Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates generally to power converter devices used in association with semiconductor systems. In particular, the invention refers to power converters used in DC-DC power level shifting devices and associated packages having reduced sizes and footprints. Also, the invention relates to methods of construction and packaging of these reduced size converter packages.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In the field of electronic and computer devices, there is a need for converting one power level to another power level to enable the operation of various systems. The power level required for the various electronic systems is quite commonly different from a power level provided to the electronic device. Also, several different power levels may be required to power the various systems of an electronic device.
[0003] Also, the same electronic device typically includes systems requiring several different power levels. Thus, in many electronic devices, there...
