Patent ID: 7508069

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; a semiconductor die disposed on the second side 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 plurality of leaded IC pads of the flex circuitry and the lower major surface of the leaded packaged IC contacting the first side of the flex circuitry, the flex circuitry being folded about the body of the leaded packaged IC to place the semiconductor die closer to the lower major side than the upper major side of the leaded packaged IC.
