1. A microelectronic device, comprising:
a leadframe disposed longitudinally between first and second ends and disposed latitudinally between first and second sides, the leadframe including—
a first lead extending between the first end and the second end;
a second lead extending between the first end and the first side; and
a die paddle disposed longitudinally between the first and second ends and disposed latitudinally between the first and second sides;
a first die mechanically coupled to the die paddle of the leadframe, the first die having a first edge proximate the first end at the leadframe, a second edge spaced inwardly of the second end of the leadframe, integrated circuitry, and an external terminal electrically connected to the integrated circuitry; and
a first wire bond electrically coupling one of the leads of the leadframe and the terminal of the first die.
