  • Patent number: 9426883
    Abstract: A power module with multiple equalized parallel power paths supporting multiple parallel bare die power devices constructed with low inductance equalized current paths for even current sharing and clean switching events. Wide low profile power contacts provide low inductance, short current paths, and large conductor cross section area provides for massive current carrying. An internal gate & source kelvin interconnection substrate is provided with individual ballast resistors and simple bolted construction. Gate drive connectors are provided on either left or right size of the module. The module is configurable as half bridge, full bridge, common source, and common drain topologies.

  • Patent number: 8410600
    Abstract: Provided are a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the semiconductor device, the semiconductor device including: a source trace, a drain trace, and a gate trace placed on a substrate; a transistor which is placed on the drain trace and includes a source pad and a gate pad; insulating films placed between the drain and source traces and between the drain and gate traces on the substrate so as to cover sidewall surfaces of the transistor; a source spray electrode which is placed on the insulating film between the source and drain traces and connects the source pad of the transistor and the source trace; and a gate spray electrode placed on the insulating film between the gate and drain traces and connects the gate pad of the transistor and the gate trace.

  • Patent number: 7965522
    Abstract: High temperature gate driving circuits with improved noise resistance and minimized loss are implemented with high temperature components with a reduced size magnetic isolation transformer. Input broad-pulse width modulated signals are converted to offsetting narrow pulses to cross the reduced size magnetic transformer minimizing isolation losses. One embodiment teaches time and voltage offset narrow single pulses that control a set and reset regeneration of the pulse width output on the secondary side of the transformer. Another embodiment teaches multiple concurrent voltage offset pulses to cross the transformer and charge a threshold capacitor for both filtering noise and controlling the pulse width regeneration on the secondary side of the transformer.
