    Abstract: A power module has upper and lower transistor dies carried by a lead frame assembly. The assembly has a positive DC paddle for the upper die and an AC paddle for the lower die. An upper plate interconnects a second side of the upper die with the AC paddle, and a lower plate interconnects a second side of the lower die with a negative power bar. Current flowing via positive and negative power bars defines a power loop creating a main magnetic flux with a first direction in a central region and a return direction outside the central region. The upper and lower plates have outer edges having respective notches to concentrate respective portions of a return magnetic flux. Each die has a gate pad connected in a gate loop, wherein the gate loops each overlap a respective concentrated return flux thereby enhancing a common source inductance for each transistor.

    Abstract: A near field communication (NFC) reader module is provided for mounting over a metal panel of a vehicle. A housing of the module is configured to mount adjacent the metal panel. The housing contains a planar array of non-magnetic RF filter elements in the housing proximate to the metal panel. The housing contains a planar antenna coil configured to couple with an external NFC device carried by a user, wherein the array of RF filter elements is disposed between the planar antenna coil and the metal panel to magnetically decouple the planar antenna coil from the metal panel. The housing further contains receiver circuitry configured to decode NFC signals from the external NFC device.
