Abstract:
A method of generating a model of a leadframe IC package, a leadframe modeler and an IC design system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes: (1) adding connectivity information to a geometric representation of a leadframe, wherein the connectivity information represents electrical connections between the IC die and leads of the leadframe and (2) formatting the leads to represent BGA point of contacts for the IC die.
