Abstract: A packaged semiconductor die may include a package terminal array comprising a plurality of terminals, wherein a spacing between the plurality of terminals of the ball grid array is less than 0.5 mm. First and second high-voltage circuits of the die may output a differential signal to a first and second terminal that may exceed 15 volts, in which the first high-voltage circuit and the second high-voltage circuit are positioned symmetrically around an axis and in which the first terminal and the second terminal are located at an edge of the package terminal array. A low-voltage circuit may be coupled to a third terminal and positioned between the first high-voltage circuit and the second high-voltage circuit, wherein the low-voltage circuit comprises circuitry organized in columns aligned along an axis and having a width defined by a fraction of the terminal spacing pitch.
