Patent ID: 7511369

Claim:
An electronic module comprised of: at least one TSOP package having an upper surface and a lower surface and having a pair of longitudinal sides and a pair of lateral sides, said TSOP package comprising an encapsulant, an integrated circuit die and an internal lead frame, at least one of said longitudinal or lateral sides having a predetermined portion of said encapsulant removed to define at least one lead frame access lead that is exposed on and coplanar with the surface of its respective longitudinal or lateral side, a reroute substrate bonded to said lower surface and comprising at least one electrically conductive trace and at least one reroute substrate access lead, said at least one reroute substrate access lead in electrical connection with said at least one electrically conductive trace, said lead frame access lead in electrical connection with said reroute substrate access lead by means of a metalized trace defined upon and coplanar with said longitudinal or lateral side, means for electrically connecting said at least one conductive metal trace to an external electronic circuit.
