Abstract
An electronic control unit (ECU) with separable cooling and memory modules is described. The cooling module has an integrated liquid-cooling circuit with a direct connection to the cooling circuit. The memory module includes an independent memory that can store data and be tested independent of the cooling module. The cooling module and the memory module contact at thermal-contact surfaces to enable cooling when installed in a vehicle. In this way, the cooling module may provide cooling through the thermal-contact surface to one or more memory modules and the memory module may be implemented without an internal cooling system.
