Abstract
The present invention provides a modular electronic component (10) wherein a sequence: of leads (26) of a lead frame (12) differs from a sequence of bonding pads (16) on an integrated circuit (14). When lead frame (12) is placed adjacent integrated circuit (14), first and second power buses (22) and (24) are disposed on a first side (18) of bonding pads (16). First portion (30) of leads (26) and lead finger (28) are disposed on second side (20) of bonding pads (16). Bonding members (42) couple appropriate bonding pads (16) with corresponding leads (26), first and second power buses (22) and (24), and lead finger (28). In this manner, the pin out of modular electronic component (10) may be altered by incorporating appropriate lead fingers (28) without changing the sequence of bonding pads (16).
