SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP PACKAGE WITH DIRECTION-FLEXIBLE MOUNTABILITY

摘要

A semiconductor chip package with direction-flexible mountability comprising a switching circuit for switching a pin function according to the mounting direction of a package, a pair of pin-definition pins for defining the pin function and a pair of power supply leads, and a pair of ground leads. One of the power supply lead pair and the ground lead pair is rotation-symmetrical to the other, respectively. The semiconductor chip package with direction-flexible mountability in accordance with the present invention eliminates a process for indicating the mounting direction because the package can be mounted onto a substrate regardless the direction. Accordingly, the ID pin indication and a series of processes for testing the ID pin are eliminated and the malfunction due to the incorrect direction is prevented.
