Abstract

The present invention provides for a method and circuit of an integrated circuit (IC) having dual row input/output (I/O). The circuit having a plurality of dual I/Os including an upper row of I/O and a lower row of I/O, with logic arranged in communication between the upper and the lower rows of the dual row I/O. The connectivity with the logic circuits of the present invention therefore provides for improving reliability and performance through more similar and uniform pathway connections. Advantageously, the present invention also provides for the reallocation of valuable footprint space as the logic is embedded within the dual row I/O thereby creating additional footprint space for further performance and other beneficial gain where interconnects as between the physical layer (PHY) logic and I/O cells are generally similar in length.
