Power stage device with support frame for a power stage module and an integrated inductor

摘要

A power device includes a frame that has an electrically insulating material, has an opening in the electrically insulating material, and has an electrical conductor extending through the electrically insulating material. A power stage module, which is fastened in the opening, has an output terminal on a first side of the power stage module, and a power terminal, a ground terminal and a plurality of input / output (I / O) terminals on a second side of the power stage module, which is the first side is opposite. A passive component has a first connection, which is connected to the output connection of the power stage module, and a second connection, which is connected to the electrical conductor of the frame. The passive component has a larger footprint than the power stage module. The frame increases the footprint of the power stage module to accommodate mounting the passive component to the power device. The frame has a lower connection density than the power stage module.
