This trend has accelerated as power transistor manufacturers introduce higher current / lower voltage designs. Mature JEDEC package designs, originally intended decades ago for dc currents on the order of 10’s of Amperes are now emerging as capable of 100’s of Amps. Is this due to some significant improvement in package materials / design or is this all smoke and mirrors? The answer is a little of both. The current carrying capability of any package ultimately depends on three factors: temperature
