Abstract: The present invention discloses several means for combining together electrically and physically a single or multi-pole discrete magnetic device structure into an external main power-processing assembly or structure, which contains power semiconductor components and other power components. The point of interface and electrical connection mainly consists of winding terminations, power semiconductors and capacitors and creating the most optimum path for high frequency current flow and distribution in that region. This invention discloses several optimum methods for combining the two structures not previously done in prior art. In addition, the disclosure resolves how to optimize the high frequency current distribution at the point of connection or interface of the two discrete assemblies. It does so by creating interleaving layers of countervailing current flow and parallel paths of current flow on each layer at the interface or connection point of the two discrete assemblies.

Abstract: A magnetic device assembly is provided for maximizing the size of the magnetic components for a predetermined power converter module by co-locating and sharing input, output, and auxiliary terminals between the substrates for the power converter and the magnetic components. Wherein complete power module is the result of constructing the separate constituent parts which include an integrated magnetic substrate, magnetic elements mounted therein, a power converter substrate, associated incorporated components located top and bottom on the power converter substrate, a composite mechanical footprint as defined by the mechanical extents of the integrated magnetic substrate and power converter substrate, and a composite electrical pinout as defined by the input-output pins which are coincident to and co-located as those of the integrated magnetic and power converter substrates.
