Integrated circuit package device
First Claim
1. A package device having a patterned lead frame with at least two isolated patterned dies mounted thereon, the package device additionally having a planar transformer component, the planar transformer component comprising at least two planar transformers, each being individually mounted to the lead frame between the at least two patterned dies, the transformers adapted to provide for the selective coupling of energy between the two dies.

Abstract
The invention relates to integrated circuit package devices including at least two component chips. In particular the invention describes such devices having a transformer provided between the two components chips, the transformer providing isolation between the component chips and wherein the total assembly is sufficiently small that it can be integrated in standard IC packages.

- 16. An integrated multi-chip package device comprising a first chip, a second chip and a planar isolating transformer component provided between the first and second chip, the first chip, the second chip and the planar transformer component being formed of two planar transformers on segmented portions of the lead frame of the package device.
-
19. A method of isolating components provided on a packaged multi-die device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) providing a patterned lead frame, b) mounting on the lead frame a plurality of patterned dies, and c) coupling energy between at least two of the patterned dies via at least two planar isolating transformers, the planar isolating transformers being provided on a separate component within the package to the dies being coupled.
