Abstract
An integrated circuit capable of dual configuration of data flow and operable in a plurality of operational modes is provided. The circuit includes eight corner pins, wherein the eight corner pins comprise a first corner pin and a second corner pin on each side of the circuit in each of four side sets, wherein a first corner pin of one side of the circuit is proximate and adjacent to a second corner pin of an adjacent side counterclockwise from the first corner pin and together constitute a paired corner set, each paired corner set comprising a differential input and a differential output.
