Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multilayer planar inductor according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing such a multilayer planar inductor.
- planar inductors are used, for example, in switched-mode power supplies, voltage converters or other devices in power electronics which are implemented on the basis of a multilayer carrier plate (so-called “multilayer” or “multilayer printed circuit board”) which has a plurality of conductor layers which are electrically insulated from one another.
- multilayer carrier plate so-called “multilayer” or “multilayer printed circuit board”
- such a multilayer has, in addition to electronic components for the switching electronics, which are connected in a suitable manner by one or more conductor tracks of the multilayer, inductors such as transformers or chokes, for which (superimposed) conductor layers of the multilayer the functions of the windings - i.e., for example the primary or secondary winding of a transformer - for this purpose, a transformer core is inserted in a suitable manner through a break in the multilayer, which then forms the desired transformer together with the windings formed on the conductor layers of the multilayer.
- inductors such as transformers or chokes
- CONFIRMATION COPIF 6 shows the prior art in the sectional side view of the structure of such a generic planar inductor:
- a schematically shown transformer core 74 is mounted on a partial area of a multilayer 70 which forms the planar inductance and has a plurality of electrically conductive conductor layers.
- the transformer core 74 which is approximately E-shaped in the lateral cross section, extends through with legs not shown in the figure appropriately sized openings of the multilayer 70 extends.
- the line layers form a corresponding primary or secondary winding, so that, in the manner shown, the inductance is embedded directly in the peripheral electronics schematically indicated with the further electronic components 76 or is connected to this via corresponding line layers 72.
- one or more planar inductors can be implemented on or in a multilayer in this way, although the inductors usually only occupy a rather small part of the multilayer surface or assembly area.
- the second multilayer provided in the partial area which is preferably also limited in its dimensions to this area, advantageously enables the flexible, variable addition of additional line layers and thus inductance windings to the first line layers already present in the base multilayer (the first plate-shaped carrier), so that the inductance required for a respective product variant can be produced with little effort by appropriate placement and formation of one or more locally restricted multilayers without, for example, for this variant a special, separate multilayer complete design must be provided.
- the expensive multilayer material is optimally used.
- the invention advantageously makes it possible to develop a production system which is suitable for a large number of variants and which contains cross-variant components on the first, plate-shaped carrier, while variant-specific components — in addition to additional windings and possibly additional, specifically required peripheral electronics - Are included on the additional carrier (s). Design effort and warehousing for a large number of variants are drastically reduced.
- the invention is also particularly suitable when the planar inductance is used as a transformer, since primary and secondary windings can be directly assigned to the line layers of the second or first carrier, and the winding ratio can thus be influenced directly, depending on the specification.
- the present invention creates a flexibly usable planar inductance system which, on the basis of the advantageous multilayer technology, creates the possibility of extensive manufacturing and logistics optimization.
- FIG. 2 shows a partial plan view of a planar inductance of the representation according to FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 a partially sectioned side view of the multilayer planar inductance according to FIG. 2 and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention (best mode);
- FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the invention with multilayer pieces clamped on both sides of the basic multilayer to form the planar inductance
- FIG. 6 shows a side sectional view of a conventional multilayer planar inductance to explain the prior art.
- a multilayer card 10 for example in the outer format of a European map, carries a pair of planar inductors in the form of planar transformers 12, which are arranged in the center of the card 10 and occupy approximately 20% of the card surface.
- Each planar transformer 12 is implemented electrically by means of a secondary winding, which are provided by line layers 14 of the multilayer card 10 (base multilayer), and by a primary winding, which are provided by line layers 16 and 18 of a first or, respectively, provided on both sides of the base multilayer.
- second additional multi-layer pieces 20 and 22 are provided.
- the conductor layers 14 to 18 are penetrated by a transformer core 24 with a lateral cross section (cf. plan view of FIG. 2), with its legs reaching through the layered multilayer arrangement 20-10-22.
