Abstract

In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a packaging substrate and a die on the packaging substrate. The die includes an integrated passive device and a contact providing an electrical connection to the integrated passive device. A conductive trace of the packaging substrate is in an electrical path between the contact of the die and a ground potential. Such an integrated passive device and conductive trace can be included in a matching network configured to receive an amplified radio frequency signal from a power amplifier, for example. The packaging substrate can be, for example, a laminate substrate.
