Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a process for producing the same. The principal surface of a semiconductor pellet is provided with a plurality of first bonding pad electrodes arranged in a first arrangement state and a plurality of second bonding pad electrodes which are provided with substantially the same electric circuit functions as those of the corresponding first bonding pad electrodes and which are arranged in a second arrangement state that is different from the first arrangement state. By virtue of the above-described means, it is possible to connect together pad electrodes and mating external terminals of a mounting substrate in the same way regardless of whether the pellet is mounted according to the face-up or face-down method.

Abstract: A data handling system for an automobile comprises an odometric data generator which provides odometric data corresponding to the travel distance of the automobile. A nonvolatile memory stores total odometric data, an adder receives the odometric data provided from the odometric data generator and the previous total odometric data provided from the nonvolatile memory, and a control circuit controls the writing of data into the nonvolatile memory in accordance with the state of a key switch. The adder receives the present odometric data and the previous odometric data, to thereby provide total odometric data up to the present time. This total odometric data is displayed by an appropriate display device. In response to the turn-off of the key switch, the total odometric data provided from the adder is written into the nonvolatile memory. Thus, an odometer can be implemented in electronic circuit form.
