Publication number: 20090059546Abstract: An embodiment of an electronic component includes a circuit element disposed within a package, which includes a surface and at least one standoff protruding from the surface. For example, where the circuit element is an inductor in a power supply, the standoff may allow one to mount the inductor component over another component, such as a transistor component. Therefore, the layout area of such a power supply may be smaller than the layout area of a power supply in which the inductor and transistor components are mounted side by side.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2008Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: INTERSIL AMERICAS INC.Inventor: Kun Xing
