    摘要: A power-converter module has a switching Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with power transistors generating heat. Ground, an input power supply, and an output power supply to the power transistors connect through metal traces on the switching PCB directly to interposer heat sinks that are soldered to the switching PCB. Copper bars attached to the bottoms of interposer heat sinks fit in holes in a system PCB to make connections. The metal traces and interposer heat sinks carry supply or ground currents and heat away from the power transistors. These power and ground currents continue from the interposer heat sinks through the copper bars to the system PCB. An interposer PCB has soler pads and solder balls to carry control signals from the system PCB to the switching PCB, bypassing the interposer heat sinks. Copper bars can be sintered, soldered, or welded to or integral with the interposer heat sinks.

    摘要: A smart power hub has an AC port, a first DC port to a car battery, a second DC port to DC devices such as car instruments, and a third DC port to solar panels or another smart power hub. An AC bi-directional converter has six transistors in a B6 configuration to convert three-phase AC, acting as an interleaved totem-pole Power-Factor-Corrector for one-phase AC. A switch connects the DC bi-directional converter with either the AC bi-directional converter or the solar panels on the third DC port. A link capacitor has a DC link voltage that rises during battery charging. A DC bi-directional converter has a transformer, a primary bridge connected to the DC link voltage, and a secondary bridge of transistors connected to the first DC port. Auxiliary windings in the transformer drive a rectifier to the second DC port to power on-board DC devices. Solar DC charges the battery without AC conversion.
