Description

  The present invention relates to a filter element, and more particularly to a filter element having a plurality of winding cores.

  In recent years, the USB 2.0 standard and the IEEE 1394 standard are widely used as high-speed signal transmission interfaces, and are used in many digital devices such as personal computers and digital cameras. Unlike the single-ended transmission method that has been common for a long time, interfaces such as the USB 2.0 standard and the IEEE 1394 standard adopt a differential signal method that transmits a differential signal using a pair of signal lines.

  The differential transmission system has an excellent feature that not only the radiation electromagnetic field generated from the signal line is small compared to the single-end transmission system, but also that the differential transmission system is less susceptible to external noise. For this reason, it is easy to reduce the amplitude of the signal, and by shortening the rise time and the fall time due to the small amplitude, it becomes possible to perform signal transmission at a higher speed than the single-ended transmission method.

  FIG. 13 is a circuit diagram of a general differential transmission circuit.

  The differential transmission circuit shown in FIG. 13 includes a pair of signal lines 11 and 12, an output buffer 13 that supplies a differential signal to the signal lines 11 and 12, and an input buffer that receives a differential signal from the signal lines 11 and 12. 14. With this configuration, the input signal IN given to the output buffer 13 is transmitted to the input buffer 14 via the pair of signal lines 11 and 12, and is reproduced as the output signal OUT. Such a differential transmission circuit has a feature that the radiated electromagnetic field generated from the signal lines 11 and 12 is small as described above, but noise common to the signal lines 11 and 12 (common mode noise) is generated. When superposed, a relatively large radiated electromagnetic field is generated. In order to reduce the radiated electromagnetic field generated by the common mode noise, it is effective to insert a common mode filter 20 into the signal lines 11 and 12 as shown in FIG.

The common mode filter 20 has a characteristic that the impedance to the differential component (signal) transmitted through the signal lines 11 and 12 is low and the impedance to the in-phase component (common mode noise) is high. For this reason, by inserting the common mode filter 20 into the signal lines 11 and 12, the common mode noise transmitted through the pair of signal lines 11 and 12 can be blocked without substantially attenuating the differential signal. As the common mode filter 20, for example, an element described in Patent Document 1 is known.

  The filter characteristics of an element having such a structure vary depending on the number of winding turns and the core structure. For this reason, in order to obtain a desired filter characteristic, the method of connecting and using two same filters, or connecting and using two different types of filters can be considered. FIG. 14 is a side view schematically showing a structure of a conventional filter element 30 in which two filters 31 and 32 are connected by an adhesive material 38, and shows a state where the filter is mounted on a printed board 39.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when the conventional filter element 30 formed by connecting two filters 31 and 32 is mounted on the printed circuit board 39, there are three surfaces in contact with the printed circuit board 39. That is, the printed circuit board 39 is brought into contact with the three flange portions 41, the other flange portion 42, and the connecting portion 43. For this reason, not only the mounting stability on the printed circuit board is bad, but in some cases, the connecting portion connecting the two filters 31 and 32 may be pressed against the printed circuit board 39, causing disconnection, and the reliability is lowered. There was a problem of inviting.

  Such a problem is not limited to the filter element in which the two filters 31 and 32 are connected and integrated as in the filter element 30 shown in FIG. 14, but the pair of hooks and the connecting part are integrally molded from the beginning. The same problem occurs in the filter element. That is, this is a problem common to filter elements having a plurality of winding cores.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object thereof is to improve the reliability of a filter element having a plurality of core portions.

  The filter element according to the present invention includes first and second flange portions, a connection portion, a first core portion provided between the first flange portion and the connection portion, and the second flange. A drum core having a second core portion provided between the portion and the connecting portion, first and second terminal electrodes formed on the first flange portion, and the second The third and fourth terminal electrodes formed on the flange portion, the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes formed on the connecting portion, and the first core portion are wound around one end of each of the first and second terminal electrodes. The first and second coils are connected to the first and second terminal electrodes and the other ends thereof are connected to the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes, respectively. Are connected to the third and fourth terminal electrodes, respectively, and the other ends are connected to the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes, respectively. A terminal surface on which the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes are formed in the connecting portion, a terminal surface on which the first and second terminal electrodes are formed in the first flange portion, and It is located in the 1st and 2nd core part side rather than the plane constituted by the terminal surface in which the 3rd and 4th terminal electrodes were formed among the 2nd collar parts. And

  Thus, in the filter element according to the present invention, the terminal surface of the connecting portion is located closer to the first and second core portions than the terminal surfaces of the first and second flange portions. When placed on top, the number of surfaces in contact with the printed circuit board is only two of the terminal surfaces of the first and second collars. That is, the terminal surface of the connecting portion is not in contact with the printed board. For this reason, the mounting stability on the printed board is improved, and the connecting portion formed on the terminal surface of the connecting portion is not pressed against the printed board.

