Claim 15:
16. A method of operating a DC-DC converter, the method comprising:
providing a DC-DC converter comprising a converter unit, an additional converter unit, and an electronic module cooling unit, wherein:
the converter unit comprises a power electronic module and an inductor,
the power electronic module comprises a switching sub-module and a diode sub-module,
the inductor comprises a metal sheet and an insulator sheet stacked and wound into an inductor coil assembly, comprising a coil axis,
the additional converter unit comprises an additional power electronic module and an additional inductor,
the electronic module cooling unit comprises a heat exchanger, a fan, a manifold, and a cooling plate thermally coupled to the heat exchanger and to at least a portion of the power electronic module,
the manifold encloses the heat exchanger and is configured to direct air from the fan to the power electronic module, and
the cooling plate extends between and is thermally coupled to each of the power electronic module and the additional power electronic module; and

flowing air into and through the manifold using the fan, wherein:
the air releases heat to the heat exchanger while passing through the heat exchanger, and
after passing through the heat exchanger, the air is uniformly released to the power electronic module.
