Abstract
An integrated circuit device comprises pin resources, a memory controller circuit, a network interface controller circuit, and transmitter circuitry. The pin resources comprise pads coupled to off-chip pins of the integrated circuit device. The memory controller circuit comprises a first interface and the network interface controller circuit comprises a second interface. The transmitter circuitry is configurable to selectively couple either a first signal of the first interface or a second signal of the second interface to a first pad of the pin resources based on a pin distribution between the first interface and the second interface.
