  • Publication number: 20230129232
    Abstract: A multi-chip module (MCM) package includes a leadframe including half-etched lead terminals including a full-thickness and half-etched portion, and second lead terminals including a thermal pad(s). A first die is attached by a dielectric die attach material to the half-etched lead terminals. The first die includes first bond pads coupled to first circuitry configured for receiving a control signal and for outputting a coded signal and a transmitter. The second die includes second bond pads coupled to second circuitry configured for a receiver with a gate driver. The second die is attached by a conductive die attach material to the thermal pad. Bond wires include die-to-die bond wires between a portion of the first and second bond pads. A high-voltage isolation device is between the transmitter and receiver. A mold compound encapsulates the first and the second die.
