Abstract:
Systems and methods for protecting electrical components such as light emitting diodes are described. In some embodiments, electrical components are protected from high level electrostatic discharge (“ESD”) events by a circuit board that provides an intrinsic level of ESD protection. At the same time, such electrical components are protected against low level ESD events by one or more diodes that are electrically coupled thereto. The one or more diodes may be thin film diodes comprising at least one layer of p-type semiconductive material and at least one layer of n-type semiconductive material. Devices including ESD protection and methods for manufacturing such devices are also described.
Abstract:
A transformer has two magnetic cores, at least one primary winding unit mounted in the magnetic cores, at least one secondary winding unit mounted in the magnetic cores and two rectifying circuit boards externally mounted beside the magnetic cores. An AC voltage output from the secondary winding unit is transmitted to and rectified by the rectifying circuit board. Therefore, the size of the transformer is compact, and heat energy generated by electronic elements mounted on the rectifying circuit board is effectively dissipated to maintain normal operation of the transformer. Further, since the transmission path from the secondary winding unit to the rectifying circuit board is short, energy loss is reasonably reduced when the transformer is operated under a high frequency situation or a larger current mode.
Abstract:
An electric power source device has a transformer, a primary-side semiconductor module, a secondary-side semiconductor module, a secondary-side electrical component, a base plate and a circuit substrate on which substrate-side electrical components are mounted. The primary-side semiconductor module has a larger exterior size than the secondary-side electrical component. The primary-side semiconductor module and the secondary-side electrical component form a stacked section. In the stacked section, the secondary-side electrical component is stacked, in a vertical direction, i.e. a direction of a normal line of a mounting surface of the base plate, on the primary-side semiconductor module. The primary-side semiconductor module is directly mounted on the mounting surface. At least a part of the substrate-side electrical components is arranged inside of the primary-side semiconductor module in a horizontal direction, and inside of a second surface of the stacked section toward the mounting surface along the normal line.

An interconnect device is provided with a body through which a plurality of wells has been defined. At least one component having two terminals is provided in one or more of the wells. The component is sealed in its respective well such that the two terminals are accessible on opposite sides of the body. The body corresponds to a Ball Grid Array (BGA) device and is positioned between a BGA device and a printed circuit board (PCB). The component in the well is then inline with a solder ball on the BGA device and a corresponding pad on the PCB. Providing the component in the well frees up surface area on the PCB and also allows for positioning the component closer to a source of a signal. A component in the well is a discrete component having two terminals that may be solderable or made from a conductive pliable material. The terminals may be spring-mounted on the component.
