Patent ID: 8754513

Claim:
A lead frame comprising: a die attach pad; a first plurality of conductive finger ends arranged within a first elongated region, wherein the first elongated region is located along a first edge of the die attach pad, and wherein each of the first plurality of conductive finger ends faces the first edge of the die attach pad; a second plurality of conductive finger ends arranged within a second elongated region, wherein the second elongated region has an end adjacent to an end of the first elongated region; and a plurality of elongated conductive regions arranged around the die attach pad, wherein the plurality of elongated conductive regions comprise (i) a first elongated conductive region positioned between the first elongated region and the first edge of the die attach pad and (ii) a second elongated conductive region positioned adjacent to the first elongated conductive region, wherein the first elongated conductive region comprises (i) a first section and (ii) a second section, wherein the first section is separated from the second section by a space between the first section and the second section, wherein the first section is electrically coupled to the second section via the second elongated conductive region, and wherein the second elongated region is positioned at an angle that is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees from the first elongated region.
