A coupling device provides galvanic isolation using a leadframe that is configured to support two integrated circuit chips in a coplanar manner. Each chip contains an inductive coupling coil. The lead frame includes a set of bond pads for attaching bond wires to couple to the two integrated circuit chips. Two separated die attach pads support the two chips. Each die attach pad is configured to support one of the two integrated circuit chips with a plurality of cantilevered fingers.

An embedded coil assembly embodiment includes a ferrite ring having an annular axis. The ferrite ring is positioned on a conductive metal surface. A plurality of separate, spaced apart conductive structures extend over the ferrite ring and are attached to the conductive metal surface in a first region of the conductive surface positioned radially outwardly of the annular axis of the ferrite ring and in a second region of the conductive surface positioned radially inwardly of the annular axis of the ferrite ring. An encapsulation layer covers, the ferrite ring and at least a portion of the plurality of conductive structures.

Embedded coil assembly and method of making

An embodiment of coil assembly includes a laterally disposed ferrite ring having a central opening. A laterally disposed annular conductive member is positioned above the ferrite ring and has a plurality of spaced-apart circumferential segments. A plurality of bond wires are connected at opposite ends thereof to outer and inner portions of the plurality of spaced-apart circumferential segments. A layer of mold compound covers the ferrite ring and the bond wires.

Embedded coil assembly and production method

A method of forming a packaged electronic device includes fabricating a MEMS structure, such as a BAW structure, on a first semiconductor wafer substrate; forming a cavity in a second semiconductor wafer substrate; and mounting the second substrate on the first substrate such that the MEMS structure is positioned inside the cavity in the second substrate. A wafer level assembly and an integrated circuit package are also described.
