Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of power electronics, and particularly relates to a novel completely symmetrical vertical structure point-of-load module. BACKGROUND

[0002] Advanced processors have driven the rapid development of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and the digital economy. At present, these processors CPU adopts 7 nanometer, 5 nanometer silicon process, and rapidly advances to 3 nanometer. The rated core working voltage of these advanced process CPUs is generally 0.75V-0.85V, and in order to achieve the required performance workload, the rated current also needs to be greatly increased. It can be seen that the reduction of voltage and the increase of current bring challenges to POL (Point-Of-Load), and the future high-performance processor needs a high-efficiency and high-power-density POL converter to support hundreds of amperes of current under extremely low voltage (i.e. <1V). In addition, the increase of current will also exacerbate the loss of the mainboard PCB copper path, and bring a large amount of additional heat to the processor thermal management system; at the same time, the voltage drop on the PCB copper path is proportional to the increase of current, and the sharp increase of current will lead to the drop of the core voltage obtained by the CPU, and this voltage drop effect will have a great impact on the performance of the processor.

[0035] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0036] Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a completely symmetrical new vertical structure load point module provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a magnetic core provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figures 3-4 the present application provides a completely symmetrical new vertical structure load point module, which comprises a gallium nitride power module 1, a magnetic core 2, a winding 3, a plurality of printed circuit boards 4 and an output capacitor (not shown in the figure), the magnetic core 2 comprises an upper end plate 201, a lower end plate 202 and a plurality of legs 5 located between the upper end plate 201 and the lower end plate 202, the plurality of printed circuit boards 4 comprises a first printed circuit board 401, a second printed circuit board 402 and a third printed circuit board 403; wherein,

[0037] The first printed circuit board 401 is located on the side of the upper end plate 201 away from the lower end plate 202 and is integrated with the gallium nitride power module 1. The second printed circuit board 402 includes multiple openings corresponding to the legs 5 and is embedded between the upper end plate 201 and the lower end plate 202 through the openings. The winding 3 is mounted on at least part of the legs 5 and connected to the second printed circuit board 402. The third printed circuit board 403 is located on the side of the lower end plate 202 away from the upper end plate 201 and is integrated with the output capacitor.

[0038] The vertical structure point-of-load module provided in this embodiment includes an active integrated portion and a passive integrated portion, wherein the active integrated portion includes a gallium nitride power module 1. It should be understood that parasitic inductance will reduce the reliability of gallium nitride devices, and parasitic capacitance will slow down the switching speed of gallium nitride devices, causing gallium nitride devices to lose their switching speed advantage. Therefore, this embodiment integrates four half-bridge circuits, a driver, and decoupling capacitors into the gallium nitride power module 1 through active integration to minimize key parasitic parameters. Optionally, the gallium nitride device is an EPC2023. The parasitic parameters within the EPC2023 are very small. It uses an LGA or BGA package, but compared with silicon-based packages, it is essentially a bare chip.

[0039] Furthermore, the passive integrated part is Figure 4 The magnetic core 2 shown in FIG. 2 includes, in particular, an upper end plate 201, a plurality of legs 5 and a lower end plate 202. Figure 3 From the perspective shown, the first printed circuit board 401 integrated with the gallium nitride power module 1 is located on the top of the magnetic core 2, the third printed circuit board 403 integrated with the output capacitor is located at the bottom of the magnetic core 2, and the second printed circuit board 402 includes openings corresponding to the multiple legs 5, so that it can be embedded between the upper end plate 201 and the lower end plate 202 for connection to the winding 3 sleeved on at least some of the legs 5.

[0040] Exemplarily, the gallium nitride power module 1 includes an actively integrated four-phase GaN device half-bridge circuit, a driver, and a decoupling capacitor.

