Claim 5:
6. The driver board assembly of claim 1, wherein:
the one or more power devices comprises a plurality of power devices embedded within the PCB substrate in pairs of two comprising a first power device and a second power device; and
the plurality of conductive layers are arranged within one of an inverter topology and a converter topology, the plurality of conductive layers comprising:
an N-conductive layer architecture coupled to the first power device through a first plurality of conductive vias, the N-conductive layer architecture defining an N-terminal configured to be connected to the current source capable of outputting one of a direct current or an alternating current;
an O-conductive layer architecture coupled to the first power device through a second plurality of conductive vias and the second power device through a third plurality of conductive vias thereby providing electrical communication between the first power device and the second power device, the O-conductive layer architecture defining one or more O-terminals configured to output one of a direct current and an alternating current opposite the current source; and
a P-conductive layer architecture coupled to the second power device through a fourth plurality of conductive vias, the P-conductive layer architecture defining a P-terminal operable to be connected to the current source, such that electrical current flows to the current source,
wherein each of the N-conductive layer architecture, the O-conductive layer architecture, and the P-conductive layer architecture thermally couple the first power device and the second power device to the one or more cooling assemblies mounted to at least one of the first surface of the PCB substrate and the second surface of the PCB substrate opposite the first surface of the PCB substrate.
