Background technology
Along with development of semiconductor, the supply power voltage that various chips require is more and more lower, but the supply current that requires is increasing; Simultaneously, use the also constantly development of power of transformer technology, its efficient and power density specification increase day by day.Putting to realizing the optimization of power circuit before this, except the optimal design of circuit topology itself, element and circuit parameter, printed circuit board (PCB) (printed circuit board) layout, wiring, mechanism design, inverter circuit parameter designing such as thermal design are also more and more important.
See also Fig. 1, it is the schematic diagram of an existing transformer 1, and transformer 1 comprises a plurality of voltage transformation unit 10, copper post 11a and 11b.Copper post 11a and 11b respectively with the current output terminal 100 and 101 solder joints of each voltage transformation unit 10 so that the output current of each voltage transformation unit 10 is derived by copper post 11a and 11b.
See also Fig. 2, it is the part schematic diagram of a supply unit, comprises a transformer 1, is arranged on the power supply motherboard 2.Power supply motherboard 2 comprises Copper Foil 2a and 2b, its respectively with copper post 11a and 11b solder joints, so that the output current of transformer 1 is derived by copper post 11a and 11b.Please continue to consult Fig. 3, it is corresponding with Fig. 2, is a power supply mother matrix and load connection diagram.On power supply mother matrix 2, have a plurality of linkage units 3, Copper Foil 2a and 2b respectively with linkage unit 3 solder joints; In addition, on a load (load) side motherboard 4, have a plurality of splicing ears 40, it is welded in respectively on the end of conductive plate 4a and 4b, and load 5 is connected to the conductive plate 4a of load-side motherboard 4 and the other end of 4b by connection line 5a and 5b, so that the output current of transformer 1 exports load 5 at last in regular turn by conductive plate 4a and 4b and the connection line 5a and the 5b of linkage unit 3, splicing ear 40, load-side motherboard 4.
But the configuration that is connected of above-mentioned transformer 1 and load 5, along with power density improves constantly, its volume is required more and more littler, and the number that is connected in parallel of transformer output must respective volume be reduced and reduce.Yet after the transformer 1 of above-mentioned connection configuration was connected to power supply motherboard 2, conduction afterwards links promptly became plane distribution, so the whole height of transformer 1 is not fully utilized, and was unfortunate very.Moreover, in the above-mentioned connection configuration, the pad that has a great deal of, for example the current output terminal 100 and 101 of copper post 11a and 11b and each voltage transformation unit 10 is solder joints, copper post 11a and 11b and Copper Foil 2a and 2b also are solder joints, and pad causes contact resistance and conduction loss to increase, and makes load 5 can't make full use of the power supply energy that existing transformer 1 is provided.
In sum, how making full use of the whole height of transformer, and transformer to contact resistance between the load and conduction loss effectively reduced, is the target that industry still need make great efforts to reach.
