Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic circuit technology, and more specifically, to a thick-film circuit for a high-current power amplifier with adjustable gain and a temperature resistance of 200°C. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature, high-current power amplifiers are used to drive various sensors, actuators, and detection devices. These devices need to operate for extended periods in high-temperature and complex environments, requiring high-temperature resistant and stable power amplifiers.
[0003] The prior art publication CN105830342B provides a harmonic suppression circuit for a switch-mode power amplifier. A harmonic reduction bias generator drives a bias voltage across a cascaded control transistor connected in series with the drive transistor on the power amplifier, thereby suppressing even-order harmonics. A first bias voltage is generated by mirroring the pull-up current in the power amplifier. A p-channel source transistor and a p-channel cascaded current mirror transistor also mirror the pull-up current of the power amplifier to an intermediate node. An n-channel sink transistor and an n-channel cascaded current mirror transistor mirror the pull-down current in the power amplifier to the intermediate node. The operational amplifier compares the intermediate node with VDD / 2 and drives the gate of the p-channel feedback transistor. Current from the p-channel feedback transistor flows through the n-channel cascaded current mirror transistor, generating a second bias voltage. The second bias voltage is adjusted until the intermediate node reaches VDD / 2, resulting in better matching of the pull-up and pull-down currents in the power amplifier, thereby reducing even-order harmonics.
[0004] Although the existing technical solutions mentioned above can achieve the relevant beneficial effects through the existing technical structure, they still have the following drawbacks: traditional high-current power amplifiers are either not resistant to high temperatures or are large in size and have inflexible circuit adjustments.
[0005] In view of this, we propose a thick-film circuit for a high-current power amplifier with adjustable gain and a temperature resistance of 200℃. Utility Model Content

[0020] Furthermore, to address the impact of high-temperature environments on circuit performance and prevent output signal distortion due to temperature changes, this circuit employs a unique compensation mechanism. Specifically:
[0021] The entire circuit uses the diode in NPN transistor Q5 (the same model as NPN transistor Q3) to perfectly compensate for the Darlington transistor composed of PNP transistor Q1 and NPN transistor Q3.

This powerful current output capability allows the circuit to easily drive various high-power loads, making it widely applicable in industrial control, power electronics, and communication equipment.
[0025] As an optional solution of this utility model, the thick-film circuit of the high-current power amplifier with adjustable gain and a temperature resistance of 200℃ adopts a thick-film gold wire bonding process. In high-temperature environments, ordinary circuit connection methods are prone to many problems, while the thick-film gold wire bonding process can effectively address these issues. The thick-film conductor material used in thick-film technology has excellent high-temperature resistance characteristics. In a high-temperature environment of 200℃, the thick-film conductor can maintain stable electrical performance and will not undergo significant resistance changes due to high temperatures, thus ensuring the stability of signal transmission in the circuit.

They complement the thick-film gold wire bonding process, jointly ensuring the high performance of the circuit.
[0029] As an optional solution of this utility model, gold wire is used as the connecting medium, and a strong connection is achieved between the gold wire and the thick-film conductor through a special pressure welding process. This connection method can withstand the thermal stress caused by high temperatures and reduce poor contact caused by temperature changes. Compared with traditional welding methods, the connection points formed by thick-film gold wire pressure welding have higher mechanical strength and better electrical connection performance. In high-temperature environments, the connection points will not loosen or break, ensuring stable connections between components in the circuit and effectively avoiding signal interruptions or interference caused by unstable connections.

The thick-film conductor must possess excellent high-temperature resistance to ensure stable circuit operation in high-temperature environments. Common thick-film conductor materials include precious metal pastes and precious metal pastes;
[0059] Precious metal pastes: including silver-palladium alloy pastes and gold pastes, etc.;
[0060] Silver-palladium alloy paste: Silver (Ag) possesses excellent electrical conductivity, ranking among the highest of common metals, effectively reducing resistance loss during signal transmission. Palladium (Pd) enhances the material's chemical stability and high-temperature resistance. At 200℃, the silver-palladium alloy paste maintains structural stability and does not easily react chemically with the surrounding environment, preventing increased resistance or decreased connection performance due to oxidation, thus ensuring the stability of circuit signal transmission.
[0061] Gold paste: Gold (Au) is chemically extremely stable, hardly reacting with other substances, and maintains excellent electrical properties even in harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity. Gold also has high electrical conductivity, providing a low-resistance signal transmission path for circuits. Using gold paste as a conductor in thick-film circuits can significantly improve circuit reliability and lifespan, making it particularly suitable for electronic devices with extremely high stability requirements.
[0062] Base metal pastes: including copper pastes and nickel pastes, etc.;
[0063] Copper paste: Copper (Cu) has high electrical conductivity and relatively low cost, making it a cost-effective choice for thick-film conductors. To ensure stable operation at 200°C, it is often treated with special processes, such as adding an anti-oxidation coating to the surface to prevent oxidation and maintain conductivity at high temperatures. After treatment, the copper paste can provide a stable signal transmission channel for circuits while meeting certain cost requirements.
[0064] Nickel paste: Nickel (Ni) possesses excellent high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and is not easily deformed or damaged in high-temperature environments. Although its electrical conductivity is slightly lower than that of metals such as silver and copper, nickel paste can be used as a thick-film conductor material in some cost-sensitive applications where conductivity requirements are not extremely high. It can maintain the stability of its structure and electrical properties at high temperatures up to 200°C, ensuring the reliability of connections between components in the circuit.

This connection method can withstand the thermal stress caused by high temperatures and reduce poor contact caused by temperature changes. Compared with traditional welding methods, the connection points formed by thick-film gold wire pressure welding have higher mechanical strength and better electrical connection performance. In high-temperature environments, the connection points will not loosen or break, ensuring stable connections between components in the circuit and effectively avoiding signal interruptions or interference caused by unstable connections.
[0067] Furthermore, the thick-film gold wire bonding process involves precise control of process parameters during manufacturing. From the selection of gold wire and the bonding pressure to the temperature, all parameters have undergone rigorous optimization. This ensures that the entire circuit module maintains excellent temperature stability under high-temperature environments, and the drift of component parameters is controlled within a very small range. For example, the parameters of components such as resistors and capacitors may change under high temperatures, but the thick-film gold wire bonding process can minimize this parameter drift through stable connections and effective resistance to environmental factors, thereby ensuring that circuit performance is unaffected by high temperatures and operates continuously and stably.
[0068] This invention employs a bare-chip thick-film gold wire bonding process, significantly reducing the module's size. This advantage is particularly important in the current trend of miniaturization and integration in modern electronic devices. Traditional circuit packaging methods typically require considerable space to accommodate chips, pins, and other connecting components. The bare-chip thick-film gold wire bonding process directly connects the chip to the thick-film circuit, eliminating much of the redundancy found in traditional packaging. The bare chip itself is small, and by directly integrating it into the thick-film circuit through the gold wire bonding process, the additional space occupied by traditional packaging is avoided. The fine diameter of the gold wire and the precision of the bonding process allow for a rational layout of the connecting lines within a limited space, further reducing the overall module size. This compact power amplifier thick-film circuit can be more easily integrated into various compact devices.
