O pin is wired to one of either the first bonding pad or the second bonding pad, but not to the other, such that a pinout for the I/O node is preferentially provided having one of either the first EMC performance characteristic or the second EMC performance characteristic.
