Patent ID: 6982220

Claim:
A method of distributing power in a semiconductor device, comprising; providing at least one pair of bond pads to the semiconductor device; providing an input/output bond pad to an outer periphery of the semiconductor device, the input/output bond pad to receive and input/output bond wire operable for electrically connecting to a lead finger of a package, wherein the leader finger is arranged on the package outside of the outer periphery of the semiconductor die; connecting a single corresponding bond wire between each of the at least one pair of bond pads such that each bond pad of each of the at least one pair of bond pads has only one bond wire end connected thereto; locating a first bond pad of the at least one pair of bond pads in an internal portion of the semiconductor die; and electrically connecting the input/output bond pad to a second bond pad of the at least one pair of bond pads.
