Abstract
A chip with an adjustable pinout function is disclosed. The chip includes a first pinout, a second pinout, a logic circuit, and a selecting circuit. The logic circuit includes a first port and a second port. The selecting circuit, which is coupled to the logic circuit, the first pinout, and the second pinout, controls the first pinout to be coupled to the first port or the second port, and controls the second pinout to be coupled to the first port or the second port.
Claims24
