Abstract :
This paper presents a symmetric planar structure with vertical surface interconnection to construct an integrated electromagnetic power passive module (IEPP), incorporating distributed inductance, capacitance and transformer action. A design procedure is proposed with specific attentions to constructional aspects, electromagnetic constraints and thermo-mechanical characteristics. Loss calculation and one-dimensional thermal modeling are studied and applied in the design. A prototype is built and tested, showing good electromagnetic performance.
