Abstract
A novel apparatus for cooling, supporting, and packaging power electronics. An elongated heat exchanger having a rectangular cross-section may carry and cool plural electronic devices. Plural heat exchangers may be arranged to form a chassis for two-sided cooling. Electronic devices on the heat exchangers may be interconnected and configured using circuitry bonded to a power pack cover. Circuitry on the cover, e.g., for reducing internal inductance, CTE mismatch and preventing voltage overshoot at turn-off, may be cooled through physical connections with electronic devices carried by the heat exchangers.
