Abstract
A packaged semiconductor device is disclosed having at least two electronic components encapsulated in a single body of standard size and pin-out configuration. In accordance with one embodiment of this invention, two leadframes, having electronic components electrically coupled thereto, are positioned such that the electronic components are in a stacked relationship and the outer portions of the two sets of leads within each leadframe are interdigitated. The configuration enables all components to be accessed independently and minimizes the footprint of the device while maintaining a standard package outline.
