The invention provides an intelligent power module.
An intelligent Power module, i.e., ipm (intelligent Power module), is a Power driving product combining Power electronics and integrated circuit technology. The intelligent power module integrates a power switch device and a high-voltage driving circuit and is internally provided with fault detection circuits such as overvoltage, overcurrent and overheat. The intelligent power module receives a control signal of the MCU to drive a subsequent circuit to work on one hand, and sends a state detection signal of the system back to the MCU on the other hand.

In this embodiment, the mounting carrier 10 may be implemented by any one of an aluminum substrate, an aluminum alloy substrate, a copper substrate, or a copper alloy substrate. The mounting carrier 10 is a mounting carrier 10 of IGBT chips and the driving chip 40, and the shape of the mounting carrier 10 may be determined according to the specific position, number and size of the IGBT chips, and may be a square, but is not limited to a square. The mounting carrier 10 is provided with a circuit wiring layer 12, and the circuit wiring layer 12 forms corresponding lines and mounting positions, i.e. pads, for mounting each electronic element in the IGBT chip on the mounting carrier 10 according to the circuit design of the intelligent power module.
When the mount carrier 10 is also realized by a DBC (copper clad ceramic substrate), the copper clad ceramic substrate includes an insulating heat dissipation layer and a circuit wiring layer 12 formed on the insulating heat dissipation layer. When the mounting carrier 10 made of a metal material is used, the mounting carrier 10 includes a heat dissipation substrate 13, an insulating layer 11 laid on the heat dissipation substrate 13, and a circuit wiring layer 12 formed on the insulating layer 11. In the present embodiment, the mount carrier 10 may be selected as a single-sided wiring board. The insulating layer 11 is sandwiched between the circuit wiring layer 12 and the metal mounting carrier 10. The insulating layer is used for realizing electrical isolation and electromagnetic shielding between the circuit wiring layer 12 and the metal mounting carrier 10 and reflecting external electromagnetic interference, so that external electromagnetic radiation is prevented from interfering normal work of an IGBT chip, and interference influence of electromagnetic radiation in the surrounding environment on electronic elements in the intelligent power module is reduced. The insulating layer 11 is made of a thermoplastic adhesive or a thermosetting adhesive, so as to achieve the fixed connection and insulation between the mounting carrier 10 and the circuit wiring layer 12. The insulating layer 11 may be a high thermal conductivity insulating layer 11 made of one or more of epoxy resin, alumina, and high thermal conductivity filling material. In the process of manufacturing the mount carrier 10, after the insulating layer 11 is provided on the heat dissipating substrate 13, a copper foil may be laid on the insulating layer 11 and etched in accordance with a predetermined circuit design, thereby forming the circuit wiring layer 12.
The mounting carrier 10 may also be implemented by a lead frame, the lead frame is provided with a base island and a connecting frame, and the driving chip 40 and each IGBT chip are disposed on the corresponding base island and electrically connected to the connecting frame through a metal lead.
The power chip 20 may be a gallium nitride (GaN) power chip 20, a Si-based power chip 20, or a SiC-based power chip 20, and the present embodiment preferably employs the gallium nitride (GaN) power chip 20. The number of the power chips 20 may be one or multiple, and when the number of the power chips 20 is multiple, the power chips 20 may include four power chips 20, or a multiple of four power chips, or six power chips 20, or a multiple of six power chips, and the six power chips 20 form an inverter circuit, so that the power converter is applied to electrical equipment such as an inverter power supply, a frequency converter, refrigeration equipment, metallurgical mechanical equipment, electric traction equipment, and particularly to frequency conversion household appliances. When the intelligent power module works, the driving chip 40 outputs a corresponding PWM control signal to drive and control the corresponding power chip 20 to be turned on/off, so as to output driving electric energy to drive a load such as a motor to work.
In this embodiment, the number and the positions of the fast recovery diodes 21 correspond to those of each power chip 20, and six fast recovery diodes may be selected. The fast recovery diode 21 is a high power anti-parallel diode for achieving fast turn-off of the power chip 20. The power chip 20 may be a power tube such as an IGBT or a MOSFET, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the IGBT is taken as an example for description. The power chip 20 may specifically be a SiC MOSFET or a SiC IGBT, or when a GaN HEMT device, the switching loss of the intelligent power module is reduced to be low, which is further beneficial to saving electric energy and reducing the heat generation of the module, and the fast recovery diode 21 may be implemented by a fast recovery diode 21 made of a Si material or a schottky diode, so that the production cost of the intelligent power module is reduced while the power consumption of the intelligent power module is low. In some embodiments, the power chip 20 may also be implemented by using an RC-IGBT, which integrates a fast recovery diode FRD packaged in anti-parallel with the IGBT power chip 20 on the same chip, thereby reducing the size of the inverter bridge circuit. So set up, be favorable to improving power density, reduce high integrated intelligent power module's volume, manufacturing cost and encapsulation process, still be favorable to improving high integrated intelligent power module's reliability simultaneously.
