  • Patent number: 7768097
    Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes an inductance loop formed from a connection of lead wires and one or more input/output (I/O) package pins. In one embodiment, the inductance loop is formed from first and second wires which connect a first bonding pad on the integrated circuit chip to a first I/O pin of the package and a third and fourth wires which connect a second bonding pad on the chip to a second I/O pin of the package. To complete the inductor loop, the first and second I/O pins are connected by a third conductor between the pins. The third conductor may include one or more bonding wires and the I/O pins are preferably ones which are adjacent one another. However, the loop may be formed from non-adjacent connections of I/O pins based, for example, on loop-length requirements, space considerations, and/or other design or functional factors. In another embodiment, connection between the first and second I/O pins is established by making the I/O pins have a unitary construction.
