Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to an insulated transmission device using an electromagnetic resonance coupler.
- An example of such an application is a gate drive circuit of a power device that switches a voltage on the order of several hundred volts to several kV.
- the primary side of the several V system used in the gate drive circuit and the secondary side that handles power of several hundred V or more are electrically cut off to secure the insulation between the primary side and the secondary side.
- it is also required to block the influence of noise generated when switching the large power on the secondary side.
- insulated gate drivers Elements used in gate drive circuits that ensure insulation in this way are generally called insulated gate drivers, and are the main application examples of insulated signal / power transmission devices, which is the technical field of the present application.
- insulated gate drivers There are several methods for insulated gate drivers, but the most commonly used method is an insulated transmission method using light called a photocoupler.
- Photocouplers are widely used because they can easily achieve electrical insulation by light, can relatively increase the insulation distance, and are low in cost.

- photocouplers While photocouplers have the characteristic of being able to increase the insulation distance, they also have problems such as deterioration over time and the possibility of isolated transmission of signals only, making it difficult to transmit power.
- Such a method using inductive coupling or capacitive coupling does not have a problem of aging deterioration of an optical element like a photocoupler, has a long life, and in an inductive coupling method, not only a signal but also power can be transmitted. Insulated transmission devices of body type have also been reported, and it is possible to realize miniaturization of an insulated gate driver.

It is a difficult method to secure an insulation distance of 0.4 mm or more that meets the above-mentioned reinforced insulation specifications, and in order to increase the insulation distance, the size of the coil and capacitor must be increased, which is a characteristic of the small size. Cannot maintain the conversion.

- the coupler is an integrated type. That is, the coupler is composed of a laminated structure of dielectric layers in which the electrode structure is patterned by a printed circuit board (PCB), and insulation is maintained by a part of the layer thickness.
- PCB printed circuit board
- the coupler is mounted on either the primary side lead frame or the secondary side lead frame, and the frame that is not mounted is It is generally electrically connected by wire bonding.
- the integrated coupler is mounted so as to straddle both lead frames.
- the reliability is evaluated while changing the temperature / humidity conditions multiple times by a temperature cycle test or the like, but there is a concern that problems may remain in such a test.
- Patent Document 2 discloses the structure of an insulated transmission device in which the primary side and the secondary side are completely separated by using an inductive coupling method.

- the structure is such that the primary and secondary coils face each other in the vertical direction, and each coil cannot be mounted on the same surface of the primary and secondary lead frames.
- the package structure becomes complicated, the assembly method becomes sophisticated, and there is a concern that the cost will increase.
