A lead-frame circuit package comprises a die and a substrate located thereon to route radio frequency signals to/from the die. The package preferably comprises an exposed pad on the die to receive a power amplifier device wherein the substrate is used to provide high-Q elements such as RF chokes on signal paths to/from the power amplifier device. n In this manner, the design benefits from the power capabilities and improved grounding of a lead-frame conductor, whilst also achieving the routeing capabilities and small scale advantages provided by a multi-layer printed circuit substrate. |
