ISOLATION DEVICE AND METHOD OF TRANSMITTING A SIGNAL ACROSS AN ISOLATION MATERIAL USING WIRE BONDS
An isolation system and isolation device are disclosed. An illustrative isolation device is disclosed to include a transmitter circuit to generate a first current in accordance with a first signal, a first elongated conducting element to generate a magnetic field when the first current flows through the first elongated conducting element, a second elongated conducting element adjacent to the first elongated conducting element so as to receive the magnetic field. The second elongated conducting element is configured to generate an induced current when the magnetic field is received. The receiver circuit is configured to receive the induced current as an input, and configured to generate a reproduced first signal as an output of the receiver circuit.

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH ON-DIE POWER DISTRIBUTION BARS
A packaged IC device has a power bar assembly with one or more power distribution bars, mounted on top of the IC die, which enables assembly using a lead frame that does not include any power distribution bars. External power supply voltages are brought to the IC die by (i) a corresponding first bond wire that connects a lead frame lead to a corresponding die-mounted power distribution bar and (ii) a corresponding second bond wire that connects the power distribution bar to a corresponding bond pad on the IC die. As such, different types of packaged IC devices having different numbers and/or configurations of power distribution bars can be assembled using a single, generic lead frame design having a die pad, tie bars, and leads, but no power distribution bars.
