AI Technical Summary
Conventional semiconductor devices face increased line complexity and area requirements due to the need for multiple input/output lines and multiplexers to control data input/output to pads, which complicates internal line patterns and increases device size.
A semiconductor device design that includes a processor, an input/output data converter, and a GPIO input/output unit, which converts communication protocol data into specific forms for transmission via a bus, eliminating the need for a multiplexer and reducing internal line pattern complexity and device area by transmitting data in a specific form directly to GPIO pads.
This design reduces internal line pattern complexity and minimizes the semiconductor device's area by converting communication protocol data into a specific form for direct transmission, thereby simplifying the internal structure and reducing physical size.
