Abstract: A power train assembly is provided. The power train assembly includes a component package including a first transistor having a first gate, a first drain, and a first source, a second transistor having a second gate, a second drain, and a second source, and a thermal pad configured to dissipate heat generated in the component package, wherein the thermal pad is electrically coupled to the first source and the second drain. The power train assembly further includes a printed circuit board (PCB) electrically coupled to the component package, and an electrical component electrically coupled directly to the thermal pad, wherein the electrical component is external to the component package.
