Abstract:
In this paper a comparison between discrete and modular approaches is carried out. The evaluation is divided into four main steps: mechanical comparison, package parasitic extraction and switching performance evaluation, power losses evaluation inside a 22kW CLLC converter and, finishing with a thermal analysis, to figure out the max power dissipation to not exceed max allowable Tj for each packages.
