[0168] It should be noted that the internal circuitry of the packaging structure 100g provided in the sixth embodiment is the same as that of the packaging structure 100a.

[0169] The difference between the packaging structure 100g provided in the sixth embodiment and the packaging structure 100a provided in the first embodiment lies in the different pin arrangement on the first side.

[0170] The high-voltage power pin HV, the bridge arm midpoint pin SW, and the low-voltage power pin LV are arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the first side 141. The distance between the high-voltage power pin HV and the bridge arm midpoint pin SW is the first distance d1, and the distance between the bridge arm midpoint pin SW and the low-voltage power pin LV is the first distance d1.

[0171] The second end of the first temperature sensor R1 is connected to the second Kelvin pin K2 via a wire bonding.

[0174] Figure 16 A circuit diagram of another packaging structure provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 17 A schematic diagram of the packaging structure provided according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0175] The difference between the packaging structure 100c provided in the seventh embodiment and the packaging structure 100a provided in the first embodiment lies in the different device types in the low-side power unit 170 and the high-side power unit 160.

[0176] See Figure 16 , Figure 17 The high-side power unit 160 includes a first metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor MOSFET1. The low-side power unit 170 includes a second metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor MOSFET2.

[0178] The gate of the second metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor MOSFET2 serves as the control terminal of the low-side power unit 170, the drain of the second metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor MOSFET2 serves as the first terminal of the low-side power unit 170, and the source of the second metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor MOSFET2 serves as the second terminal of the low-side power unit 170.

[0180] For example, in the package structure of this application, the power pins and signal pins are bent in the same direction so that the package structure can be surface-mounted.

[0181] The package structure provided in this application has the high-voltage power pin, low-voltage power pin, and bridge arm midpoint pin located on the first side of the package structure, while the high-side power unit signal pin and low-side power unit signal pin are located sequentially on the second side of the package structure. Furthermore, the distance between the high-side power unit signal pin and the low-side power unit signal pin is greater than the distance between any two adjacent pins on the first side. This larger distance between the high-side and low-side power unit signal pins reduces signal interference.

[0182] Furthermore, the high-side power unit signal pins include a first gate pin and a first Kelvin pin, while the low-side power unit signal pins include a second gate pin and a second Kelvin pin. The distance between the first gate pin and the second gate pin is greater than the distance between the first Kelvin pin and the second Kelvin pin, and the distance between the first Kelvin pin and the second Kelvin pin is greater than the distance between any two adjacent pins on the first side. This reduces signal interference between the high-side power unit signal pins and the low-side power unit signal pins.

[0183] Furthermore, a temperature detection pin can be provided between the first Kelvin pin and the second Kelvin pin to realize the temperature detection function of the package structure.
