Abstract: A power module includes a power substrate, a number of power semiconductor die, and a number of connector pins. The power substrate includes a number of conductive traces. The power semiconductor die are mounted on the power substrate and electrically coupled to the conductive traces. The connector pins are each electrically coupled to a different one of the conductive traces and configured to be interconnected such that the power semiconductor die provide an active front-end and a switching power converter. By providing the power semiconductor die such that they can be interconnected to form an active front-end and a switching power converter in the same power module, the power module may provide a significantly more compact power converter system using both an active front-end and switching power converter.

Abstract: A multichip power module directly connecting the busboard to a printed-circuit board that is attached to the power substrate enabling extremely low loop inductance for extreme environments such as high temperature operation. Wire bond interconnections are taught from the power die directly to the busboard further enabling enable low parasitic interconnections. Integration of on-board high frequency bus capacitors provide extremely low loop inductance. An extreme environment gate driver board allows close physical proximity of gate driver and power stage to reduce overall volume and reduce impedance in the control circuit. Parallel spring-loaded pin gate driver PCB connections allows a reliable and reworkable power module to gate driver interconnections.
