Abstract
A power quad flat no-lead (PQFN) package includes a driver integrated circuit (IC) situated on a leadframe. The PQFN package further includes low-side U-phase, low-side V-phase, and low-side W-phase power switches situated on the leadframe. A logic ground of the leadframe is coupled to a support logic circuit of the driver IC. A power stage ground of the leadframe is coupled to sources of the low-side U-phase, low-side V-phase, and low-side W-phase power switches. The power stage ground can further be coupled to gate drivers of the driver IC.
