Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radio frequency technology, and specifically relates to an M-type magnetic coupling structure on an integrated circuit package lead frame. Background Technology

[0002] Many electronic products require electrical isolation, which is mainly achieved through optocoupler isolation, capacitive isolation, and magnetic isolation. Traditional optocoupler isolation technology, due to its drawbacks such as rapid aging, high power consumption, slow speed, and difficulty in integration, is gradually failing to meet the requirements of modern industrial equipment. Meanwhile, capacitive and magnetic isolation technologies, with their advantages of low power consumption, high speed, and ease of integration, are gradually replacing optocouplers as the mainstream isolation solutions. Capacitive isolation technology typically involves fabricating on-chip isolation capacitors on the silicon substrate of a semiconductor chip, using a metal layer on the silicon substrate as the capacitor's plates, with the plates separated by a SiO2 dielectric. Capacitive isolation technology introduces extremely high semiconductor process complexity, and achieving higher voltage withstand capabilities further increases the complexity of the on-chip isolation capacitor fabrication process. Magnetic isolation technology mainly includes two schemes: on-chip transformer magnetic coupling and packaged leadframe magnetic coupling. On-chip transformers suffer from the same process complexity issues as on-chip capacitors. Therefore, magnetic isolation structures based on packaged leadframes are a lower-cost and simpler solution.

[0003] However, the poor resistance to magnetic interference hinders the further promotion and application of leadframe magnetic coupling isolation solutions. Since magnetic coupling isolation technology achieves isolated communication through magnetic field coupling, traditional leadframe magnetic coupling isolation solutions, which use two arc-shaped conductive rings on the leadframe for coupling, are easily affected by external magnetic fields and also exhibit significant external radiation. Some improved solutions can only achieve single-sided interference resistance for either transmission or reception, and greatly increase the complexity of the manufacturing process, without improving external radiation. Poor resistance to magnetic interference, strong external radiation, and high process complexity have become key issues restricting the development and application of leadframe magnetic coupling isolation technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes an M-type magnetic coupling structure on the lead frame of an integrated circuit package to achieve magnetic coupling with high anti-magnetic interference capability, low external radiation, and low process complexity.

The other ends of the fourth and fifth conductors are simultaneously connected to one end of the sixth conductor to form a first coupling conductor. The first metal bonding wire connects the other end of the sixth conductor to the first die, and the second metal bonding wire connects the first conductor to the first die.
