Abstract
A semiconductor device package has a lead frame with four or more die receiving pads. The first pad is large enough to receive two or more of the die, laterally spaced from one another, while the other pads receive at least one die each. The die may be arranged in a single straight path, or in spaced parallel paths. The tops of selected ones of the die are bonded to lead frame elements of adjacent pads to complete bridge type circuits within the package. The die and pads are enclosed by a molded plastic housing and short sections of the pads protrude through the housing wall.
