Abstract :
Power electronic assemblies often come with inherent problems that appear only under certain fault conditions after production begins. Nine examples of various products and their problems and solutions are discussed. Some seem apparent, some are subtle; all are presented to help circuit designers and packagers avoid and solve similar problems. All of the problems discussed occurred during test programs