  In this invention, the said connection part contains the 1st part located in the 1st core part side, and the 2nd part located in the 2nd core part side, The 1st and 2nd It is preferable that these parts are connected. According to this, since the combination of filters becomes arbitrary, it becomes possible to produce various filter elements having various characteristics. In this case, it is preferable that a magnetic gap is provided between the first portion and the second portion. According to this, since the two filters are not magnetically coupled to each other, mutual interference between the two filters can be suppressed.

  The filter element according to the present invention is provided in contact with a surface different from the terminal surface of the first flange, a surface different from the terminal surface of the second flange, and a surface different from the terminal surface of the connecting portion. It is preferable to further include a plate-shaped core. According to this, since the closed magnetic circuit is formed in the filter element, the filter characteristics can be improved. In this case, the plate-shaped core may be divided at the connecting portion. According to this, it becomes possible to form an independent closed magnetic circuit for each of the two filters.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the first and second coils constitute a first common mode filter, and the third and fourth coils constitute a second common mode filter. If two common mode filters are connected in this way, the capacitance component contained in each common mode filter is reduced by series connection, so that the impedance against common mode noise can be increased without lowering the resonance frequency. It becomes possible. Such an effect becomes prominent when a magnetic gap is provided in the connecting portion or when the plate-like core is divided at the connecting portion.

  In the present invention, it is also preferable that the first and second coils constitute a common mode filter, and the third and fourth coils constitute a differential mode filter. According to such a configuration, as an example, it is possible to use such that high-frequency common mode noise is blocked by the common mode filter and low-frequency common mode noise is bypassed by the differential mode filter.

  Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the reliability of the filter element having two core portions.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the structure of a filter element 100 according to a preferred first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the filter element 100 according to the present embodiment is wound around a drum core 110 having a first core part 121 and a second core part 122, and the first core part 121. The first and second coils 131 and 132 and the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 wound around the second core 122 are provided.

  The drum core 110 has a first flange 111 located at one end, a second flange 112 located at the other end, and a connecting portion 150 located in the middle. The first core 121 is positioned between the first flange 111 and the connecting portion 150, and the second core 122 is positioned between the second flange 112 and the connecting portion 150. . First and second terminal electrodes 141 and 142 are formed on the first flange 111, and third and fourth terminal electrodes 143 and 144 are formed on the second flange 112. Yes. In addition, fifth and sixth terminal electrodes 145 and 146 are formed in the connecting portion 150.

  The material of the drum core 110 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a material having high magnetic permeability, such as ferrite. In the present embodiment, the drum core 110 is integrally molded.

  The first to fourth coils 131 to 134 are wiring members in which a conductor such as copper (Cu) is coated with an insulator. As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second coils 131 and 132 have one ends 131a and 132a connected to the first and second terminal electrodes 141 and 142, respectively, and the other ends 131b and 132b connected to the fifth and third terminals 131 and 142, respectively. The sixth terminal electrodes 145 and 146 are connected. Similarly, the third and fourth coils 133, 134 have one end 133a, 134a connected to the third and fourth terminal electrodes 143, 144, respectively, and the other end 133b, 134b, respectively, the fifth and sixth terminals. The electrodes 145 and 146 are connected.

  The first and second coils 131 and 132 are bifilar wound at the first core portion 121, that is, wound in parallel along each other. Similarly, the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 are bifilar wound at the second core portion 122. Therefore, the part consisting of the first and second coils 131 and 132 constitutes a first common mode filter, and the part consisting of the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 constitutes a second common mode filter. become.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the connecting portion 150 is lower in height than the first and second flange portions 111 and 112. That is, in the connecting portion 150, the terminal surface 150 a on which the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes 145 and 146 are formed has the first and second terminal electrodes 141 and 142 in the first flange 111. 1st and 2nd core part rather than the plane comprised by the terminal surface 111a and the terminal surface 112a in which the 3rd and 4th terminal electrodes 143 and 144 were formed among the 2nd collar parts 112 121, 122 side.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic side view showing a state in which the filter element 100 according to the present embodiment is mounted on a printed board.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the filter element 100 according to the present embodiment is mounted on the printed circuit board 190, the terminal surface 111 a of the first flange part 111 and the terminal surface 112 a of the second flange part 112 are supported by the printed circuit board 190. On the other hand, the terminal surface 150 a of the connecting portion 150 is in a state of floating from the printed circuit board 190. Thereby, not only the mounting stability with respect to the printed circuit board 190 is improved, but also the connecting portion formed on the terminal surface 150a of the connecting portion 150 is not pressed against the printed circuit board 190. As a result, reliability when mounted on the printed circuit board 190 can be improved.

