An integrated circuit device comprising an integrated circuit die mounted
on a leadframe having a plurality of inner leads. The integrated circuit
die has a plurality of bond pads that are electrically connected to the
inner leads of the leadframe, wherein at least two bond pads are
connected to a one of the plurality of inner leads and/or at least two
inner leads are connected to one or more bond pads with a single bond
wire. A single bond wire is connected to a first bond pad or inner lead
and subsequently wedge or stitch bonded to a second bond pad or inner
lead, then it is connected to a third bond pad or inner lead. The single
bond wire requires only one connection area at each of the bond pad(s)
and inner lead(s). The bond pad(s) of the die and inner lead(s) of the
leadframe are thereby electrically connected together by the single bond
wire.
