Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a die; a lead frame including a plurality of leads having substantial portions arranged in a lead plane and electrically connected to the die; at least a substantial portion of one conductive element arranged in a plane positioned adjacent the lead frame and substantially parallel to the lead plane, the conductive element being capacitively coupled to the lead frame such that the conductive element and at least one of the leads cooperatively define a controlled-impedance conduction path; and an encapsulant which encapsulates the leads and the conductive element, the device including connection regions which are not covered by the encapsulant and which are electrically connected to the leads and the conductive element, at least some of the connection regions being formed integrally with the leads, wherein the controlled-impedance conduction path has a length of at least one millimeter.
