  • Electronic assembly with enhanced high power density
    Patent number: 10356926
    Abstract: An electronic assembly comprises a gate drive module comprising multiple circuit board layers sandwiched together, where each layer has a central opening that is aligned with the other layers. A switching circuit chipset is positioned in the central opening. The switching circuit chipset has lead frames for providing electrical connections to the switching circuit chipset. The lead frames are alignable with pockets in two or more of the layers to facilitate alignment of the contact portions of the lead frames with corresponding conductive pads on the circuit board.
    Type: Grant
