[0002] A DC / DC converter (DC-DC converter) is an electronic power supply component used to convert a DC voltage into another DC voltage. In an electronic device, since different circuit modules may require different voltage levels to work, a DC / DC converter is required, so DC / DC converters are very common in electronic devices. DC / DC converters have broad market prospects and application space in high-reliability fields such as national defense and oil drilling.

[0003] The power module of the DC / DC converter usually has a large operating current and generates a lot of heat. If it cannot be transferred to the outside world in time, the internal temperature of the module will rise, and the internal chip will work in a high temperature environment for a long time.

[0004] The existing packaging structure of the DC / DC converter is to integrate the entire circuit of the DC / DC converter on a circuit board, and place the circuit board inside a metal shell, with the bottom surface of the circuit board close to the bottom surface of the metal shell. There are problems such as high assembly difficulty, low installation density of electronic components, difficulty in rework, debugging and disassembly, and low heat dissipation efficiency.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Power hybrid integrated DC / DC converter packaging structure embodiment:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the power hybrid integrated DC / DC converter packaging structure of the utility model comprises: a metal shell 1 with an opening on one side, which is used to accommodate a power board 3, a signal board 4 and a transformer board 10 of the DC / DC converter, and a through hole for connecting the power board and an external circuit is opened at the bottom of the metal shell; a cover plate 5, which covers the opening to seal the metal shell; a power board, which is placed in the shell and attached to the bottom of the shell, and a controlled end of a control switch on the power board is connected to a signal chip of the signal board through a first pin 25 to receive a control signal from the signal board, and a pad on the power board is connected to a pad of the transformer board through a second pin 26 to receive a voltage signal from the transformer; a transformer board, which is placed in the shell and located above the power board, and is used to convert the voltage; a signal board, which is placed in the shell and located above the transformer board, and is used to transmit the control signal, and the signal board is a double-sided wiring structure and electronic components are evenly distributed on both sides.

[0033] The power board, signal board and transformer board are conventional circuit modules of the DC / DC converter. The innovation of the present invention lies in the packaging structure rather than the specific circuit structure. Those skilled in the art should know that the electronic components installed on the power board include chip components 23, integrated circuit bare chips 11 and magnetic components. The chip components include resistors and capacitors. The integrated circuit bare chips include power devices and signal chips. The magnetic components include inductors, transformers, Hall sensors and other components.

[0034] The electronic components installed on the signal board include chip components (resistors, capacitors) and integrated circuit bare chips (mainly signal devices).

[0035] The power board is double-sided, with chip components, integrated circuit bare chips and magnetic components placed on the front, and the back is the welding surface with gold-plated metal pads.

[0036] Double-sided wiring is a printed circuit board design and manufacturing technology that allows the circuit paths to be distributed not only on one side of the circuit board, but also on the other side. This design allows for a more compact layout and higher circuit density, while also providing better thermal management and electromagnetic compatibility.

[0037] Chip components refer to electronic components manufactured in the form of chips. They are usually made of semiconductor materials, but can also be made of other materials such as ceramics or metals. Chip components have the characteristics of small size, light weight, easy installation and stable electrical performance, and are widely used in various electronic devices.

[0038] Integrated circuit bare chips, also known as wafers or semiconductor bare chips, are key products in the semiconductor manufacturing process. They are thin slices made of silicon or other semiconductor materials, containing hundreds of millions of tiny electronic components - transistors, which are integrated on the chip through complex processes such as lithography, etching and doping.

[0039] The substrates of the signal board and the power board are both made of ceramic material. The transformer board is made of PCB.

[0040] The pads in this embodiment are all metal pads, which are the parts where the electronic components are connected to the substrate of the circuit board. Through the welding process, the pins of the electronic components form an electrical connection with the metal coating on the pads to ensure the connectivity of the circuit.

[0041] The assembly sequence of the power hybrid integrated DC / DC converter packaging structure of the utility model is as follows:

[0042] S1. Clean the substrate of the signal board, the substrate of the signal board and the substrate of the transformer board respectively, protect the bonding area, and solder the components.

