  • Ideal operational amplifier layout techniques for reducing package stress and configurations therefor
    Patent number: 6939736
    Abstract: A method of reducing package stress includes placing matched components of an op-amp substantially in a region of a die having the least stress gradients. The region is located in the center of the die. Further, the center is the common centroid of the die. The matched components are the current mirror input stages of the op-amp. In one embodiment, a semiconductor configuration includes a die having a region with the least stress gradients, and an op-amp containing matched components that are located substantially in the region.