- edge-side recesses 26 and a central recess 28 are formed, which are aligned with openings 30 of the base multilayer 10, so that the (in the illustration in FIG. 2, downwards into the Legs of the transformer core 24 directed into the plane of the drawing reach through all three multilayer layers and can be connected on the base side by a correspondingly assigned core element, not shown in the figures.
- An electrical connection to the further electronic components 32 on the multilayer card 10 takes place through the line layers 14 of the base multilayer or the further line layers 16, 18 of the multilayer pieces 20, 22, so that the planar inductance takes place in the otherwise known manner can be included in the circuit structure.
- the additional multilayer pieces 20, 22 extend over a partial section of the multilayer card 10 (on both sides thereof), the additional pieces 20, 22 using only one small gap 34 (see FIG. 3) on the Base card 10 lie on it, are connected to it by additional adhesive connections 36, and a layered arrangement of a plurality of parallel line arrangements is thus created: in the example assumed that the base multilayer has four line layers and the additional multilayer pieces 20, 22 each have five lines In the area of planar inductance, a stratification of fourteen conductor layers arises, which is only insignificantly deteriorated in terms of its electrical or mechanical properties compared to a single, fourteen-layer multilayer, but only requires a fraction of the procurement or production costs.
- the invention also not in the one or two-sided arrangement of additional multilayer pieces shown in the figures is limited, but rather any suitable number of stacked multilayer pieces (one or two sides) can be attached.
- the multilayer pieces 20, 22 are each provided in the area of their narrow edges with a pair of lateral recesses 38, which are realized as peripheral millings and are metallized in this area.
- the metallization also extends over an edge-side region of the upper or lower surface of a respective multilayer piece.
- multilayer pieces 20, 22 are now fastened by means of suitably applied soldering or welding points 40 in the area of the metallized cutouts 38, as a result of which the respective plate element is used for automated loading.
- piece and attachment (such as SMD) can be set appropriately on corresponding, metallized attachment points 42 of the base plate 10.
- the resulting arrangement which can be seen particularly well from the sectional view in FIG. 3, is then mechanically stable and keeps the individual line layers as close as possible to one another, so that only extremely small scattering losses can be assumed in the case of the resulting planar inductance.
- 4 and 5 show alternative possibilities, according to the invention, for attaching one or more additional multilayer pieces to a multilayer base card 10 in the area of the planar inductance and for the variable configuration thereof.
- an additional multilayer piece 44 is connected to the base card 10 by means of a clip element 46, which in turn attacks at four points according to FIG. 2, the clip elements 46 being inserted into corresponding receiving openings 48 in the base card 10 and there by means of a soldered connection or the like. are set.
- each on the bottom side on fastening surfaces 52 of the base multilayer 10 are soldered, this flexible mounting option is created.
- the respective individual elements 50 can also be formed in the form of profiles which extend over a respective edge length of the multilayer pieces 54 shown.
- a multilayer as the base plate, which has at least two line layers; Usually a practically usable multilayer will have about six line layers. Then, in a suitable manner and depending on the winding requirements, multilayer pieces are attached in the area of the inductance to be formed, which correspond to the required number of windings or the required winding ratio.
- the secondary winding was preferably assigned to the base plate, since this often requires fewer windings, a reversal or other configuration is of course also possible, depending on the application, for example using line layers of the base plate as the primary winding.
- the present invention is also not limited to the described fastening and contacting options for the additional multilayer plate (s) to be fitted; For example, it could also be appropriate to provide contacting and fastening methods known from hybrid technology, for example in the form of a connecting comb. In addition or as an alternative, it appears possible to produce targeted electrical contacts between a line of an attached, additional multilayer and a contact point on the base plate by bonding or a comparable connection method.
- the result is a device or a method which, according to the invention, complements the advantages of multilayer technology with regard to compactness, reproducibility in production and mechanical resilience by the possibility of a multilayer which can be configured in a simple and flexible manner -Training planar inductance without the base multilayer on which it is based, for example, having to be specially designed for this purpose.
