Patent ID: 7304382

Claim:
A circuit module comprising: flex circuitry having first and second sides, the flex circuitry having a plurality of leaded IC pads adapted for connection of a leaded packaged IC, the second side having an array of module contacts and plural flex pads, the flex circuitry having a window that penetrates the flex circuitry; a semiconductor die disposed in the window of the flex circuitry, the semiconductor die being connected to the flex circuitry; a leaded packaged IC having a body and upper and lower major surfaces, plural peripheral sides, and leads emergent from at least a first one of the plural peripheral sides of the leaded packaged IC, the leads being connected to the flex circuitry, the flex circuitry being folded about the body of the leaded packaged IC to place the array of module contacts closer to the upper major surface than the lower major surface of the leaded packaged IC and the plural flex pads closer to the lower major surface than the upper major surface of the leaded packaged IC.
