This invention discloses a single-tube power
chip with self-protection function and its connection structure, belonging to the field of
power electronics technology. Addressing the
failure risk of power modules exploding or catching fire under short-circuit conditions, the
chip includes a
chip body, electrodes, and a
copper strip. The electrodes are positioned above the chip body, and the
copper strip has a fusible aperture for melting and
cutting off the circuit when overheated by short-circuit current. The
copper strip and the electrodes are fixed together by a conductive connection layer. This invention employs a dual
protection mechanism of
software and hardware protection. The
software protection responds rapidly within 0.1ms at the initial stage of a
short circuit, while the hardware protection forcibly disconnects the circuit within 10ms via the copper strip's fusible aperture. Even if the
software protection fails, the hardware protection still ensures
system safety, achieving absolute safety protection against short-circuit interruption under 1000V
high voltage. This completely avoids failures such as continuous arcing, explosion, and fire. The use of copper strip instead of traditional binding wire, combined with nano-silver
sintering technology, significantly reduces the
thermal resistance of the connection structure.
