Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of PCB aluminum substrates, and in particular relates to a PCB aluminum substrate which is convenient for passing an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test. Background Art
[0002] PCB is a common circuit structure. PCB aluminum substrate is an electronic device with excellent thermal conductivity and strong dielectric thermal conductivity, suitable for efficient heat dissipation. Single-sided aluminum substrate is inexpensive and is widely used in LED lighting driver power supplies, power adapters and AC-DC converters. However, due to its single-sided characteristics, it is difficult to design EMC circuits for single-sided PCB aluminum substrates, and it is difficult to pass the electromagnetic compatibility EMC test because it cannot be connected to the ground layer at the shortest distance like a double-sided board. Without a common ground layer connection, the top ground wire part can only be connected together in a discontinuous or segmented form, which will lead to an increase in the signal loop area and an increase in the impedance of the high-frequency signal line, thereby increasing radiation and conduction interference. The signal integrity problem of the single-sided aluminum substrate will also affect the signal transmission performance, especially in high-frequency applications. The signal integrity will lead to a significant reduction in EMC performance, so it is difficult to pass the EMC electromagnetic compatibility test, and the conductivity and magnetic permeability characteristics of the aluminum substrate are also not conducive to EMC design in some frequency ranges, so the applicability and practicality are limited. Summary of the invention

[0005] The PCB aluminum substrate circuit board is provided with a copper foil GND circuit pad;
[0006] A coupling capacitor is provided between the ground copper foil circuit of the PCB aluminum substrate circuit layer and the copper foil GND circuit pad of the aluminum substrate;

[0008] More preferably, the coupling capacitor is a small-capacitance capacitor.

The two ends of the coupling capacitor are connected to the ground copper foil line and the copper foil GND line pad respectively. In actual application, the coupling capacitor is a small capacitance capacitor, the capacitance of which is very small and the leakage current is extremely low, belonging to the hair level leakage current, and it has strong high voltage resistance performance, and plays the role of electrical isolation in the circuit. In actual application, there is a dielectric layer 1 between the aluminum substrate and the ground copper foil line.
[0020] The aluminum substrate is a single-sided aluminum substrate. Using the metal substrate of the PCB aluminum substrate as a ground layer provides a common reference point for all unit circuits in the circuit system, which is conducive to optimizing the circuit layout, which is crucial to the stability of the entire circuit system. Providing a low-impedance loop for high-frequency currents, reducing signal reflections and electromagnetic interference caused by line impedance mismatch problems, can effectively suppress common-mode interference, and also reduce the circuit's sensitivity to external radiation interference, reduce mutual interference, and can also reduce electromagnetic interference inside and outside the circuit. The aluminum substrate has good heat dissipation performance, reduces thermal noise, and can reduce electromagnetic field coupling between different parts in the circuit, so that sensitive signal lines are away from power lines or switch nodes that may cause interference, which is conducive to meeting EMC test passing.
[0021] At the same time, it can be made through a simple metal stamping process, without the need to make double-sided aluminum substrate vias, thereby improving processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. In particular, through the improvement of this utility model, the high cost of making a single-sided aluminum substrate into a double-sided aluminum substrate in order to pass the EMC test is eliminated, so this solution can also greatly save production costs and material costs. Therefore, this solution solves the technical deficiency that the traditional PCB single-sided aluminum substrate cannot pass the EMC test, especially when used in switching power supplies, LED DOBs, and AC-DC converter solutions to save costs.
[0022] The utility model has positive effects: the structure of the utility model is reasonably arranged, and the aluminum substrate is used as a full-plane ground layer, and is matched with copper foil ground wire pins and pads, ground wire copper foil lines and coupling capacitors, so it has good grounding performance. The aluminum substrate metal substrate is used as a ground layer to provide a common reference point for all unit circuits in the circuit system, which is very important for the stability of the entire circuit system. It provides a low-impedance loop for high-frequency current, reduces signal reflection and electromagnetic interference caused by line impedance mismatch problems, can effectively suppress common-mode interference, and also reduces the circuit's sensitivity to external radiation interference, reduces mutual interference, and can also reduce electromagnetic interference inside and outside the circuit. The aluminum substrate has good heat dissipation performance and shielding function, can reduce thermal noise, can reduce the electromagnetic field coupling between different parts in the circuit, and keep sensitive signal lines away from power lines or switch nodes that may cause interference, which is conducive to meeting EMC test passing.
[0023] It has strong applicability and practicality. At the same time, it can be processed through a simple metal stamping process without the need for a double-sided aluminum substrate through-hole process, thereby improving processing efficiency and reducing processing costs and material costs. Through the improvement of this utility model, the high cost of making a single-sided aluminum substrate into a double-sided aluminum substrate in order to pass the EMC test is eliminated, so this solution can also greatly save production costs and material costs. Therefore, this solution solves the technical deficiency that the traditional PCB single-sided aluminum substrate cannot pass the EMC test, especially when used in switching power supplies, LED DOBs, and AC-DC converter solutions to save costs.
