Abstract
The present invention sets forth an integrated circuit (IC) device wherein the IC chip includes peripheral circuits, such as input/output circuits, which are arranged non-perpendicular with respect to the rectangular shape of the active area of the IC. This structure permits positioning some of the terminal bond pads closely adjacent the corners of the chip without overlap of adjacent circuits.
