Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to hybrid integrated circuit devices, specifically a plastic-encapsulated surface mount ideal diode. Background Technology

[0002] Schottky diodes are widely used in various power systems to provide reverse current protection during input power failures, to increase power capacity in parallel power supplies, or to provide backup power. However, the large forward voltage drop and rapidly increasing reverse leakage current of Schottky diodes lead to significant power losses and reduced system efficiency. MOSFETs (Field-Effect Transistors) offer advantages over traditional Schottky diodes, such as low conduction losses and extremely low reverse leakage current. Therefore, combining a driver chip with a MOSFET can yield an ideal diode product with ultra-low on-state voltage drop and negligible reverse leakage current, significantly reducing power losses in high-current scenarios.

[0003] The existing alternative to Schottky diodes involves an ideal diode controller and a low on-resistance MOSFET connected electrically via a PCB board or other circuitry to achieve the function of an ideal diode. This approach requires a larger area, increases PCB manufacturing costs, and necessitates consideration of the selection of a low on-resistance MOSFET, thus increasing the system design workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a plastic-encapsulated surface mount (TO-263) ideal diode for driving a low on-resistance MOSFET with an ideal diode controller, so as to achieve low conduction loss.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a plastic-encapsulated surface mount ideal diode, with the following specific structure:

[0006] The frame is a copper frame body, including three electrodes: OUT, IN, and GND. The MOS chip and the copper-clad ceramic substrate are sintered together using solder on electrode OUT. The copper-clad ceramic substrate includes a control chip placement area, a first base plate electrode, a second base plate electrode, a third base plate electrode, and a fourth base plate electrode. The first base plate electrode is connected to the electrode on the back side via a through-hole and is considered as one electrode. The control chip placement area is sintered together with the control IC using solder, providing mechanical support. The VDD and VOUT electrodes on the surface of the control chip are connected to the first base plate electrode via 18µm gold wire bonding, and to electrode OUT... The UT electrode forms an electrical connection; the GND electrode on the surface of the control chip is bonded to the second base plate electrode via an 18µm gold wire, and then the second base plate electrode and the GND electrode are bonded to form an electrical connection via a 100µm aluminum wire; the GATE electrode on the surface of the control chip is bonded to the third base plate electrode via an 18µm gold wire, and then the third base plate electrode and the gate PAD of the MOS chip are bonded to form an electrical connection via a 100µm aluminum wire; the VIN electrode on the surface of the control chip is bonded to the fourth base plate electrode via an 18µm gold wire, and then the fourth base plate electrode and the IN electrode are bonded to form an electrical connection via a 100µm aluminum wire.

[0007] The principle of this invention is as follows: An ideal diode control chip and a low on-resistance power MOSFET are electrically connected via a copper-clad ceramic plate and three different bonding wires to achieve their overall function. The control chip changes the output drive voltage by detecting the voltage difference across the source and drain of the MOSFET to control the MOSFET's turn-on and turn-off. The power consumption of the entire control section is very low; therefore, the control section is connected to the input and output using gold ball bonding and fine aluminum wire wedge bonding. The power section, which is the source and drain of the MOSFET, needs to carry a considerable current; therefore, thick aluminum wire bonding and solder sintering are used to connect them to reduce losses. This package uses a copper frame and molding compound structure, making the cost controllable.

[0008] This invention integrates the functions of an ideal diode through a special design of the copper-clad ceramic plate and bonding wires. It also incorporates the aluminum wire resistance connecting the source and drain sides into the control range of the controller, ultimately realizing an ideal diode with three ports: power input, power output, and common ground. Compared with traditional Schottky diode or ideal diode controller solutions, this invention can reduce conduction losses while further reducing system or PCB area. It also reduces the conduction losses of the device at low currents, achieving higher power density. Due to its plastic packaging structure, this invention has low cost and high cost-effectiveness.

The surface VIN electrode of the control chip is bonded to the fourth base plate electrode 9 via an 18µm gold wire, and then the fourth base plate electrode 9 is electrically connected to the IN electrode using a 100µm aluminum wire.

[0016] The above-mentioned packaging method for a plastic-encapsulated surface mount ideal diode includes the following steps:

Then, the control IC 2 is placed on the control chip placement area 5 on the copper-clad ceramic plate 4 using soft solder. Finally, the sintering process is used to complete the welding of all components.

Using 100µm aluminum wire wedge bonding, the electrical connections between the second substrate electrode 7 and the electrode sheet (GND), the third substrate electrode 8 and the gate PAD of the MOS chip 3, and the fourth substrate electrode 9 and the electrode sheet (IN) are completed. Finally, using 380µm aluminum wire wedge bonding, the electrical connections between the source of the MOS chip 3 and the electrode sheet (IN) are completed.

It is mainly used in various power supply systems or automatic control systems. Its features include compact product structure, convenient surface mount packaging, fast turn-off response time, wide voltage operating range, extremely short internal electrode connection distance, very small parasitic parameters, high power density, internal bonding wire resistance adjustable by the controller, and lower cost, making it cost-effective.
