Abstract

A die package generally including (A) ground paths routing a power ground from a ground power set of contact pads in a first conductive layer to a ground ring in a second conductive layer, (B) core paths routing a core voltage from a core power set of contact pads in the first conductive layer to a core ring in the second conductive layer, and (C) input/output voltage paths routing input/output voltages from an input/output power set of contact pads in the first conductive layer to an input/output ring in the second conductive layer, (i) the input/output ring surrounding the core ring, (ii) the ring being configured to power input and output circuits of the die, (iii) the input/output ring being split into ring segments isolated from each other and (iv) at least one particular ring segment having a length of less than a single connector pitch.
