Abstract: A galvanic isolation device includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die that has communication circuitry formed in a circuit layer below the top surface. A first conductive plate is formed on the IC die proximate the top surface, and is coupled to the communication circuitry. A dielectric isolation layer is formed over a portion of the top surface of the IC after the IC is fabricated such that the dielectric isolation layer completely covers the conductive plate. A second conductive plate is juxtaposed with the first conductive plate but separated by the dielectric isolation layer such that the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate form a capacitor. The second conductive plate is configured to be coupled to a second communication circuit.

Abstract: A packaged integrated circuit (IC) includes a leadframe including a die pad and leads around the die pad, an analog IC die having first bond pads on its active top side, and a second circuit including second circuit bond pads attached to the analog IC die by an attachment layer configured as a ring with a hollow center that provides an inner gap. A bottom side of the analog IC or the second circuit is attached to the die pad. Bond wires couple at least some of the first bond pads or some of the second circuit bond pads to the leads, and there is a second coupling between others of the second circuit bond pads and others of the first bond pads. A mold compound is for encapsulating the second circuit and the analog IC.
