A synchronous Buck converter in a molded package (thickness 101 between 0.8 and 1.0 mm) has vertically assembled control (110) and sync (120) power FET chips and a driver chip (630). The sync chip has one power terminal attached to the leadframe pad (104) and the opposite power terminal covered by a first copper layer (125) connected (210) to a first leadframe terminal (105), the first layer providing a smaller resistance to a current between first terminal and pad than the resistance through the sync chip. The control chip has one power terminal attached to the first layer and the opposite power terminal covered by a second copper layer (115) connected (410) to a second leadframe terminal (106), the second layer providing a smaller resistance to a current from the first to the second terminal than the resistance through the control chip. Connections (210, 410) of layers (125, 115) to leadframe terminals (105, 106) are copper wires of 20 to 50 μm diameter, enabling currents between 3 and 30 A.
