Patent ID: 8492762

Claim:
A system comprising: an array of sensors based on a given sensing modality; an interface for electrically coupling a plurality of analog signals from the array of sensors to a data acquisition system comprising at least one integrated circuit for providing a desired signal conditioning to the analog signals; and a chip scale integrated circuit package for the interface comprising at least a first region and a second region, the first region being spaced apart and opposite to the second region of the package, wherein the first region of the package comprises a plurality of interfaces and a first plurality of lines for interconnecting to the integrated circuit the analog signals from the sensor array, and wherein the second region of the package comprises a plurality of interfaces for interconnecting to electrically conductive vias disposed between the second region and the first region of the package, and, through a second plurality of lines, for interconnecting to the integrated circuit and wherein the first and second plurality of lines are arranged in the integrated circuit package to segregate the analog signals, a plurality of digital or power signals carried by the second plurality of lines, thereby segregating within the integrated circuit package the analog signals from the plurality of digital or power signals.
