[0052] A plurality of driving chips 4 are respectively connected to corresponding independent pins among the plurality of independent pins;

[0053] The power factor correction power integrated circuit 3 is connected to corresponding independent pins among the plurality of independent pins respectively.

[0054] In the present invention, it can basically include a copper-clad ceramic substrate 1 (DBC, Direct Bonded Copper on Ceramic Substrate), which is also a directly bonded copper-ceramic substrate 1. The directly bonded copper-ceramic substrate 1 is mainly composed of a ceramic insulating layer and a metal copper layer bonded to its upper and lower surfaces (or one side). Ceramic materials are usually selected such as aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), aluminum nitride (AlN) and other materials with high insulation, high thermal conductivity and good chemical stability; the metal copper layer provides excellent conductivity and processability, which is convenient for the subsequent circuit production and connection with other electronic components. In the present invention, the inverter power chip 2 and the power factor correction power integrated circuit 3 can be integrated on the direct bonded copper-ceramic substrate 1.

[0055] The intelligent power module 10 can be applied to various medium and low power motor drive, power conversion, inverter and other applications, such as household appliances, industrial control, electric vehicle chargers, solar inverters and other scenarios.

[0056] In one embodiment, the inverter power chip 2 may include: multiple first insulated gate bipolar transistors 31121, multiple first insulated gate bipolar transistors 31121, respectively connected to multiple driving chips 4; multiple first fast recovery diodes 32122, multiple first fast recovery diodes 32122, respectively connected to corresponding first insulated gate bipolar transistors 311 in the multiple first insulated gate bipolar transistors 31121, and corresponding independent pins in multiple independent pins.

[0057] Specifically, the inverter power chip 2 may include a plurality of first insulated gate bipolar transistors 31121 (IGBT, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), and a plurality of first fast recovery diodes 32122 (FRD, Fast Recovery Diode). In the present invention, the first insulated gate bipolar transistors 311 may be 6, and the number of the first fast recovery diodes 321 corresponds to the data of the first insulated gate bipolar transistors 311, which is also 6. The 6 first insulated gate bipolar transistors 311 are respectively connected to the corresponding first fast recovery diodes 321, for example: the first first insulated gate bipolar transistor 311 is connected to the first first fast recovery diode 321, the second first insulated gate bipolar transistor 311 is connected to the second first fast recovery diode 321, the third first insulated gate bipolar transistor 311 is connected to the third first fast recovery diode 321, etc. Among them, the plurality of first insulated gate bipolar transistors 31121 can be connected to the corresponding first fast recovery diodes 321 through aluminum wires. The six first insulated gate bipolar transistors 311 are respectively connected to the multiple driving chips 4, and the six first fast recovery diodes 321 are respectively connected to corresponding independent pins among the multiple independent pins.

[0058] In the present invention, IGBT is a power semiconductor device that combines the advantages of MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) and BJT (bipolar transistor), and is widely used in high voltage and high current power electronic systems. IGBT is a three-terminal device, including: Gate: used to control the switch of the device. Collector: connected to the high voltage end. Emitter: connected to the low voltage end. The working principle of IGBT is based on the control of gate voltage, and the flow of current is controlled by adjusting the gate voltage. The working principle of IGBT can be divided into two stages: On state: When a positive voltage is applied to the gate, the MOSFET part is turned on to form a low impedance channel. The low impedance channel makes the BJT part turn on, and the current flows from the collector to the emitter. Off state: When the gate voltage decreases or becomes negative, the MOSFET part is turned off, and the BJT part is also turned off, and the current stops flowing. The characteristics of IGBT are: High voltage and high current capability: IGBT can withstand high voltage (hundreds of volts to thousands of volts) and high current (tens of amperes to thousands of amperes). Low conduction loss: Compared with BJT, IGBT has lower on-resistance, so conduction loss is less. Fast switching speed: Compared with BJT, IGBT has faster switching speed and is suitable for high-frequency applications. Simple drive: Similar to MOSFET, the gate drive circuit of IGBT is relatively simple.

[0059] FRD is a semiconductor device specially designed for high-frequency switching circuits. Compared with ordinary diodes, FRD has a faster reverse recovery time, can effectively reduce switching losses, improve circuit efficiency, and is widely used in high-frequency power electronic systems such as switching power supplies, inverters, frequency converters, motor drives, etc. The working principle of FRD is similar to that of ordinary diodes, but there are significant improvements in reverse recovery characteristics: Forward conduction: When the diode is forward biased, the current flows from the anode to the cathode, and the diode is turned on. Reverse cutoff: When the diode is reverse biased, ordinary diodes take a long time to recover to the cutoff state, while FRD can complete reverse recovery in a very short time. The characteristics of FRD are: Fast reverse recovery time: The reverse recovery time is usually between a few nanoseconds and tens of nanoseconds, which is much smaller than that of ordinary diodes. Low reverse recovery current: During the reverse recovery process, the reverse recovery current of FRD is small, reducing switching losses. High frequency characteristics: Suitable for high-frequency switching circuits, such as switching power supplies, inverters, etc. High efficiency: Reduce switching losses and improve circuit efficiency. The advantages of FRD are: Improved efficiency: Reduce switching losses and improve circuit efficiency. High frequency adaptability: Suitable for high frequency switching circuits, reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Reliability: In high frequency applications, FRD has higher reliability and longer life.

Multiple second insulated gate bipolar transistors 31231 can be connected to independent pins through gold wires.

[0064] PFC is used to improve the power factor (PF) of the power supply system, reduce reactive power, thereby improving the efficiency of power utilization and reducing harmonic pollution in the power grid. PFC circuits are widely used in switching power supplies, inverters, LED drivers, UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and other equipment.
