Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor power device technology, and specifically to a power module and power unit for improving electromagnetic compatibility. Background Technology
[0002] Current power device module structures typically involve soldering power chips onto a conductive layer of an insulating substrate. These chips are connected in parallel to achieve high current handling capabilities. The conductive layer of the insulating substrate is divided into several large regions based on the chip polarity, and each region usually serves as a common current path for multiple parallel chips. In short, the insulating substrate serves to handle current and conduct heat. In this existing structure, all parallel power chips share a single current path, which easily leads to EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) problems. This is because the switching oscillations generated by each power chip after parallel connection interfere with each other, increasing the intensity of the oscillations. These oscillations severely affect system reliability, can cause devices to turn on falsely, and increase the risk of short circuits. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a power module and power unit with improved electromagnetic compatibility.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0019] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of a power module circuit according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1The power module includes a first MOS structure 1, a second MOS structure 2, an X capacitor 3, a first Y capacitor 4, and a second Y capacitor 5. Specifically, the source (S) of the first MOS structure 1 is connected to the AC terminal 8, and the drain (D) is connected to the positive DC terminal 6. The drain (D) of the second MOS structure 2 is connected to the AC terminal 8, and the source (S) is connected to the negative DC terminal 7. One end of the X capacitor 3 is connected to the positive DC terminal 6, and the other end is connected to the negative DC terminal 7, and grounded through GND. One end of the first Y capacitor 4 is connected to the positive DC terminal 6, and the other end is grounded through GND. One end of the second Y capacitor 5 is connected to the negative DC terminal 7, and the other end is grounded through GND. The AC terminal 8 is the U terminal in the circuit diagram, the positive DC terminal 6 is the P1 terminal, and the negative DC terminal 7 is the N1 terminal. The X capacitor 3 can suppress differential-mode interference. When current flows through the circuit, various reasons, such as the switching operation of electrical appliances or other interference sources in the power grid, can cause fluctuations in the power supply voltage, generating high-frequency noise and interference signals. The X capacitor smooths out these voltage fluctuations through its own charging and discharging process. When the voltage rises, the X capacitor charges, storing excess energy; when the voltage drops, the X capacitor discharges, releasing the stored energy, thus maintaining a relatively stable voltage and improving the module's electromagnetic interference immunity. The positive DC terminal 6 and negative DC terminal 7 of the power module are connected via the X capacitor 3. The Y capacitor suppresses common-mode interference. Due to the parasitic capacitance inherent in the module, common-mode interference current is generated. When these interference signals appear, the Y capacitor plays a role, bypassing the interference signal to ground, thereby reducing the impact of interference on the circuit. The positive DC terminal 6 and negative DC terminal 7 of the power module are grounded to GND via the first Y capacitor 4 and the second Y capacitor 5, respectively. By embedding X and Y capacitors inside the power module, differential-mode interference and common-mode interference can be effectively suppressed, improving the module's electromagnetic interference immunity, effectively absorbing interference signals during the module's turn-on and turn-off processes, reducing the risk of accidental turn-on, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the module during turn-on.

Considering the service life of the power module and the effects of overcurrent and heat conduction, in one embodiment of this utility model, the substrate 9 can be made of ceramic material. Ceramic material itself is an excellent insulator with high dielectric strength, which can prevent short circuits, and has high thermal conductivity, making it suitable for applications with extremely stringent requirements for mechanical reliability and thermal cycling.
[0021] In this embodiment, considering that the power module needs to be assembled onto other modules, a solder layer 12 is provided on the bottom surface of the lower copper foil 10 to facilitate the installation of the power module. In this embodiment, a DC terminal is provided on one side of the upper copper foil 11, and an AC terminal 8 is provided on the opposite side of the upper copper foil 11. Through the first MOS structure 1 and the second MOS structure 2, the current flowing from the positive terminal 6 of the DC terminal to the AC terminal 8, or the current flowing from the AC terminal 8 to the negative terminal 7 of the DC terminal, can be controlled.
[0022] In this embodiment, an X capacitor 3 is provided on one side of the DC terminal. The X capacitor 3 is disposed on the upper copper foil 11, and one end of the X capacitor 3 is connected to the positive terminal 6 of the DC terminal, and the other end is connected to the negative terminal 7 of the DC terminal, so that the positive terminal 6 of the DC terminal in the power module is connected to the negative terminal 7 of the DC terminal.
[0023] In this embodiment, a first Y capacitor 4 and a second Y capacitor 5 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the AC terminal 8 and are disposed on the upper copper foil 11. One end of the first Y capacitor 4 and the second Y capacitor 5 are connected to the substrate 9, and the other end of each is connected to the AC terminal 8, so that the positive terminal 6 of the DC terminal and the negative terminal 7 of the DC terminal are grounded to GND through the first Y capacitor 4 and the second Y capacitor 5, respectively.
[0024] In this embodiment, the first MOS structure 1 and the second MOS structure 2 are disposed between the DC terminal and the AC terminal 8, and are arranged symmetrically.
[0025] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a power unit, which includes multiple power modules. Each power module can be as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown. In this Figure 1The power module includes a first MOS structure 1, a second MOS structure 2, an X capacitor 3, a first Y capacitor 4, and a second Y capacitor 5.

One end of the first Y capacitor 4 is connected to the positive DC terminal 6, and the other end is grounded through GND. One end of the second Y capacitor 5 is connected to the negative DC terminal 7, and the other end is grounded through GND. The X capacitor 3 suppresses differential-mode interference. When current flows through the circuit, various factors, such as the switching of electrical appliances or other interference sources in the power grid, can cause fluctuations in the power supply voltage, generating high-frequency noise and interference signals. The X capacitor smooths these voltage fluctuations through its own charging and discharging process. When the voltage rises, capacitor X charges and stores excess energy; when the voltage drops, capacitor X discharges and releases the stored energy, thus maintaining a relatively stable voltage and improving the module's electromagnetic interference immunity. Capacitor X3 connects the positive DC terminal 6 and negative DC terminal 7 of the power module. Capacitor Y suppresses common-mode interference. Due to the parasitic capacitance inherent in the module, common-mode interference current is generated. When these interference signals appear, capacitor Y functions by bypassing the interference signals to ground, thereby reducing the impact of interference on the circuit. Capacitors 6 and 7 of the DC terminal in the power module are grounded to GND via capacitors 4 and 5, respectively. By embedding capacitors X and Y inside the power module, differential-mode interference and common-mode interference can be effectively suppressed, improving the module's electromagnetic interference immunity, effectively absorbing interference signals during module turn-on and turn-off processes, reducing the risk of accidental turn-on, and ensuring safe and stable operation of the module during turn-on.
