Patent ID: 7763966

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a die pad; a semiconductor chip formed on the die pad, said semiconductor chip having a plurality of pads and a differential amplifier circuit formed on a main surface thereof, said plurality of pads having a first signal pad and a second signal pad each electrically connected to said differential amplifier circuit, and having a first fixed potential pad and a second fixed potential pad; a plurality of inner leads being disposed to surround said semiconductor chip, said plurality of inner leads having a first signal inner lead, a second signal inner lead disposed adjacent to said first signal inner lead to form a pair of differential signal leads, a first fixed potential inner lead disposed along said first signal inner lead at one side of said pair of differential signal leads, and a second fixed potential inner lead disposed along said second signal inner lead at the other side of said pair of differential signal leads, such that said pair of differential signal leads is disposed between said first and second fixed potential inner leads in a plan view provided around said die pad; a plurality of wires connecting together said plurality of inner leads and said plurality of pads, respectively, such that said first and second signal inner leads are connected with said first and second signal pads, respectively, and said first and second fixed potential inner leads are connected with said first and second fixed potential pads, respectively; and a resin member sealing said semiconductor chip, said die pad, said plurality of inner leads, and said plurality of wires, wherein said first signal inner lead and said second signal inner lead are disposed apart from each other by a first distance, said first signal inner lead and said first fixed potential signal inner lead are disposed apart from each other by a second distance, and said second signal inner lead and said second fixed potential inner lead are disposed apart from each other by a third distance, and said first distance is greater than each of said second distance and said third distance.
