Abstract:
1. An electrical component comprising: a ball grid array package; and an integrated circuit having four sides mounted on the ball grid array package, wherein the ball grid array package includes a set of contacts disposed near an outer edge of the ball grid array package, a power strip disposed in a region of the ball grid array package along a proximity of and entirely surrounding three of four sides of the integrated circuit such that a region in a proximity along a side of the integrated circuit excludes the power strip, signal traces that extend from a subset of the contacts inward into the region of the ball grid array package excluding the power strip toward the integrated circuit, and wire bonds that couple the signal traces to the integrated circuit to thereby electrically couple the subset of the contacts to the integrated circuit wherein the integrated circuit includes at least one analog circuit disposed along the side of the integrated circuit adjacent to the region excluding the power strip, and the wire bonds electrically couple the subset of contacts to the analog circuit.
