VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES

In a general aspect, an apparatus can include a leadframe including a plurality of leads disposed along a single edge of the apparatus. The apparatus can also include an assembly including a substrate and a plurality of semiconductor die disposed on the substrate, the assembly being mounted on the leadframe and an inductor having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal of the inductor can be electrically coupled with the leadframe via a first conductive clip, where the first terminal of the inductor can be coupled with a contact pad of the first conductive clip. The second terminal of the inductor can be electrically coupled with the leadframe via a second conductive clip, where the second terminal of the inductor can be coupled with a contact pad of the second conductive clip. The leadframe, the assembly and the inductor can be arranged in a stacked configuration.
