Abstract:
In a related transmitting circuit employing electromagnetic induction that is used in a communication system, there is a problem in that, because only one inductor is used in the transmitting circuit, it is impossible to perform communication at a data rate higher than the self-resonant frequency of the inductor. A transmitting circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is a transmitting circuit that drives an inductor to transmit data to a semiconductor chip insulated from a semiconductor chip on which the transmitting circuit is mounted, and includes a driving circuit that receives outgoing data transmitted at a data rate higher than the self-resonant frequency of the inductor and outputs an outgoing signal that drives the inductor at the data rate of the outgoing data.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor device including a semiconductor chip and a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package includes an antenna formed of a lead frame, a first wire that connects the antenna and a first electrode pad of the semiconductor chip, and a second wire that connects the antenna and a second electrode pad of the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip is disposed in one of four regions in the semiconductor package sectioned by line segments connecting midpoints of two pairs of opposing sides of the semiconductor package. A centroid of the semiconductor chip is positioned outside a closed curve composed of a straight line segment connecting a first connection point where the antenna and the first wire are connected and a second connection point where the antenna and the second wire are connected, and a line connecting the first and second connection points along the antenna.
