    摘要: A power switching device is provided with an integrated current sensor. The device includes component housing and multiple terminal legs extending therefrom. A current sensor assembly includes an interior cavity having a galvanically insulating tubular sleeve extending therethrough. A toroidal inductive winding resides within the first cavity and is circumferentially disposed about the sleeve, with one leg of the device defining a (single-turn) primary winding and the winding defining a secondary winding magnetically coupled to the device leg. Current sensing terminals are associated with respective locations along the inductive winding, wherein a current through the encapsulated terminal leg is detectable via respective current sensing leads extending from the assembly housing. A damping inductive element such as a ferrite bead may be provided within a second interior cavity defined by the assembly housing to suppress high frequency oscillations associated with a second (e.g., gate) terminal leg of the switching device.

    摘要: A magnetic device assembly is provided for maximizing the size of the magnetic components for a predetermined power converter module by co-locating and sharing input, output, and auxiliary terminals between the substrates for the power converter and the magnetic components. Wherein complete power module is the result of constructing the separate constituent parts which include an integrated magnetic substrate, magnetic elements mounted therein, a power converter substrate, associated incorporated components located top and bottom on the power converter substrate, a composite mechanical footprint as defined by the mechanical extents of the integrated magnetic substrate and power converter substrate, and a composite electrical pinout as defined by the input-output pins which are coincident to and co-located as those of the integrated magnetic and power converter substrates.
