Abstract
One embodiment comprises a printed circuit board having a cavity. A leadframe having a leadframe paddle and at least one lead is situated with the cavity. A reference plane is situated within the printed circuit board at a predetermined distance below the at least one lead in a manner so as to result in a controlled impedance of the at least one lead. A total lead length of the at least one lead consists of an encased lead length and a free space lead length. By controlling the predetermined distance, the dielectric constant of the mold compound, the dielectric constant of the printed circuit board, the total lead length, the encased lead length, and the free space lead length of the at least one lead, the disclosed embodiment results in a controlled impedance of the at least one lead.