  The filter element 100 according to the present embodiment basically functions as a common mode filter, but there are various meanings for dividing the winding core portion into two. For example, if the coil length is relatively long, and there is a request to perform the winding work in two parts, the first part can be obtained by dividing the winding part into two parts as in this embodiment. It is possible to separately perform the winding operation for the core portion 121 and the winding operation for the second core portion 122. Further, by utilizing the fact that the winding operation for the first core portion 121 and the winding operation for the second core portion 122 can be performed separately, these winding operations are performed not simultaneously but simultaneously. In this case, the work efficiency of the winding work can be increased.

  Further, in the filter element 100 according to the present embodiment, the first common mode filter configured by the portion including the first and second coils 131 and 132 and the portion including the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 are used. A certain amount of magnetic coupling is created with the second common mode filter configured. Since the degree of magnetic coupling varies depending on the material and shape of the drum core 110, it is possible to obtain desired characteristics using this.

  Next, a second preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic side view showing the structure of the filter element 200 according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, and shows a state where the filter element 200 is mounted on the printed circuit board 190.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the filter element 200 according to the present embodiment is different from the filter element 100 according to the above-described embodiment in that the connecting portion 150 is constituted by two parts, a first part 151 and a second part 152. Is different. Since the other points are the same as those of the filter element 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  The first portion 151 is located on the first core portion 121 side, the second portion 152 is located on the second core portion 122 side, and these are connected by the adhesive 201. The filter element 200 having such a configuration may be connected using the adhesive 201 after the coils are wound around the two cores before being connected in the same manner as a normal filter element. However, the connection method is not limited to the adhesive, and may be connected by other methods such as screwing.

  Thus, since the filter element 200 according to the present embodiment can be manufactured by connecting two filters, it is easy to manufacture a drum-type core. In addition, since any combination of filters is possible, various filter elements having various characteristics can be produced.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to interpose a nonmagnetic material 202 between the first portion 151 and the second portion 152. If such a non-magnetic material 202 is interposed, the first common mode filter constituted by a portion including the first and second coils 131 and 132 and the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 are formed. A magnetic gap is formed between the second common mode filter constituted by the portion. That is, the first common mode filter and the second common mode filter can be considered separately in terms of circuits.

  FIG. 5 is an equivalent circuit diagram of the filter element 200 according to an example in which the nonmagnetic material 202 is interposed between the first portion 151 and the second portion 152.

  The filter element 200 shown in FIG. 5 includes a first common mode filter F1 including a portion including first and second coils 131 and 132, and a portion including third and fourth coils 133 and 134. The second common mode filter F2 is provided, and these two common mode filters F1 and F2 include the first and second terminal electrodes 141 and 142, the third and fourth terminal electrodes 143 and 144, and Are connected in series.

  These two common mode filters F1 and F2 are circuits that function as a common mode filter independently. That is, the filter element 200 has a configuration in which two common mode filters are internally connected in series. Therefore, the resonance characteristics of the filter element 200 may be considered as a circuit in which two LCR resonance circuits are connected in series as shown in FIG.

  As is well known, the resonance frequency Fc1 of the LCR resonance circuit is expressed by the following equation (1).

  Therefore, considering the resonance frequency Fc2 of the circuit shown in FIG. 6, the inductance component L is doubled by series connection, and the capacitance component C is halved by series connection. For this reason, the resonance frequency Fc2 of the circuit shown in FIG. 6 can be expressed by the following equation (2), and its value matches the resonance frequency Fc1 shown in equation (1).

  As described above, since the inductance component L is doubled, the impedance for the in-phase component (common mode noise) is greatly increased, but the resonance frequency is not substantially lowered. That is, the impedance to the common mode noise can be increased while fixing the resonance frequency to a desired frequency band.

  In addition, unlike the case where two common mode filters are connected in series on a printed circuit board, there is no variation in characteristics due to the connection distance or connection pattern between the common mode filters, so that desired characteristics can be obtained. .

  Next, a preferred third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic side view showing the structure of the filter element 300 according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, and shows a state where the filter element 300 is mounted on the printed circuit board 190.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the filter element 300 according to the present embodiment is provided in contact with the upper surface 111 b of the first flange portion 111, the upper surface 112 b of the second flange portion 112, and the upper surface 150 b of the connecting portion 150. In the point provided with the plate-shaped core 301, it differs from the filter element 100 by the said embodiment. Since the other points are the same as those of the filter element 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  The material of the plate-shaped core 301 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a material with high magnetic permeability, such as ferrite, as with the drum core 110. If such a plate-shaped core 301 is provided, a closed magnetic circuit is formed in the filter element 300, so that the filter characteristics can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the plate-like core may be divided at the connecting portion 150. According to this, the 1st common mode filter comprised by the part which consists of the 1st and 2nd coils 131,132, and the 2nd constituted by the part which consists of the 3rd and 4th coils 133,134 Since the common mode filter forms an independent closed magnetic circuit, an even greater attenuation can be obtained. In this case, as in the filter element 200 shown in FIG. 4, if the coupling part 150 is divided into two parts and the non-magnetic material 202 is interposed therebetween, the mutual interference between the two filters is almost eliminated. An almost completely independent closed magnetic circuit can be formed.