[0041] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a four-phase GaN device half-bridge circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 , the four-phase GaN device half-bridge circuit includes capacitor C o , resistor R L , transistors: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8; among them,

[0042] The drain of S1, S3, S5 and S7 is connected to the input voltage V in The positive terminal of S1, S3, S5 and S7 are connected to the drain of S2, S4, S6 and S8 respectively, and the source of S2, S4, S6 and S8 is connected to the input voltage VThe negative end of the input voltage V in , the source of S1, S3, S5 and S7 is connected with the drain of S2, S4, S6 and S8 respectively, and the node N1, N2, N3 and N4 are included between them, one end of the four-phase winding 3 is connected with the node N1, N2, N3 and N4 respectively, and the other end is connected with the capacitor C o connected to the negative end of the input voltage V in , the resistance R L is connected in parallel with the capacitor C o .

[0043] Specifically, the voltage equation of the four-phase inductor is expressed as:

[0044]

[0045] In the formula, v1, v2, v3 and v4 represent the voltage across the four-phase inductor, i1, i2, i3 and i4 represent the current through the four-phase inductor, L1, L2, L3, L4 are the self-inductance of the four-phase inductor, M ij (i = 1, 2, 3, j = 2, 3, 4) is the mutual inductance between the four-phase inductors, M ij <0.

[0046] The above-mentioned transistors are all gallium nitride transistors, and the gallium nitride device has higher switching frequency and higher power density.

[0047] Optionally, in combination with Figures 3-4 , the orthogonal projection of the upper end plate 201 and the lower end plate 202 in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the upper end plate 201 is located is a square, and the orthogonal projection of the plurality of legs 5 is arranged along the circumference of the square.

[0048] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the upper end plate 201 and the lower end plate 202 in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the upper end plate 201 is located is a square and coincides with the center point of the square, and when the four-phase GaN device half-bridge circuit is integrated on the first printed circuit board 401, it is centered symmetrically about the center point of the square. The embodiment can effectively reduce the imbalance between the four-phase currents by completely symmetrically arranging the four-phase GaN device half-bridge circuit.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , in the above-mentioned completely symmetrical new vertical structure load point module, the plurality of legs 5 of the magnetic core 2 include four first legs 501 and four second legs 502, wherein the orthogonal projection of the four first legs 501 is respectively located at the vertex of the square, and the second leg 502 is arranged between the adjacent two first legs 501.

[0050] In addition, the completely symmetrical new vertical structure load point module includes a four-phase winding 3, and the four-phase winding 3 is sleeved on the four second legs 502 respectively.

[0051] In this embodiment, eight legs 5 are provided between the upper end plate 201 and the lower end plate 202. The eight legs 5 are arranged along the circumference of the square, four of which are first legs 501 and the other four are second legs 502. As shown in the figure, the positive projections of the four first legs 501 are respectively located at the vertices of the square, and a second leg 502 is provided between two adjacent first legs 501. This structure including eight legs 5 can achieve complete symmetry, and the four-phase windings 3 are respectively sleeved on the four second legs 502.

[0052] It should be understood that in this embodiment, if the first legs 501 are not provided at the four vertices of the square, then for any second leg 502 connected with the winding 3, the magnetic flux generated will flow toward the other second legs 502, thereby forming full coupling. Therefore, in this embodiment, the coupling coefficient can be adjusted by introducing four first legs 501 so that the coupling coefficient is not equal to 1, that is, full coupling is avoided, thereby achieving the same inductance parameters.

[0053] In addition, in the above-mentioned completely symmetrical new vertical structure load point module, the material used to make the magnetic core 2 includes an alloy powder core. In the related art, the magnetic core 2 is mostly made of ferrite material, but the saturation magnetic flux density of ferrite material is low, and generally an additional air gap is required to prevent saturation, which in turn leads to increased magnetic field leakage and serious edge loss, resulting in low overload efficiency. In order to avoid the above problems, the present invention uses an alloy powder core to make the magnetic core 2. On the one hand, the alloy powder core can reduce interference with active devices. On the other hand, the alloy powder core is a soft magnetic material with a distributed air gap and a high magnetic saturation density. Therefore, there is no need to open an additional air gap, which can avoid problems such as increased magnetic field leakage and edge loss. Therefore, in theory, the vertical structure load point module provided by the present invention has a higher overload efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first printed circuit board 401, the second printed circuit board 402, and the third printed circuit board 403 are electrically connected via copper pillars 6. The copper pillars 6 also assist in dissipating heat from the magnetic core 2 while shielding against magnetic flux leakage interference. As can be seen, the magnetic core 2 of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to produce, and is commercially viable.

