Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted chip optimization, and in particular to a low-cost thermal method for a vehicle-mounted host SOC chip. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of the functions and working frequency of the vehicle-mounted host, the thermal power consumption also increases. Therefore, many chips need to be designed with a heat dissipation structure to dissipate heat so that the junction temperature of the chip is lower than the allowed value (or a certain level below). The previous designs were basically for stability and size, which sought to reduce the working junction temperature of the chip to the greatest extent, use a larger heat sink, and a larger heat dissipation area. However, this led to an increase in the overall cost and weight of the product, resulting in a waste of resources and increased costs, and reduced competitiveness. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0004] To this end, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a low-cost thermal method for a vehicle-mounted host SOC chip, analyze and screen key factors through experimental design, conduct multiple groups of experiments on key factors, and make judgments through experimental data and generated charts to obtain the optimal solution that meets various radiator coefficients with the purpose of reducing costs.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a low-cost thermal method for a vehicle-mounted host SOC chip, and the low-cost thermal method comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1: SOC chip analysis: Analyze the SOC chip through the QFD analysis system, identify the key factors that affect the junction temperature of the SOC chip, score each factor in the form of quality house, and obtain the important proportion of each factor;

[0007] S2: Key factor screening: Based on the data reflected in the quality house, the top four factors with the highest importance ratio are selected as key factors, and the selected key factors are labeled respectively;

[0008] S3: Key factor model design: including DOE simulation model grouping design, removal of insignificant factors, response surface analysis and response optimization;

[0009] DOE simulation model group design: Use Minitab Statistical Software design system to create factor design: "two-level full factorial" + 1 center point for experimental design, and use CAE software for simulation to generate 9 combinations of key factors, thereby obtaining different experimental data;

[0010] The test items include: standard sequence (C1), operating sequence (C2), center point (C3), block group (C4), heat sink width (C5), heat sink thickness (C6), thermal conductivity of thermal conductive silicone (C7) and junction temperature (C8);

[0011] Remove insignificant factors: Generate a bar chart with the above test data, remove insignificant interaction factors one by one through the effect bar chart, analyze the obtained factors and generate a factor analysis chart;

[0012] Generate a bar chart for the test data and perform linear analysis and factor interaction analysis. The linear analysis and factor interaction analysis are analyzed from the aspects of degree of freedom, Adi ss, Adi ms, F value and P value respectively to obtain the regression analysis results of junction temperature (Y). According to the analysis results, it is judged whether it is necessary to add test points. If it is not necessary to add test points, the response surface analysis is directly performed according to the above analysis results. Otherwise, the test points are added to obtain new test data and perform response surface analysis.

[0013] Determine whether the marked line in the factor numerator diagram is bent. If the marked line is not bent, the test ends; if it is bent, the test continues;

[0014] Response surface analysis: Based on the above test, add test points to update the test plan and obtain new test plans and results, and compare the obtained results with the above test. Generate probability graphs and histograms for the test data and combine the main effect graphs and interactions to judge the analysis results of each key factor;

[0015] Modify the original design: add axis points, conduct experiments centered on the surface, generate new bar charts based on the test results, and obtain response surface analysis results by summarizing the model of coded coefficients, variance analysis, regression equations expressed in uncoded units, and fitting diagnostics of abnormal observations;

[0016] Response optimization: Make response optimization adjustments based on costs through the response optimizer.

[0017] The low-cost heat reduction method of the vehicle-mounted host SOC chip of the present invention analyzes and screens key factors through experimental design, conducts multiple groups of experiments on the key factors, and makes judgments through experimental data and generated charts to obtain the optimal solution that meets various coefficients of the radiator with the purpose of reducing costs.

[0018] In addition, the low-cost heating method of the vehicle host SOC chip proposed in the application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0019] Specifically, the four groups of key factors screened out are: heat sink width (X1), heat sink thickness (X2), thermal conductivity of thermal conductive silicone (X3) and thermal conductive silicone thickness (X4).

[0020] Specifically, the test codes for the radiator width (X1), radiator thickness (X2), thermal conductivity of thermal conductive silicone (X3) and thermal conductive silicone thickness (X4) are: A, B, C, D; and the test parameters are: A: 2 levels, B: 2 levels, C: 2 levels, D: 1 level.

[0022] Specifically, the confidence level of the test parameter is 0.05, and the P value of the factor is less than 0.05, which is a normal value.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention. On the contrary, embodiments of the present invention include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0038] The following describes a low-cost heat reduction method for a vehicle-mounted host SOC chip according to an embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1-12 As shown, the low-cost heating method of the vehicle host SOC chip of the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0040] S1: SOC chip analysis: Analyze the SOC chip through the QFD analysis system, identify the key factors that affect the junction temperature of the SOC chip, score each factor in the form of a quality house, and obtain the important proportion of each factor. The quality house is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0041] S2: Key factor screening: Based on the data reflected in the quality house, the top four factors with the highest importance ratio are selected as key factors, and the selected key factors are labeled respectively;

[0042]

[0043] S3: Key factor model design: including DOE simulation model grouping design, removal of insignificant factors, response surface analysis and response optimization;

[0044] DOE simulation model group design: Use Minitab Statistical Software design system to create factor design: "two-level full factorial" + 1 center point for experimental design, and use CAE software for simulation to generate 9 combinations of key factors, thereby obtaining different experimental data;

[0056] Furthermore, the project uses the basic structure of V-shaped aluminum plate radiator, the heat dissipation is characterized by area, and the material selection is mainly based on thickness.
