Abstract
An integrated circuit for implementing a switch-mode power converter is disclosed. The integrated circuit comprises at least a first semiconductor die having an electrically quiet surface, a second semiconductor die for controlling the operation of said first semiconductor die stacked on said first semiconductor die having said electrically quiet surface and a lead frame structure for supporting said first semiconductor die and electrically coupling said first and second semiconductor dies to external circuitry.
Claims25
A semiconductor device, comprising:
- a first semiconductor die, having a first switching device;
- a second semiconductor die, having a second switching device;
- a third semiconductor die, having control circuits and other periphery circuits;
- and
