Controller cooling arrangement

1. A controller, comprising:

a cold plate;

at least one electronic component mounted to the cold plate by a thermoelectric cooler; and

at least one electronic component directly mounted to the cold plate without a thermoelectric cooler;

wherein the cold plate includes a cutout extending through an entirety of a thickness of the cold plate and extending along substantially an entirety of a width of the cold plate, wherein the at least one electronic component mounted to the cold plate by the thermoelectric cooler is mounted on a first side of the cutout and the at least one electronic component directly mounted to the cold plate is mounted on a second side of the cutout.

2. The controller as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one electronic component mounted to the cold plate by the thermoelectric cooler has a lower maximum operating temperature rating than the at least one electronic component directly mounted to the cold plate.

3. The controller as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one electronic component directly mounted to the cold plate includes one of power modules and magnetic components.

4. The controller as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one component mounted to the cold plate by the thermoelectric cooler includes one of capacitors and printed wire boards (PWBs).

5. The controller as recited in claim 4 , wherein the thermoelectric cooler is a first thermoelectric cooler, and further comprising a second thermoelectric cooler, the first and second thermoelectric coolers directly mounted to the cold plate, wherein capacitors are mounted to the first thermoelectric cooler, and PWBs are mounted to the second thermoelectric cooler.

6. The controller as recited in claim 5 , wherein the first and second thermoelectric coolers are mounted to opposite sides of the cold plate.

7. The controller as recited in claim 5 , wherein a base plate is mounted directly to the first thermoelectric cooler, and wherein a capacitor support plate is spaced-apart from the base plate by a plurality of bus bars, the capacitors mounted to the capacitor support plate.

8. The controller as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cold plate includes at least one fluid passageway, the at least one fluid passageway having an inlet in communication with a source of cooling fluid, wherein the at least one fluid passageway is arranged such that fluid flowing through the cold plate between the first and second sides flows around the cutout and passes through at least one narrow portion between an end of the cutout and an end of the cold plate.

9. The controller as recited in claim 8 , wherein the at least one narrow portion includes a first narrow portion between a first end of the cutout and a first end of the cold plate, and a second narrow portion between a second end of the cutout and a second end of the cold plate.

10. The controller as recited in claim 8 , wherein the cooling fluid is fuel for a gas turbine engine.

11. A controller, comprising:

a cold plate;

at least one electronic component mounted to the cold plate by a thermoelectric cooler; and at least one electronic component directly mounted to the cold plate without a thermoelectric cooler;

wherein the cold plate includes a cutout extending through an entirety of a thickness of the cold plate, wherein the at least one electronic component mounted to the cold plate by the thermoelectric cooler is mounted on a first side of the cutout and the at least one electronic component directly mounted to the cold plate is mounted on a second side of the cutout; and

wherein the cold plate includes at least one fluid passageway arranged such that fluid flowing through the cold plate between the first and second sides flows around the cutout.
