The major component of electro-motor drive is the power module producing a PWM signal to drive the motor from the battery DC source. The efficiency of the electric drive is the function of the high side and low side semiconductor switches, which perform the PWM current to the AC motor-coil. The design of such switch is therefore crucial for the drive performance.

The focus is on electrical and thermal properties of power modules optimization. The proposed power module design uses lower number of implemented semiconductor power devices, optimized parasitic influences and propose smaller power module dimensions. The paper also presents a survey of electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of different materials and components used in various other power modules realizations. The authors propose a use of a new materials, new concept of power module realization and higher price / performance ratio.
