Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a special electrostatic protection chip for a USB-C PD3.1 interface. Background Art

[0002] The USB-C PD3.1 specification has added an extended power range while maintaining the maximum power of 100W in the original PD3.0 standard power range. The maximum power is extended from the original 100W to 240W. Although the version is only an upgrade to 0.1, it is a major upgrade in terms of power alone. Compared with the original PD3.0, the new USB-C PD3.1 fast charging specification divides the power into a standard power range (SPR) and an extended power range (EPR). The standard power range is the mainstream USB-C PD3.0 PPS fast charging standard on the market, and the maximum charging power remains unchanged at 100W; the newly added 28V, 36V, and 48V voltages belong to the extended power range. The maximum output current corresponding to the three voltages is 5A, and the maximum output power can reach 240W, which makes PD3.1 fast charging have greater charging power and a new higher fast charging voltage.

[0003] The PD3.1 fast charging charger is a new charger that has emerged recently. It has the characteristics of high output voltage, high power and small size. It can be seen that the electrostatic protection device at the output end of the PD3.1 fast charging charger should be as small as possible under the voltage of the corresponding gear. However, the electrostatic protection scheme for its interface mostly uses four single electrostatic protection diodes. Since the number of devices used is as many as four, there are the following problems: it occupies a lot of printed circuit board area, the wiring is relatively complicated, the number of patch times is large, and the cost is high.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, it is particularly necessary to design a new type of electrostatic protection chip dedicated to the USB-C PD3.1 interface. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a special electrostatic protection chip for a USB-CPD3.1 interface, which has a reasonable structural design, simplified wiring, and only uses one electrostatic protection device, which is small in number, reduces the area of ​​the printed circuit board, reduces the number of patch times, reduces costs, is highly practical, and is easy to promote and use.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a USB-C A dedicated electrostatic protection chip for a PD3.1 interface comprises a metal lead frame, silver paste solder, a unidirectional electrostatic protection chip, a bidirectional 5V electrostatic protection chip, a metal wire and epoxy resin, wherein silver paste solder is placed on pins 1, 3, 5 and 8 of the metal lead frame, wherein a unidirectional electrostatic protection chip is respectively placed on the silver paste solder of pins 1 and 5 of the metal lead frame, and two bidirectional 5V electrostatic protection chips are placed on the silver paste solder of pins 3 and 8, the two unidirectional electrostatic protection chips are electrically connected to pins 3 and 8 of the metal lead frame through metal wires, the two bidirectional 5V electrostatic protection chips are respectively electrically connected to pins 2 and 4 of the metal lead frame through metal wires, and pins 6, 7, 9 and 10 of the metal lead frame are empty; the metal lead frame, silver paste solder, unidirectional electrostatic protection chip, bidirectional 5V electrostatic protection chip and metal wire are half-wrapped with epoxy resin to form a dedicated electrostatic protection chip structure for a USB-C PD3.1 interface.

[0007] Preferably, pins 1 and 5 of the metal lead frame are 28V, 36V or 48V electrostatic protection function positions, which are directly connected to the CC1 and CC2 signal lines of the USB-C PD3.1 interface, reducing the connection distance between the two parties, thereby improving the electrostatic protection capability.

[0008] Preferably, pins 2 and 4 of the metal lead frame are 5V electrostatic protection function positions, which are directly connected to the D+ and D- signal lines of the USB-C PD3.1 interface, reducing the connection distance between the two parties, thereby improving the electrostatic protection capability.

[0009] Preferably, the unidirectional electrostatic protection chip adopts one of the unidirectional 28V, 36V or 48V electrostatic protection chips.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the device only needs to use one electrostatic protection device, the number of components is small, the area occupied by the electrostatic protection device on the printed circuit board is greatly reduced, the wiring is simplified, the number of patches is reduced, the cost is reduced, the device is practical and reliable, and the application prospect is broad.
