Abstract
A semiconductor device system for coupling with external circuitry. The system includes a control signal on a carrier substrate. A semiconductor device is attached to the carrier substrate with an impedance matching device coupled to the control signal.
Claims12
A semiconductor device system configured for electrical connection to external circuitry, the semiconductor device system comprising:
- a carrier substrate;
- at least one control signal on the carrier substrate;
- at least one semiconductor device secured to the carrier substrate and having at least one control signal input operably coupled to the at least one control signal;
- and
- at least one impedance matching device secured to the carrier substrate and operably coupled to the at least one control signal.
2 more elements
A method of conditioning a control signal on a carrier substrate comprising;
- securing at least one semiconductor device to the carrier substrate;
- operably connecting the control signal to a control signal input on the at least one semiconductor device;
- selecting an impedance matching device substantially equal to a total impedance of the control signal inputs on one or more of the at least one semiconductor device;
- and
- operably connecting the impedance matching device to the control signal.
