An electronic chip includes a shared strip with first and second spaced apart portions extending along a direction of elongation and an intermediate connecting portion extending between the first and second portions. The second portion is connected to a pad that has a greater surface area than the second portion. The first portion is formed by a first plurality of metallic strips. Metallic strips of the first plurality of metallic strips that are adjacent and side by side are separated by a distance smaller than a width of those metallic strips. The second portion is formed by a second plurality of metallic strips. Metallic strips of the second plurality of metallic strips that are adjacent and side by side are separated by a distance smaller than a width of those metallic strips.

Connection of several circuits of an electronic chip

An electronic chip disclosed herein includes a plurality of IP core circuits, with a shared strip that is at least partially conductive and is linked to a node for applying a fixed potential. A plurality of tracks electrically links the plurality of IP core circuits to the shared strip. Each individual track of the plurality of tracks solely links a single one of said IP core circuits to the shared strip.
