    摘要: A thermally conductive mounting flange of an IC package is placed directly on a heat sink surface between respective sections of single layer PC board attached to the heat sink, such that electrical leads extending from opposing sides of the package are positioned over corresponding conductive areas formed on the surface of the respective adjacent PC board section. The leads are electrically coupled with the conductive areas by respective tie-down screws fastened through dielectric isolating washers. The screws are tightened sufficiently against the isolating washers so as to press the respective package leads into solid electrical contact with the conductive areas. Portions of the respective leads and conductive areas surrounding the tie-down screws are cut-away to prevent electrical contact, in order to avoid shorting the leads and/or conductive areas to the heat sink via the tie-down screws. Alternately, respective ends of a retaining spring used to secure the IC package to the heat sink mounting flange are also secured by the package lead tie-down screws, such that the screws both secure the package against the heat sink and press the package leads into solid electrical contact with the respective conductive areas.

    摘要: A top surface of a protective cover of an IC component package is provided with a centered-protrusion, e.g., such as a cylindrical peg, that extends above the cover. A retaining-spring is formed by twisting a resilient (e.g., metal) metal strip into a ribbon-like shape having opposing ends that extend from a curvelinear bottom surface. The bottom surface of the retaining-spring is provided with an opening configured to mate with the centered protrusion on the package cover, such that the opposing ends of the retaining-spring extend away from the package cover at substantially the same, albeit reverse angles. In order to mount the IC package to a heat sink, the bottom surface of the retaining-spring may be compressively mated onto the package cover at the same time the package is inserted between two substantially parallel walls protruding from the heat sink surface, wherein the walls are distanced from each other. just so as to cause moderate compression of the opposing ends of the spring toward each other as the package is inserted against the heat sink surface. The opposing surfaces of the two walls are provided with a plurality of notches formed substantially parallel to the heat sink surface in a "ratchet-type" relief pattern, such that the opposing ends of the retaining-spring are held into place by respective notches, once the IC package is secured against the heat sink.

    摘要: A plurality of transistor cells (36) formed on a semiconductor substrate (32) are connected to form a radio frequency power transistor device (30), whereby individual conductive paths (38) are formed on one side of the substrate (32) to connect respective common gate terminals (34) of adjacent transistor cells (36) in series. A further conductive path (40) is formed on an opposite side of the substrate connecting respective drain terminals (35) of the transistor cells (36) in parallel. A resistive element (42) is interposed in the conductive path (38) connecting each adjacent pair of gate terminals (34). The conductivity of the respective resistive elements (42) is selected so as to adequately provide a conductive pathway for connecting the respective gate terminal outputs, while being sufficiently resistive such that each gate terminal 34 "sees" an electrical circuit termination.

    摘要: An RF power transistor package is configured for mounting to a heat sink in a multi-layer pc board, and includes a direct top side electrical ground path from a transistor chip located atop a ceramic substrate to a mounting flange, without passing through the ceramic substrate by way of metal plating an outer surface of the ceramic substrate to electrically connect a top mounted metal lead to the flange. A direct ground path from the transistor chip to the mounting flange is also provided by way of plated via holes through the ceramic substrate. The top side ground path is also configured to connect with the middle ground reference layer of the multi-layer pc board when the mounting flange is secured to the heat sink, so that a unified ground potential is seen by the transistor at both the middle layer and heat sink. In this manner, the power transistor package is grounded at the same reference potential as other elements attached to the pc board, while still having the high performance characteristics provided by the ground path via holes.

    摘要: A desired performance characteristic of an electrical circuit employing a strip conductor is achieved by placing a fluid having a selected dielectric property in contact with at least a portion of the strip conductor, such that the dielectric property of the fluid effects one or more transmission characteristics of the conductor. In one embodiment, the circuit performance is measured and the dielectric property of the fluid adjusted, e.g., in an iterative process, until the desired performance characteristic of the circuit is achieved.
