Abstract: To achieve high density integration of components while securing an insulation distance between a bootstrap capacitor and an intelligent power module. In a printed wiring board, a region where a capacitor is mounted is located in a region where an intelligent power module is mounted. Therefore, the capacitor mounted on the printed wiring board is placed between the printed wiring board and the intelligent power module.
