Abstract

A surface mounted integrated circuit die package includes a group of peripheral leads extending laterally outwardly from the perimeter of the package and also includes an array of solder balls on the bottom of the package. The arrangement provides for a greater number of input/output connections to a die package by utilizing both peripheral leads and a ball grid array without requiring increases in package size or a reduction in the width of electrically conductive interconnections.