[0055] Next, the completely symmetrical novel vertical structure load point module provided by the present invention will be further described through simulation experiments.

[0056] GaN devices inherently switch extremely quickly and are very sensitive to parasitic parameters such as parasitic inductance. Even small parasitic inductance can cause large voltage spikes and resonances in the circuit. Traditional ferrite cores have high permeability, which significantly increases parasitic inductance in active circuits, affecting power and drive loops. Compared to traditional ferrite materials, the new cores have lower permeability and a uniformly distributed air gap, which suppresses the radiation of the magnetic field into the surrounding environment and reduces electromagnetic interference with active circuits.

[0057] Figure 6a is a voltage oscillation waveform diagram of a traditional ferrite core, Figure 6b is a voltage oscillation waveform diagram of a magnetic core provided by an embodiment of the present application. Obviously, as Figures 6a-6b indicated, the voltage oscillation amplitude of the alloy powder core magnetic core prototype is obviously smaller than that of the traditional ferrite magnetic core prototype. Figure 7 is the parasitic inductance of a circuit in which different magnetic cores are located. It can be seen that, compared with the traditional ferrite core, the parasitic inductance generated by using the alloy powder core is reduced by about 0.01 nH per phase. Experiments prove that the alloy powder core is helpful for reducing the parasitic inductance caused by electromagnetic interference.

[0058] It should be understood that, since the thermal conductivity coefficient of the ferrite material is low (1-5 W / mK), and the temperature rises due to the core loss, the traditional 3D integrated load point module also has the problem of poor heat dissipation performance. In the present application, the alloy powder core has higher thermal conductivity (>5 W / mK) and lower core loss than the ferrite. In addition, the proposed magnetic core is also beneficial to the heat dissipation of the GaN device and module. The eight legs thereof can be regarded as "heat sink fins", which increase the heat dissipation area of air and reduce the thermal resistance.

[0059] Based on the magnetic core structure provided by the present application, ferrite and alloy materials are simulated by using ANSYS Icepak software. Figure 8a is a thermal performance simulation result diagram of a ferrite magnetic plate provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 8b is a thermal performance simulation result diagram of an alloy material magnetic plate provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 8a-8b indicated, the overall temperature of the GaN device with the magnetic plate made of the alloy material is 1℃ lower than that of the GaN device with the ferrite magnetic plate, which improves the thermal performance to a certain extent.

[0060] Figure 8c is a thermal performance simulation result diagram of a ferrite magnetic plate with legs provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 8d is a thermal performance simulation result diagram of an alloy magnetic plate with legs provided by an embodiment of the present application. Compared with Figure 8a , 8b , Figure 8c , 8d the overall temperature is significantly reduced by 23℃, which indicates that the legs proposed in the present application not only can be used as winding inductors, but also can greatly improve the heat dissipation performance.

[0061] It should be noted that, Figure 8a , 8b8c and 8d are thermal simulation results in an ideal case, i.e., without considering the magnetic core loss, the magnetic core loss of the alloy material and the ferrite material can be extracted by experiment under no-load conditions, and are 0.8495 W and 1.32 W, respectively.

[0062] Figure 8e is a thermal performance simulation result diagram of a ferrite magnetic core provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 8f is a thermal performance simulation result diagram of an alloy magnetic core provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figures 8e-8f As shown in the figure, the temperature of the GaN device is increased by 13-15 DEG C compared with Figure 8c , 8d However, since the alloy magnetic core has higher thermal conductivity and lower magnetic core loss, the alloy magnetic core is still about 5 DEG C lower than the ferrite magnetic core. Compared with other three-dimensional integrated modules, the magnetic structure based on the alloy powder core can significantly improve the thermal performance of the three-dimensional vertical load point module.

[0063] From the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
