Hmm. #notanexpert but I don't think i have come across this type of chip before, with an additional solder pad on top.
Microscope picture of a chip with an exposed die because the magic smoke inside has rapidly expanded and created a new opening for convenient viewing of the insides of the chip. Also pictured: pretty crater, some smoke traces and some molten pastic Not pictured: person on the other end of the microscope, wondering which test point should not have been probed some minutes ago.
