Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first input/output lane comprising first external terminals and first driver circuits. The first driver circuits exchange signals with a first external device through the first external terminals as part of a first external interface. The first input/output lane is part of a sub-bank in an input/output bank that implements at least a part of the first external interface. The integrated circuit includes a second input/output lane comprising second external terminals and second driver circuits. The second driver circuits exchange signals with a second external device through the second external terminals as part of a second external interface. The second input/output lane is part of the sub-bank in the input/output bank that implements at least a part of the second external interface.