The driving chip 40 is integrated with a temperature detection trigger circuit and a driving circuit 41, and when the intelligent power module works, the driving circuit 4130 outputs a corresponding control signal to control the power chip 20 to be turned on/off, so as to output driving power to drive a load such as a motor to work. The power chip 20 generates high heat in this process, and if the temperature is too high and exceeds the junction temperature of the power chip 20, the power chip 20 is easily damaged. Therefore, the driving chip 40 receives the voltage signal of the temperature detection device 30 reflecting the junction temperature of the power chip 20, compares the voltage signal with the preset voltage threshold, and determines whether the junction temperature of the power chip 20 is too high according to the comparison result of the voltage signal and the preset voltage threshold, wherein the temperature corresponding to the preset voltage threshold is the over-temperature protection point of the IGBT.
In the embodiment of the invention, the installation position is arranged on the installation substrate; arranging the power device on a mounting position of a mounting substrate; and arranging a temperature detection device close to the power device to detect the junction temperature of the power device and output the junction temperature to the driving chip, so that when the temperature detection device detects that the junction temperature of the power device exceeds a preset temperature value, the power device is controlled to stop working. The invention solves the problems that the distance between the driving chip and a heating power device (IGBT and a fast recovery diode) is long, so that a temperature detection circuit in the driving chip can not detect the junction temperature of the power device and can not perform over-temperature protection on the power chip. The junction temperature detection accuracy and the timeliness of the power chip 20 can be improved.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment, the temperature detection device 30 is stacked on the power chip 20.
In this embodiment, the temperature detection device 30 is a temperature sensitive resistor;
one end of the temperature sensitive resistor is welded to the emitter of the power chip 20, and the other end of the temperature sensitive resistor is electrically connected with the temperature detection end of the driving chip 40 through a metal lead.
In this embodiment, the temperature-sensitive resistor may be a positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC) or a negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC). When the IGBT chip is mounted on the mounting carrier 10, the mounting carrier 10 is provided with a pad. The IGBT die is provided with a metal layer for forming each pad of the IGBT, such as a gate pad, a collector pad, and an emitter pad, the gate pad and the emitter pad of the IGBT die may be disposed upward, the collector pad may be disposed downward, and the gate pad, the emitter pad, and the collector pad are connected to the mounting sites and pads formed by the circuit wiring layer of the mounting carrier 10 through metal binding wires. It is understood that the driving chip 40 and the power switch tube may be implemented by using a bare wafer, or may be implemented by using a packaged patch element. The temperature detecting device 30 is attached to the power switch, and specifically, may be stacked on the power chip 20 and soldered to an IGBT emitter pad by soldering, and the IGBT emitter pad is connected to the mounting carrier 10 by a lead, and then connected to a pad linked to a temperature feedback pin of the driving chip 40 by a bonding wire (metal lead), or directly connected to a pad of the temperature feedback pin of the driving chip 40. Under a certain current, the voltage of the temperature detection device 30, e.g., an NTC resistor, decreases as its own temperature increases, while the PTC is reversed. Therefore, the voltage fed back to the temperature feedback pin of the driving chip 40 also decreases as the NTC temperature increases, i.e. in practice, the NTC temperature voltage varies negatively with the IGBT junction temperature. Due to the fact that the NTC and the IGBT are welded through metal solder, the NTC temperature and the IGBT chip junction temperature are basically consistent. The driving chip 40 may determine that the voltage is lower than a certain threshold according to the voltage of the temperature feedback pin, and stop outputting the driving signal, so that the IGBT stops working, and the temperature detection and protection functions are performed.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment, the smart power module further includes:
and the current sampling resistor Rs is arranged on the mounting position of the mounting carrier 10, one end of the current sampling resistor Rs is electrically connected with the emitting electrode of the power interval through a metal lead, and the other end of the current sampling resistor Rs is grounded.
