Abstract
The present invention provides an integrated circuit and the method of implementing the same. The integrated circuit includes a die, a base, a covering material and a plurality of pins. The die has at least a first function and a second function and includes a plurality of signal pads and at least a switching pad. The die receives and outputs signals through the signal pads, and the switching pad is utilized to switch the functions of the die. The base is utilized to support the die, and the covering material is utilized to cover the die and the base. One terminal of each pin is inside the covering material and coupled to the corresponding signal pad, and the other terminal of each pin is outside the covering material. The signal pads are connected to the circuits outside the integrate circuit through the pins.
