Patent ID: 8395246

Claim:
A leadframe for receiving a semiconductor die having die bond pads along only two adjacent edges, the leadframe having a first side for receiving adjacent thereto a first edge of the semiconductor die, the first edge of the semiconductor die including die bond pads, the leadframe including a second side, adjacent the first side, for receiving adjacent thereto a second edge of the semiconductor die, the second edge of the semiconductor die including die bond pads, and the leadframe including third and fourth sides adjacent the first and second sides, the leadframe comprising: a first set of electrical leads on the first and second sides of the leadframe, the first set of electrical leads including first ends positioned to terminate proximate to bond pads along the first and second edges of the semiconductor die; and a second set of electrical leads on the third and fourth sides of the leadframe, the second set of electrical leads being longer than the first set of electrical leads and the second set of electrical leads including first ends positioned to terminate proximate to bond pads on the first and second edges of the semiconductor die.
