Patent ID: 8178901

Claim:
Integrated circuit assembly (ICA), comprising: a digital and/or analog integrated circuit, comprising: a core; input and/or output pins coupled to the core; at least one power supply connection pad and one ground connection pad connected to one of said input and/or output pins and respectively connected to a power supply connection zone and a ground connection zone of a printed circuit board (PCB); a passive integration substrate arranged in a flipped position on said digital and/or analog integrated circuit, comprising: first and second input zones respectively connected to said ground and power supply connection pads; input and/or output zones connected to core input and/or output pins; and a passive integrated circuit connected to said first and second input zones and configured to provide said substrate input and/or output zones with ground and supply voltages; and an intermediate substrate wherein the digital and/or analog integrated circuit is arranged on an intermediate substrate, wherein the intermediate substrate comprises: first intermediate connection zones connected to said power supply and ground connection pads and second intermediate connection zones connected to said first intermediate connection zones through vias and to said power supply and ground connection zones through conducting balls.
