A kind of optical coupler
Technical field
The present invention relates to the photoelectricity element, especially photoelectrical coupler (opticalcoupler, english abbreviation are OC) is also claimed photoisolator or photoelectrical coupler, or is called for short optocoupler.
Background technology
Optical coupler is to be the device that media comes transmission of electric signals with light, is encapsulated in photophore (infrarede emitting diode chip) and light-receiving device (photosensor chip) in the same shell usually.Photophore emits beam when input adds the signal of telecommunication, and light-receiving device is accepted just to produce photoelectric current after the light, flows out from output, changes thereby realized " electricity-light-".Optocoupler mainly contains two kinds of production methods at present: the one, and reflective, the 2nd, direct-injection type.
Consult shown in Fig. 9 a and Fig. 9 b, reflective is through interior glue, and some transparent adhesive tape and white glues form ellipsoid, and the infrared light reflection that makes infrared chip emission is to the photosensor chip place, thus accomplish electric=light=electric control procedure.This technology mode can be accomplished very high dielectric voltage withstand; But shortcoming is the HFE (current amplification factor of triode) of power, photosensor chip except that infrared chip; Factor affecting CTR values such as interior some glue shape, height (the CTR value is meant the minimum value of current ratio of electric current and the receiving tube of luminous tube) have also been increased; Therefore the CTR value is difficult to accurate control, and can't accomplish very high CTR value and very short time parameter.
Consult shown in Figure 10 a and Figure 10 b; Direct-injection type is that lead frame is divided into two parts; Adorn infrared chip and photosensor chip respectively; And then fixed coupling encapsulates together, and two lead frame planes are parallel, and the slide glass district of infrared end lead frame and the slide glass district of photosensitive end lead frame are aspectant.This mode need not coat white colloid because be direct projection, and CTR is convenient to control, is convenient to accomplish high CTR value.But owing to be aspectant, count the spun gold sagitta in, the thickness of two chips, the thickness of two lead frames has reached or near 1.5mm, the insulation distance of infrared end and photosensitive end receives the restriction of optocoupler height overall, and dielectric voltage withstand can't be accomplished very high; And the required precision to lead frame is very high, and the difficulty that technology realizes is bigger.
Summary of the invention
Therefore; The present invention is directed to the weak point of these 2 kinds of optocouplers, and propose a kind of improved optical coupler structure, not only possess the good dielectric voltage withstand performance of conventional reflective optocoupler; It is high also to possess simultaneously Japanese direct-injection type optocoupler photoelectric conversion efficiency, the advantage that the CTR value is convenient to control.
The technical scheme that the present invention adopts is:
The lead frame of optical coupler is divided into infrared end lead frame and photosensitive end lead frame; The plane in the slide glass district of infrared end lead frame and photosensitive end lead frame is all vertical with lead frame, and the slide glass district of infrared end lead frame can be plane or cup-shaped, and the slide glass district of photosensitive end lead frame can be plane or cup-shaped; Infrared end lead frame is installed infrared light-emitting component; Photosensitive end lead frame is installed light-sensitive element, and infrared end lead frame and photosensitive end lead frame are fixed in same plane, and leave enough insulation distances; And the light-sensitive element light accepting part then carries out a glue and encapsulation over against the infrared light-emitting component setting.That is, cover the transparent colloid of an elliptical shape outside the slide glass district of infrared end lead frame and photosensitive end lead frame, infrared end lead frame and photosensitive end lead frame outerwrap one encapsulation shell.
Wherein, described infrared end lead frame and photosensitive end lead frame are expert at and are fixed in same plane before a glue and the encapsulation, and leave enough insulation distances, and photosensor chip to remain unchanged over against the state of infrared chip setting be to realize through moulds of industrial equipment.
Further, described light-sensitive element can be photistor, photosensitive Darlington transistor, photosensitive thyristor or photosensitive IC chip.
Optical coupler of the present invention is with the difference of existing reflective optocoupler: structurally; Existing reflective optocoupler is that infrared light-emitting component and light-sensitive element are contained on the same lead frame; Putting transparent colloid then forms the ellipsoid shape and outside transparent colloid, coats the white size body; Two photoelectric cells are in two focuses of spheroid respectively, and the infrared light of infrared light-emitting component emission converges to the light-sensitive element light receiving area through the reflection of white colloid.And the present invention is divided into two parts with lead frame, adorns infrared light-emitting component and light-sensitive element respectively, and then with two parts lead frame through frock be fixed together a transparent colloid and parcel outer package shell.The present invention structurally, infrared light-emitting component and light-sensitive element over against, therefore the infrared light overwhelming majority all can be transmitted into the light-sensitive element light accepting part, on photoelectric conversion efficiency, on response speed, all will be superior to reflective optocoupler greatly.And saved white glues colloid shape and highly to the influence of photoelectric conversion efficiency,, can improve the controllability of CTR value and the shelves rate for photistor output type optocoupler.
Optical coupler of the present invention is with the difference of existing direct-injection type optocoupler: the slide glass district of existing direct-injection type two parts lead frame is parallel with lead frame; After respectively photoelectric cell being installed; Two lead frames are fixed through the coupling of frock; Place, parallel surface opposite transparent colloid and parcel outer package shell have guaranteed that also light-sensitive element is over against infrared light-emitting component simultaneously.And the slide glass district of two parts lead frame is vertical with lead frame among the present invention, and cup-shaped can be made by the slide glass district of two parts lead frame.After respectively photoelectric cell being installed, utilize frock that two parts lead frame is fixed in same plane and light-sensitive element over against infrared light-emitting component (perpendicular to the fixed pan of lead frame) some transparent colloid and parcel outer package shell.The present invention plays the effect of optically focused owing to the design that can do a cup-shaped in the slide glass district of two parts lead frame more, and therefore more Japanese direct-injection type optocoupler can be higher on the infrared light efficiency of transmission; The present invention can be through the adjustment of lead frame; Regulate the insulation distance between two parts; The dielectric voltage withstand value can be accomplished very high, and Japanese direct-injection type optocoupler is owing to receive the restriction of space (optocoupler height overall), and the dielectric voltage withstand value can't be accomplished very high (especially for miniature optocoupler); Japanese direct-injection type is owing to exist the overlapping coupling on the level between two parts lead frame; Therefore to the precision of lead frame; The requirement of technology is all than higher, and two parts lead frame of the present invention only is to place some transparent colloid and parcel outer package shell on the same plane, does not have overlapping coupling each other; Therefore in the lead frame required precision, technology realizes all being lower than Japanese direct-injection type optocoupler on the difficulty.
To sum up, optical coupler of the present invention not only possesses the good dielectric voltage withstand performance of reflective optocoupler, and it is high also to possess direct-injection type optocoupler photoelectric conversion efficiency simultaneously, the advantage that the CTR value is convenient to control.
