Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a chip packaging structure. Background Technology

[0002] In lithium battery applications, battery protection is crucial. Currently, lithium battery protection systems commonly employ a method where MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) and control chips are procured separately, soldered onto PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), and connected separately. This traditional approach has several drawbacks. From a PCB area perspective, MOSFETs and control chips, as two independent components, require separate space on the PCB, resulting in a larger overall PCB area requirement. For space-constrained electronic devices such as smartphones and wearable devices, a large PCB area not only limits miniaturization but can also lead to more complex internal layouts, increasing design and manufacturing difficulties. Regarding MOSFET cracking, MOSFETs are subjected to stress during soldering and are susceptible to vibration and temperature changes during actual use. Individual MOSFETs lack sufficient physical support, making them prone to cracking under these external forces. Once a MOSFET cracks, it severely affects the normal operation of the battery protection circuit and may even cause short circuits, overcharging, and over-discharging, significantly reducing the reliability and stability of the lithium battery system. Furthermore, this separate procurement and assembly model lengthens the supply chain. This involves multiple stages such as the procurement, transportation, and storage of two different components, increasing management costs and potential risks, such as supply delays and component compatibility issues. In summary, the existing lithium battery protection circuit, which separates the MOSFET and the control chip, has significant shortcomings in terms of PCB footprint, MOSFET reliability, and supply chain management, and urgently needs improvement.