In this embodiment, the intelligent power module is further provided with circuit modules for protecting the IGBT and the motor, such as an overcurrent protection circuit and an overvoltage protection circuit, and specifically, the driving chip 40 may be provided with a voltage comparator, a reference voltage output module, and the like. The current sampling resistor Rs collects current flowing through the power chip 20, and outputs a collected current signal to the driving chip 40, the driving chip 40 judges whether the current flowing through the power chip 20 is excessive according to the collected current, for example, when the phase current of the motor is too large, if the phase current is too large, the driving motor stalls, or the motor is controlled to continue to rotate at a high speed due to inertia when the motor is stopped, the phase current Iu, Iv and Iw of the motor-driven internal winding are too large, and at the moment, the phase current flows through the power chip 20 and is collected by the current sampling resistor Rs, and the driving chip 40 outputs the driving chip 40 to control the IGBT to stop working, so that the motor is braked, and the power chip 20 is prevented from being damaged due to the overcurrent. The current sampling resistor Rs can be selected as a low-temperature drift sampling resistor, so that the problem that the output state of the voltage comparator is unstable due to interference of a sampling signal output by the current sampling resistor Rs or fluctuation close to a reference voltage value, and the protection state of the intelligent power module is unstable is solved.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment, the driving chip 40 includes a driving circuit 41 and a comparing circuit 42, a first input terminal of the comparing circuit 42 is connected to the output terminal of the temperature detecting device 30, a second input terminal of the comparing circuit 42 is connected to a preset temperature threshold, an output terminal of the comparing circuit 42 is connected to a temperature feedback terminal of the driving circuit 41, and an output terminal of the driving circuit 41 is connected to the controlled terminal of the power chip 20.
In this embodiment, the temperature detection device 30 may detect the junction temperature of the power chip 20, specifically, output a voltage signal reflecting the temperature of the power chip 20, compare the voltage signal with a preset voltage threshold, and determine whether the junction temperature of the power chip 20 is too high according to a comparison result between the detected voltage signal and the preset voltage threshold, where the temperature corresponding to the preset voltage threshold is an over-temperature protection point of the IGBT. The driving chip 40 may design logic to be a valid signal, i.e. a trigger signal, less than a certain threshold. When the logic circuit receives the valid signal, all the outputs of the driving chip 40 are turned off, so that the driving chip 40 stops working, and thus the junction temperature of the power chip 20 can be protected from exceeding the preset threshold.
It can be understood that, when the temperature detection device 30 is a ntc thermistor, the ntc thermistor is connected in series with the current sampling resistor Rs, and according to the principle of serial voltage division, the larger the ratio of the ntc thermistor to the current sampling resistor Rs, the larger the voltage divided by the ntc thermistor, and because the resistance value of the current sampling resistor Rs is smaller, the influence on the resistance value of the ntc thermistor when the ntc thermistor is connected in series can be almost ignored. Therefore, the temperature detection device 30 and the power chip 20 can be packaged into a whole, and the junction temperature of the IGBT emitter is detected, so that the junction temperature detection accuracy and the timeliness of the power chip 20 are improved.

The number of the power chips 20 may be one or multiple, and when the number of the power chips 20 is multiple, the power chips 20 may include four power chips 20, or a multiple of four power chips, or six power chips 20, or a multiple of six power chips, and the six power chips 20 form an inverter circuit, so that the power converter is applied to electrical equipment such as an inverter power supply, a frequency converter, refrigeration equipment, metallurgical mechanical equipment, electric traction equipment, and particularly to frequency conversion household appliances. When the intelligent power module works, the driving chip 40 outputs a corresponding PWM control signal to drive and control the corresponding power chip 20 to be turned on/off, so as to output driving electric energy to drive a load such as a motor to work.

The driving chip 40 may also be provided with two separate driving chips 40, namely an upper bridge arm driving chip 40 and a lower bridge arm driving chip 40, and respectively drive the upper bridge arm power chip 20 and the lower bridge arm power chip 20 to operate, and the power chips 20 and the driving chips 40 are electrically connected through metal leads to form a current loop. When the intelligent power module works, the driving chip 40 outputs a corresponding control signal to control the conduction of the corresponding power chip 20, so as to output driving electric energy to drive a motor and other loads to work, and heat generated by the power chip 20 in the process is conducted to the mounting carrier 10 through the heat sink 30, so as to be dissipated through the heat sink 30 and the mounting carrier 10.

In this embodiment, the package housing 50 may be made of epoxy resin, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, or other materials. When the package case 50 is manufactured, materials such as epoxy resin, aluminum oxide, boron nitride or aluminum nitride can be mixed, and then the mixed package material is heated; after cooling, the packaging material is crushed, and then the packaging shell 50 material is rolled and formed in a packaging mold by an ingot molding process to form the packaging shell 50, and then the driving chip 40 and the power chip 20 are packaged in the packaging shell 50.
