PACKAGE FOR SYSTEM LEVEL ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS

摘要

Methods and arrangements for packaging system level electronics are described. In one aspect, an external skin of the package is formed from isolation paper. In some embodiments, the isolation paper is formed into a box. A printed circuit board is placed within the isolation paper skin and is substantially completely surrounded by a potting material that substantially completely fills the skin. The potting material is cured to solidify the potting material within the isolation paper box and to adhere the potting material to the isolation paper such that the isolation paper forms a skin for a brick of potting material that encapsulates the printed circuit board. The isolation paper skin includes at least one opening that permits an interconnect to be exposed through the skin. With this arrangement, a packaged electronics device is provided and the isolation paper forms the exposed outer surface of the packaged electronics device. The described package is particularly well suited for use in packaging system level power electronics such as power supplies.
