An apparatus comprising an integrated circuit having (i) a number of
regions each pre-diffused and configured to be metal-programmed and (ii)
a plurality of pins configured to connect the integrated circuit to a
socket. A logic portion may be implemented on the integrated circuit (i)
configured to implement integrated circuit operations and (ii) having one
or more I/O connections and one or more supply connections. A first group
of the pre-diffused regions are metal-programmed and coupled to said I/O
connections. A second group of the pre-diffused regions are
metal-programmed and coupled to the supply connections.
