Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a leadframe that includes pins, where the pins have a proximate end and a distal end. A die is attached to the proximate end of the pins of the leadframe and a mold compound encapsulates the die. An electronic component is attached to the leadframe. The distal end of at least two of the pins are substantially perpendicular to the proximate end of the pins in a first direction and the distal end of the remaining pins are substantially perpendicular to the proximate end of the pins in a second direction that is opposite that of the first direction.