[0043] Bonding area refers to the area used to weld or bond metal or other conductive materials to the silicon wafer during semiconductor manufacturing. These bonding areas are used to form the leads, pins, or pads of the chip to connect the chip's electrodes to the circuit outside the package.

[0044] S2. Perform die bonding and chip pasting on the power board and signal board.

[0045] S3. Place the signal board, transformer board and power board into the corresponding positions in the housing and fix them.

[0046] S4. Install the first pin and the second pin, and solder the pins.

[0047] S5. Test the DC / DC converter, and after the test, clean, bake, and cap it.

[0048] The DC / DC converter packaging structure in the prior art integrates the power board, signal board and transformer board on a circuit board, and attaches the entire circuit board to the bottom of the shell, resulting in low space utilization of the circuit board and low assembly density of components, which in turn leads to excessive size of the DC / DC converter product. The power hybrid integrated DC / DC converter packaging structure of the utility model splits the entire DC / DC converter circuit board into a power board, a signal board and a transformer board, and arranges them in layers inside the shell to form a stacked board frame, and enables the signal board to adopt a double-sided wiring structure, thereby improving the assembly density of components in the DC / DC converter circuit and reducing the product packaging size. In addition, by attaching the power board to the bottom of the metal shell, it helps to dissipate heat from the power board.

[0049] In one embodiment, an insulating sleeve 8 and a shell pin are further included. The insulating sleeve passes through the through hole, and the shell pin passes through the insulating sleeve to connect with the pad at the bottom of the power board.

[0050] In this embodiment, there are 8 shell pins, namely the first shell pin 2, the second shell pin 16, the third shell pin 17, the fourth shell pin 18, the fifth shell pin 19, the sixth shell pin 20, the seventh shell pin 21, and the eighth shell pin 22.

[0051] By providing the shell pins, it is convenient to connect the output end of the power board to the external circuit, so as to supply power to the external circuit. By providing the insulating sleeve, the metal shell is prevented from being charged, thereby ensuring the insulation performance of the metal shell.

[0052] In one embodiment, the power board is provided with a chip bonding wire 12 , and the signal board is also provided with a chip bonding wire.

[0053] In one embodiment, the lower side of the transformer core 9 of the transformer board is adhered to the substrate of the power board.

[0054] No components are installed at the position where the substrate of the power board and the transformer core are opposite to each other, and the lower side of the transformer core can be pasted on the substrate of the power board, and adhesive can be used for pasting.

[0055] Since the transformer core is a high-power device, by sticking the lower side of the transformer core to the substrate of the power board, the heat dissipation efficiency of the transformer core can be increased, preventing the transformer board from overheating and causing failure; in addition, the substrate of the power board can provide vertical support force for the transformer board and fix the position of the transformer board.

[0056] In one embodiment, four corners inside the metal shell are provided with support parts for preventing the signal board from moving, and the signal board is detachably connected to the support parts.

[0057] By detachably connecting the signal board to the support portion, the signal board can be fixed inside the metal shell, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the DC / DC converter; and when the DC / DC converter fails, it is easy to disassemble and repair it.

[0058] In one embodiment, the support portion is provided with threads, and the signal board is threadedly connected to the support portion via M1 screws.

[0059] In this embodiment, four M1 screws are used to fix the four corners of the signal board on the four supporting parts respectively. The four M1 screws are a first M1 screw 14 , a second M1 screw 15 , a third M1 screw 6 and a fourth M1 screw 13 .

[0060] In one embodiment, a through hole is formed on the transformer board for the pins connecting the signal board and the power board to pass through.

[0061] In this embodiment, the insulating sleeve 8 may be a glass insulator, and other insulating components may also be used in other embodiments.

[0062] In one embodiment, the cover plate is fixed to the housing by means of parallel welds.

[0063] By fixing it to the casing using parallel welds, the airtightness of the entire DC / DC converter can be guaranteed.

[0064] In one embodiment, the metal shell is a groove with an opening on one side.
