Abstract
A printed circuit board, PCB, comprising: a first pin pad (PP1), adapted to be connected to a first pin of an integrated circuit, IC, chip, wherein the first pin of the IC chip is a pin for a D-PHY function and a C-PHY function provided by the IC chip; a first wire (W1), adapted as a line for the D-PHY function; a second wire (W2), adapted as a line for the C-PHY function; and a first assembly option module (A1), adapted to provide a first option of connecting the first pin pad (PP1) to the first wire (W1) if the IC chip to be assembled onto the PCB is to provide the D-PHY function, or to provide a second option of connecting the first pin pad (PP1) to the second wire (W2) if the IC chip to be assembled onto the PCB is to provide the C-PHY function.
Claims12
A printed circuit board (PCB) comprising:
- a first pin pad adapted to be connected to a first pin of an integrated circuit (IC) chip, wherein the first pin of the IC chip is a pin for a D-PHY function and a C-PHY function, according to the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) alliance, provided by the IC chip;
- a first wire adapted as a line for the D-PHY function;
- a second wire adapted as a line for the C-PHY function;
- and
- a first assembly option module adapted to provide a first option of connecting the first pin pad to the first wire if the IC chip to be assembled onto the PCB is to provide the D-PHY function, or to provide a second option of connecting the first pin pad to the second wire if the IC chip to be assembled onto the PCB is to provide the C-PHY function;
- wherein the first wire is a first line for a Clock Lane of the D-PHY function, and the second wire is a first line for a first trio of the C-PHY function.
