Electrical-converter system with asymmetric conduction path lengths
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11973414B2) discloses an electrical-converter system comprising a printed circuit board with multiple layers and transistors arranged in a specific configuration. The system includes conduction paths of varying lengths to optimize performance. The transistors, positioned symmetrically on the board, are GaN power transistors provided in through-hole or surface mount device packages. Additionally, the system features gate drive outputs and conduction paths of equal length for efficient operation.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for manufacturing the electrical-converter system, emphasizing the arrangement of transistors and decoupling capacitors on the board. The method involves coupling the transistors to the switching node in a specific layout to achieve optimal conduction path lengths. By positioning the transistors symmetrically and ensuring equal distances between them, the system aims to enhance overall performance. The method also includes connecting the transistor gates to gate driver outputs with conduction paths of uniform length, contributing to the system's efficiency and functionality.
