Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hybrid circuit assembly includes an integrated metal substrate (IMS) having high-voltage, high-power components mounted thereon. The IMS includes a metal base plate an insulating adhesive on the metal base plate, and one or more wiring layers on the insulating adhesive. The hybrid circuit assembly includes a multi-layer printed wiring board (PWB) having low-voltage, low-power components mounted thereon. The multi-layer PWB is connected to the IMS and has an upper surface that is co-planar with an upper surface of the IMS. The PWB is mounted on the metal base plate via the insulating adhesive.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hybrid circuit assembly, comprising: an integrated metal substrate (IMS) having high-voltage, high-power components mounted thereon, the IMS including a metal base plate, an insulating adhesive on the metal base plate, and one or more wiring layers on the insulating adhesive, the metal base plate including a recess formed in an upper surface thereof; and a multi-layer printed wiring board (PWB) having low-voltage, low-power components mounted thereon, the multi-layer PWB connected to the IMS and having an upper surface that is co-planar with an upper surface of the IMS, the PWB mounted on the metal base plate and within the recess via the insulating adhesive. 2. The hybrid circuit assembly of claim 1 , wherein the low voltage, low-power components of the PWB are electrically connected to the high voltage, high-power components of the IMS. 3. The hybrid circuit assembly of claim 1 , wherein the IMS adjoins the multi-layer PWB on at least two sides. 4. The hybrid circuit assembly of claim 1 , wherein the multi-layer PWB is connected to the IMS with at least one of an adhesive and a fixing structure. 5. The hybrid circuit assembly of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of conductive traces on the IMS is greater than a thickness of traces on the PWB.
