Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit board with an arrangement for cooling power components, the circuit board having at least one conductive layer for supplying signals and/or current to the active and other components installed on the circuit board, a primary cooling layer, and insulation material insulating the conductive layers and the primary cooling layer from each other and binding the circuit board, whereby one or more heat-generating power components having substantially the same electric potential are in thermal and electrical contact with the primary cooling layer in order to cool the heat- generating power components on the circuit board.
- Cooling in itself is an old and known problem.
- electronics for instance, its significance has continuously grown with the increase in integration densities and power, because all electronic components generate heat whose dissipation is necessary for optimum and reliable operation of the components.
- electronics continuously moves towards using higher and higher power in smaller and smaller volume, the temperature control of electronic components has become a conclusive criterion in design.
- Many of today's electronic equipment require cooling which cannot be achieved by conventional metal cooling fins.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a circuit board characterized in that it has at least one secondary cooling layer which is galvanically insulated from the primary cooling layer and that one or more heat-generating power components having substantially the same electric potential are in thermal and electrical contact with the secondary cooling layer in order to cool the heat-generating power components on the circuit board.
- the invention is based on the idea that one or more heat- generating power components having the same electric potential are attached to a primary cooling layer which is galvanically insulated from a secondary cooling layer to which one or more heat-generating power components having the same electric potential are attached, which results in that one power component cannot conduct current to another power component having a different electric potential.
- a preferred embodiment of the circuit board of the invention provides the advantage that since the surface area of the primary cooling layer substantially corresponds to the surface area of the circuit board, cooling is efficient, because one component to be cooled can have a cooling layer of the size of the circuit board.
- the circuit board of the invention provides the further advantage that it can be made of any ordinary, inexpensive circuit board material, such as copper metal, glass fibre and epoxy, making the manufacturing costs of the circuit board low.
- Figure 1 is a side-view schematic of a six-layer circuit board, the circuit board having a primary cooling layer and one secondary cooling layer,
- Figure 2 is a side-view schematic of a six-layer circuit board, the circuit board having a primary cooling layer and one secondary cooling layer
- Figure 3 is a side-view schematic of an eight-layer circuit board, the circuit board having a primary cooling layer and three secondary cooling layers
- Figure 4 is a side-view schematic of an eight-layer circuit board, the circuit board having a primary cooling layer and three secondary cooling layers.
- Figures 1 to 4 show schematics of circuit boards with an arrangement for cooling heat-generating power components 1.
- the circuit board has at least one conductive layer 2 for supplying signals and/or current to the power components 1 and other components (not shown) installed on the circuit board, and one primary cooling layer 3.
- the number of conductive layers 2 depends, for instance, on the purpose of use of the circuit board.
- One or more heat-generating power components 1 having substantially the same electric potential are in thermal and electrical contact with the primary cooling layer 3 in order to cool the heat-generating power components 1 on the circuit board.
- an power component 1 refers to a component whose operation generates so much thermal energy that cooling is required.
- the circuit board is layered which means that it is made of several layers having substantially the same surface area.
- the thickness of the layers may vary from one layer to another.
- the circuit board has an insulating material 4 which insulates the conductive layers 2 and the primary cooling layer 3 from each other and binds the circuit board. With a thin insulating layer, the thermal resistance between two conducting layers or one conducting layer and one cooling layer is smaller.
- the circuit board also has at least one secondary cooling layer 5 which is galvanically insulated from the primary cooling layer 3.
- One or more heat-generating power components 1 having substantially the same electric potential are in thermal and electrical contact with the secondary cooling layer 5 in order to cool the heat-generating power components 1 on the circuit board.
- the insulating material 4 preferably insulates the primary cooling layer 3 from the secondary cooling layer 5.
- circuit board has a primary cooling layer 3 and one secondary cooling layer 5, for instance, as in Figures 1 and 2, two heat-generating power components 1 having a different electric potential or two groups of power components formed by heat-generating power components 1 having substantially the same electric potential can thus be cooled without the power components 1 having different electric potentials conducting current to each other.
- the circuit boards in Figures 3 and 4 comprise a primary cooling layer 3 and three secondary cooling layers 5. The arrangements in Figures 3 and 4 can thus cool four heat-generating power components 1 having different electric potentials or four groups of power components formed by heat- generating power components 1 having substantially the same electric potential without the power components 1 having different electric potentials conducting current to each other.
- the thickness of the conductive layers 2 can be 60 to 110 ⁇ m, for instance, and that of the cooling layers 3 and 5 can be 100 to 200 ⁇ m, for instance.
- the primary cooling layer 3 and the secondary cooling layers 5 are preferably made of copper metal. Alternatively these can be made of another material with a good heat transmission property.
- the layers 3 and 5 can also be used for supplying signals and/or current.
- the insulating material 4 preferably comprises epoxy and glass fibre. Alternatively, these layers can be made of some other insulating material binding the cooling layers 3 and 5 and the conductive layers 2 together.
- the conductive layers 2 are preferably made of copper metal. Alternatively, these layers can be made of another electrically conductive material.
- the circuit board preferably comprises first heat transmission elements 6 which are arranged to transmit thermal energy from the heat- generating power component 1 to the primary cooling layer 3 and/or the secondary cooling layer 5.
- the heat transmission elements can be lead- throughs.
- the first heat transmission elements 6 are made of first dummy holes which are between the surface of the circuit board and the primary cooling layer 3 and arranged to transmit thermal energy from the heat- generating power component 1 to the primary cooling layer, and of such first dummy holes which are between the surface of the circuit board and the secondary cooling layer 5 and arranged to transmit thermal energy from the heat-generating power component 1 to the secondary cooling layer 5.
- the circuit board preferably has second heat transmission elements 7 which are arranged to transmit thermal energy from the primary cooling layer 3 and/or the secondary cooling layer 5 to the surrounding area.
- Figure 2 shows a circuit board whose first heat transmission elements 6 and second heat transmission elements 7 are combined so that the first dummy holes and the second dummy holes form a unified structure running through the circuit board.
- the first dummy holes and the second dummy holes are preferably at least partly filled with the insulating material 4.
- the primary cooling layer 3 and/or one secondary cooling layer 5 can form a part of the circuit board surface so that the heat- generating power component 1 is attached directly to the surface of the primary cooling layer 3 and/or one secondary cooling layer 5.
- the primary cooling layer 3 and the secondary cooling layers 5 can be made up of the windings of an inductive component integrated to the circuit board.
- the primary cooling layer 3 and the secondary cooling layers 5 can form the winding of an inductive component.
