Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and more particularly to a high-discharge current and low-capacitance protection element for USB 3.0. Background Art

[0002] USB 3.0, considered SuperSpeed ​​USB, is a USB specification initiated by Intel and other companies, offering a maximum transmission bandwidth of up to 5Gbps. USB 3.0 interfaces are widely used in computers, mobile phones, tablets, and other products. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a common transient overcurrent threat in USB 3.0 applications. USB 3.0 boasts a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 5Gbps and a standard 5V supply voltage. Therefore, corresponding protection components must have a capacitance of no more than 0.8pF and an operating voltage of no more than 5V. Low capacitance effectively prevents the loss of useful signal data, while low operating voltage provides timely protection for downstream circuits. For practical applications, protection components must have a high discharge current capability of no less than 22A, a low capacitance of no more than 0.8pF, and an ESD resistance rating of up to ±30kV.

[0003] like Figure 4 As shown, it is a conventional SOT23-6L package 2-way unidirectional high discharge current low capacitance protection component used in USB3.0. The performance of this component meets the following requirements: V RWM =5V, C J (f=1MHz,V R =0V)≤0.8pF, IPPmax(tp=8 / 20us)≥22A, VESD(Contact Mode)≥±30kV. Data interface terminal Ⅰ1, ground terminal 2, data interface terminal 3, VCC terminal Ⅰ4, VCC terminal Ⅱ5, VCC terminal Ⅲ6 are the six ports of SOT23-6L. Diode chip Ⅰ7, diode chip Ⅱ8, diode chip Ⅲ9, diode chip Ⅳ10 are set on the plastic package body Ⅰ18. These chips are low-capacitance unidirectional diode chips processed with P-type substrate material. Their parameters meet the following requirements: C J (f=1MHz,V R =0V)≤0.4pF, IPPmax(tp=8 / 20us)≥22A, V BR (I T =1mA)≥100V; Diode chip V11 is a transient suppression unidirectional diode chip processed from P-type substrate material, and its parameters meet the following requirements: C J (f=1MHz,V R =0V)≥20pF, IPPmax(tp=8 / 20us)≥22A, V BR (I T=1mA)≥5V. Bonding wires I12, II13, III14, IV15, V16, and VI17 are typically 1.0-1.5mil Cu wire. Since common low-capacitance unidirectional diode chips and TVS unidirectional diode chips on the market typically use N-type substrate materials, using P-type substrate materials for these chips is unconventional, significantly increasing manufacturing difficulty and procurement costs.

To accommodate diode chip V11, the protection module is extended to the right and grounded via ground terminal 2. Correspondingly, the VCC module on the right has an E-shaped cross-section. To accommodate the expansion of the protection module, a right-side recessed structure is formed on the left side. The three branch sections of the VCC module correspond to the externally connected VCC terminals I4, II5, and III6, respectively. The portion of the VCC module corresponding to VCC terminal III6 is connected to diode chip I7 on data module I via bonding wire I12.

[0023] Example:

[0024] The following is combined with Figure 1 、 2 , 3, and 5 further describe the utility model in detail.

[0025] A high discharge current and low capacitance protection component for USB3.0, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a VCC module, data module I, data module II, and protection module are provided on the plastic package II 30. Data module I, data module II, and protection module are provided on the left side of the plastic package II 30, while the VCC module is provided on the right side of the plastic package II 30. Data module I has an L-shaped cross-section structure, on which a diode chip VI 19 is provided, which is externally connected via data interface terminal I 1. Data module II has an L-shaped cross-section structure, on which a diode chip IX 22 is provided, which is externally connected via data interface terminal II 3. The protection module has a T-shaped cross-section structure, on which no diode chip is provided, and is grounded via ground terminal 2. To accommodate the subsequent installation of the VCC module, the overall thickness of the top portion of the T is reduced, and it has a relative indentation compared to the nearby data modules I and II. The VCC module has an E-shaped cross-section. Its left side features a protruding section for mounting diode chip X23. The module's three branch sections correspond to external VCC terminals I4, II5, and III6, respectively. VCC terminal I4 corresponds to diode chip VIII21, VCC terminal II5 corresponds to diode chip X23, and VCC terminal III6 corresponds to diode chip VII20. Diode chip VI19 connects to the protection module via bonding wire VIII25. Diode chip VII20 connects to data module I via bonding wire VII24. Diode chip VIII21 connects to data module II via bonding wire X27. Diode chip IX22 connects to the protection module via bonding wire IX26. Diode chip X23 connects to the protection module via bonding wires XI28 and XII29.

[0026] Bonding wires VII24, VIII25, IX26, X27, XI28, and XII29 are all 1.0-1.5 mil copper wires. Diode chips VI19, VII20, VIII21, and IX22 are low-capacitance unidirectional diode chips made from common N-type substrate materials. Their parameters need to meet the following requirements: J (f=1MHz,V R =0V)≤0.4pF, IPPmax(tp=8 / 20us)≥22A, V BR (I T =1mA)≥100V, VESD (Contact Mode)≥±30KV. The diode chip X23 is a transient suppression unidirectional diode chip made of N-type substrate material, and its parameters need to meet the following requirements: C J (f=1MHz,V R =0V)≥20pF, IPPmax(tp=8 / 20us)≥22A, V BR (I T =1mA)≥5V, VESD(Contact Mode)≥±30KV.

[0027] Data interface terminal Ⅰ1 and data interface terminal Ⅱ3 are 2-way I / O data interface terminals, and VCC terminal Ⅰ4, VCC terminal Ⅱ5, and VCC terminal Ⅲ6 are connected. Figure 3 As shown, the diode has a forward conduction characteristic from the ground terminal 2 to the data interface terminal Ⅰ1 or the data interface terminal Ⅱ3, and a reverse breakdown protection characteristic from the data interface terminal Ⅰ1 or the data interface terminal Ⅱ3 to the ground terminal 2. Figure 5 As shown, from the ground terminal 2 to one of the VCC terminals Ⅰ4, VCC terminal Ⅱ5, and VCC terminal Ⅲ6 is the forward conduction characteristic of the diode, and from one of the VCC terminals Ⅰ4, VCC terminal Ⅱ5, and VCC terminal Ⅲ6 to the ground terminal 2 is the reverse breakdown protection characteristic of the diode.

[0028] By optimizing the package frame structure and chip layout, V RWM =5V, C J (f=1MHz,V R =0V)≤0.8pF, IPPmax(tp=8 / 20us)≥22A, VESD(Contact Mode)≥±30kV. Compared to existing conventional solutions, low-capacitance unidirectional diode chips and transient voltage suppression unidirectional diode chips manufactured with N-type substrate materials are not only easier to manufacture but also have lower procurement costs.
