Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit includes at least one integrated cell disposed at a location of the integrated circuit. The at least one integrated cell may have two integrated devices coupled to at least one site of the integrated cell and a multiplexer, and the two integrated devices respectively oriented in two different directions of orientation. A first integrated device of the two integrated devices that is oriented in one of the two directions of orientation is usable. The integrated circuit may include a controller configured to detect the direction of orientation which, having regard to the disposition of the integrated cell at the location, may allow the first integrated device to be usable, and to control the multiplexer to couple the first integrated device electrically to the at least one site.
