    摘要: An electronic power conversion component includes an electrically conductive package base comprising a source terminal, a drain terminal, at least one I/O terminal and a die-attach pad wherein the source terminal is electrically isolated from the die-attach pad. A GaN-based semiconductor die is secured to the die attach pad and includes a power transistor having a source and a drain, wherein the source is electrically coupled to the source terminal and the drain is electrically coupled to the drain terminal. A plurality of wirebonds electrically couple the source to the source terminal and the drain to the drain terminal. An encapsulant is formed over the GaN-based semiconductor die, the plurality of wirebonds and at least a top surface of the package base.
