ABSTRACT:
A boost converter module, a method of manufacturing the module and a power converter employing one or more of the same. In one embodiment, the boost converter module includes: (1) a power switch, (2) first and second snubber diodes series-coupled between the power switch and a converter output, (3) a snubber capacitor and a boost diode series-coupled across the second snubber diode and (4) an encapsulant substantially surrounding the power switch, the first and second snubber diodes, the snubber capacitor and the boost diode to join the power switch, the first and second snubber diodes, the snubber capacitor and the boost diode into an integrated package, the integrated package having: (4a) a control input coupled to the power switch, (4b) a power input coupled to the power switch, (4c) a snubber inductor input, coupled to a node between the snubber capacitor and the boost diode and (4d) a power output coupled to the converter output.
