Patent ID: 7538437

Claim:
An infrared receiver chip for installation in a standardized lead frame of an infrared receiver module having contact areas for connection to an input signal point, a ground point, a signal output point, and/or a power supply point of the lead frame by conductor paths, wherein the contact areas for connecting the ground point, the signal output point, and the power supply point are positioned on a common line running at an angle from a first outer edge to a second outer edge of the infrared receiver chip, wherein the contact area for connection to the input signal point is positioned on a line with the contact area for connection to the ground point, which line runs substantially parallel to the first outer edge that is associated with the ground point or the input point of the infrared receiver chip, and wherein, when the infrared receiver chip is installed in a standardized lead frame, the conductor paths do not intersect one another when the conductor paths are routed directly from their associated contact area to their associated function point.
