Abstract: An integrated force sensing element includes a piezoelectric sensor formed in an integrated circuit (IC) chip and a strain gauge at least partially overlying the piezoelectric sensor, where the piezoelectric sensor is able to flex. A human-machine interface using the integrated force sensing element is also disclosed and may include a conditioning circuit, temperature gauge, FRAM and a processor core.

Abstract: In described examples, an integrated circuit includes a leadframe structure, which includes electrical conductors. A first coil structure is electrically connected to a first pair of the electrical conductors of the leadframe structure. The first coil structure is partially formed on a semiconductor die structure. A second coil structure is electrically connected to a second pair of the electrical conductors of the leadframe structure. The second coil structure is partially formed on the semiconductor die structure. A molded package structure encloses portions of the leadframe structure. The molded package structure exposes portions of the first and second pairs of the electrical conductors to allow external connection to the first and second coil structures. The molded package structure includes a cavity to magnetically couple portions of the first and second coil structures.

Abstract: A method of forming, and a resulting, an integrated circuit wave device. The method (i) affixes an integrated circuit die relative to a substrate; (ii) creates a form relative to the integrated circuit die and the substrate; and (iii) forms a wave shaping member having a shape conforming at least in part to a shape of the form.

Abstract: Integrated circuits with a molded package including a cavity and a semiconductor die spaced from an interior surface of the molded package within the cavity. The semiconductor die includes one or more electrical components, a thermal control component to control the temperature of the electrical component, and a driver to provide a current or voltage signal to the thermal control component at least partially according to a setpoint signal.
