MULTI-FUNCTION MINIATURIZED SURFACE-MOUNT DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A surface-mount device (SMD) uses no conventional lead frame and contains a multi-function die module formed from either a single die or two or more dies electrically connected in series, in parallel, or in any combination of series and parallel, to provide such a SMD having one or more different functions including wave filtration, rectification, surge protection, sensing, current limiting, voltage regulation or prevention from voltage backflow, as compared to the prior art, the SMD disclosed is formed from fewer components, is simpler to manufacture and more effectively reduce layout wire length and noise.
