Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a leadframe comprising multiple leads extending linearly from an integrated circuit, said multiple leads comprising electrical contacts to form interfaces to said integrated circuit, wherein multiple electrical contacts are connected to said integrated circuit for establishing multiple paths to said integrated circuit from an external system; multiple components placed on said multiple leads external to said integrated circuit and comprising at least a blocking capacitor placed between multiple paths to enhance electromagnetic compatibility; and a first housing and a second housing encapsulating separate portions of said leadframe and comprising separate plastic overmoldings to form sealed enclosures for protecting said separate portions, said first housing enclosing said integrated circuit, said second housing enclosing said multiple components external to said integrated circuit, said multiple leads extending from said first housing and comprising connector pins to terminate said multiple leads external to said second housing, one or more of said connector pins arranged to connect to said external system, said multiple leads including at least one lead comprising multiple predefined bases and multiple other leads, said multiple predefined bases to connect to said multiple components external to said integrated circuit and formed on a linear portion of said at least one lead between said electrical contacts and said connector pins, said multiple components placed as crossovers between said multiple other leads and said at least one lead along said multiple paths to said integrated circuit from said external system.
