1. A package including:
- a circuit board;
an set of circuit elements on the circuit board, the set of circuit elements including at least one integrated circuit and passive components; and
packaging material surrounding the set of circuit elements and part of the circuit board, wherein one side of the circuit board includes a set of terminals that are visible from the side of the package, the set of terminals being positioned away from the edge of the circuit board.

Abstract
A small package is provided for a flash EEPROM memory. The small package uses terminals which are part of a bottom conductive layer of a circuit board. In this manner, the final package can be quite thin. The circuit board can be connected to the integrated circuits and passive devices and can be encapsulated in plastic or glued to a plastic cover. In this manner, a thin and relatively inexpensive package can be formed. Additionally, the circuit board can have testing connections which can be removed before forming the final package.
