Abstract :
The layout of power modules is one of the key points in power module design, especially for high power densities, where couplings are increased. In this paper, along with the design example, an automatic design processes by using genetic algorithm are presented. Some practical considerations and implementations are introduced in the optimization of the layout design of the module.
