Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a driving device; in particular, it relates to a driving device with an inner package body. Background Art

[0002] In a known driving device, power modules are connected to a three-phase motor to drive the three-phase motor. For example, in U.S. Patent Publication No. US11476183B2 "Semiconductor package", the power module is composed of a plurality of driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b, 4c and a plurality of switching elements 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f. Among them, the plurality of driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b, 4c include three high-side driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c and three low-side driving circuits 4a, 4b, 4c, and the plurality of switching elements 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f include three high-side switching elements 1a, 1b, 1c and three low-side switching elements 1d, 1e, 1f. Through the packaging technology of Package in Package (PiP), the three high-side driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c are encapsulated in an inner package body 5 to form a single high-side driving element, and the high-side driving element is connected to the three high-side switching elements 1a, 1b, 1c in a bonding manner through a plurality of wires 7a, 7b, 7c, and then the power module is encapsulated with an outer package body 8.

[0003] Since the inner package body 5 encapsulates the three high-side driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c at the same time, although the high-side driving element encapsulated by the inner package body 5 can be detected first, however, once it is detected that any one of the high-side driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c in the high-side driving element fails, even if the other two high-side driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c are normal, the entire high-side driving element encapsulated by the inner package body 5 still needs to be discarded and replaced, which will increase the overall cost. In addition, when integrating and encapsulating three high-side driving circuits 3a, 3b, 3c in the high-side driving element, the encapsulation yield will also decrease, and the encapsulation time will also increase.

[0004] Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the existing driving device. How to reduce the cost of failures and increase the yield is actually a technical topic that the relevant industry is currently focusing on. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a driving device that can reduce the cost of failures and increase the yield.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a driving device including a lead frame, a plurality of high-side driving modules, at least one low-side driving module, a plurality of high-side switching modules, a plurality of low-side switching modules, and an outer package. Among them, the lead frame has a plurality of high-side driving regions, at least one low-side driving region, a plurality of high-side switching regions, and a plurality of low-side switching regions; the plurality of high-side driving modules are respectively disposed in the plurality of high-side driving regions of the lead frame, wherein each of the high-side driving modules includes an inner package, a primary-side circuit, a driving-side circuit, and a bootstrap diode, and the inner package encapsulates the primary-side circuit, the driving-side circuit, and the bootstrap diode; the inner package has an upper surface and a lower surface, and a plurality of leads are disposed on the lower surface, and the plurality of leads are electrically connected to the primary-side circuit, the driving-side circuit, and the bootstrap diode; wherein, the lower surface of each of the high-side driving modules faces each of the high-side driving regions of the lead frame, and the plurality of leads of each of the high-side driving modules are welded to each of the high-side driving regions of the lead frame; the at least one low-side driving module is disposed in the at least one low-side driving region of the lead frame; the plurality of high-side switching modules are respectively disposed in the plurality of high-side switching regions of the lead frame, and each of the high-side switching modules is electrically connected to each of the high-side driving modules via the lead frame; the plurality of low-side switching modules are respectively disposed in the plurality of low-side switching regions of the lead frame, and the plurality of low-side switching modules are electrically connected to the at least one low-side driving module via the lead frame; the outer package encapsulates the plurality of high-side driving modules, the at least one low-side driving module, the plurality of high-side switching modules, the plurality of low-side switching modules, and the lead frame.

[0007] The effect of the present invention is that by the way that each of the high-side driving modules includes the inner package to encapsulate the primary-side circuit, the driving-side circuit, and the bootstrap diode, each high-side driving module forms a single component, and further, before the outer package is encapsulated, each of the high-side driving modules can be detected to exclude faults. Once a fault is detected in any one of the high-side driving modules, only one encapsulated high-side driving module needs to be replaced to reduce the cost of faults. In addition, since each of the high-side driving modules forms a single component, therefore, the problems of reduced packaging yield and increased packaging time caused by integrating and packaging three high-side driving circuits in the existing power module can be improved.
