Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit (IC) fabricated on a semiconductor die, comprising: a control circuit occupying a first area of the semiconductor die, the control circuit having first and second sides, the first side being orthogonal to the second side; a first output transistor occupying a second area of the semiconductor die, the first output transistor having a first length that extends in a direction parallel to the first side; a second output transistor occupying a third area of the semiconductor die, the second output transistor having a second length that extends in a direction perpendicular to the second side, the second length being substantially equal to a difference between the first length and the length of the first side, the first length being at least 20% longer than a length of the first side of the control circuit; and wherein at least one of the first and second output transistors are coupled to the control circuit.
