Assignee: FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A power electronic converter system, the system comprising:
a printed circuit board;
a circuit component attached to the printed circuit board; and
a heat sink capacitor, wherein the heat sink capacitor comprises:
a positive (P) bus plate, wherein the P bus plate is comprised of electrically conductive material;
a negative (N) bus plate, wherein the N bus is comprised of electrically conductive material;
a first dielectric material;
a second dielectric material; and
a heat sink comprising a first side and a second side, the first side of the heat sink attached to the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material, wherein the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material are separated by a portion of the heat sink, wherein the first dielectric material electrically insulates the P bus plate from the first side of the heat sink and the portion of the heat sink that separates the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material to form a first capacitor, and wherein the second dielectric material electrically insulates the N bus plate from the first side of the heat sink and the portion of the heat sink that separates the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material to form a second capacitor.