  Next, a preferred fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic perspective view showing the structure of a filter element 400 according to a preferred fourth embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the filter element 400 according to the present embodiment, the structure of the second core portion 122 and the winding method of the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 wound around the second core portion 122 are described above. This is different from the filter element 100. Since the other points are the same as those of the filter element 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  More specifically, when viewed from the arrow A shown in FIG. 9, the third coil 133 is wound clockwise (clockwise) from the one end 133a to the other end 133b, The coil 134 is wound counterclockwise (counterclockwise) from one end 134a to the other end 134b. In other words, the winding direction of the third coil 133 starting from the third terminal electrode 143 and the winding direction of the fourth coil 134 starting from the fourth terminal electrode 144 are opposite to each other. It has become.

  Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the first and second coils 131 and 132 constitute a common mode filter, while the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 constitute a differential mode filter.

  The winding directions of the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 are not particularly limited as long as they are opposite to each other. Therefore, the directions are opposite to the above, that is, the third coil 133 is counterclockwise. (Counterclockwise) and the fourth coil 134 may be clockwise (clockwise).

  In the present embodiment, every time the third and fourth coils 133, 134 make a round of the second core portion 122, the third and fourth coils 133, 133 are formed on the upper surface 122 a of the second core portion 122. 134 intersects once, and the third and fourth coils 133, 134 intersect once on the lower surface (not shown) of the second core 122. The groove 401 is provided in the second core portion 122, and the lower coil of the two intersecting coils (the third coil 133 on the upper surface 122a of the second core portion 122) is: The groove 401 is accommodated. This is to prevent the coils from contacting each other at the intersecting portion and to improve the reliability of the product.

  An equivalent circuit of the filter element 400 according to the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. 10, and includes a common mode filter F <b> 1 configured by a portion including the first and second coils 131 and 132, and the third and fourth coils. The differential mode filter F3 configured by the parts 133 and 134 is connected in series. However, when a magnetic gap is not provided in the connecting portion 150, a certain amount of magnetic coupling occurs between the common mode filter F1 and the differential mode filter F3. Therefore, when it is necessary to eliminate mutual interference, the connecting portion 150 is used. A magnetic gap may be provided (see FIG. 4), or a plate-like core divided at the connecting portion 150 may be provided (see FIG. 8).

  The filter element 400 according to the present embodiment having such a configuration can have several preferable usage forms.

  FIG. 11 is a circuit diagram showing an example of a preferred usage pattern of the filter element 400 according to the present embodiment.

  11, the pair of signal lines 11a and 12a on the input side are connected to the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes 145 and 146, and the pair of signal lines 11b and 12b on the output side are connected to the first and In this method, the third and fourth terminal electrodes 143 and 144 are connected to the second terminal electrodes 141 and 142 and grounded. When the filter element 400 is mounted on a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board and the connecting portion 150 are separated from each other. Therefore, the connection between the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes 145 and 146 and the signal lines 11a and 12a is performed. It is necessary to carry out in a separated state using the wettability of solder.

  The common mode filter F1 configured by the portion including the first and second coils 131 and 132 has a characteristic that the impedance to the differential component (signal) is low and the impedance to the in-phase component (common mode noise) is high. ing. On the other hand, the differential mode filter F3 configured by the portion including the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 has a high impedance for the differential component (signal) and a low impedance for the in-phase component (common mode noise). It has characteristics.

  Therefore, if the connection as shown in FIG. 11 is performed, the differential signal is transmitted from the pair of signal lines 11a and 12a on the input side to the pair of signal lines 11b and 12b on the output side using the output buffer 13. Then, the common mode noise superimposed on the differential signal is blocked by the common mode filter F1, or bypassed to the ground by the differential mode filter F3. Thereby, the common mode noise is removed without being transmitted to the input buffer 14.

  Moreover, the common mode filter F1 has a frequency characteristic that the impedance to the in-phase component becomes higher as the frequency becomes higher, while the differential mode filter F3 has a frequency characteristic that the impedance to the in-phase component becomes lower as the frequency becomes lower. Therefore, the common mode noise in the high band is blocked by the common mode filter F1, and the common mode noise in the low band is bypassed by the differential mode filter F3. Can be effectively removed.

  FIG. 12 is a circuit diagram showing another example of a preferred usage pattern of the filter element 400 according to the present embodiment.

  12, the pair of signal lines 11a and 12a on the input side are connected to the first and second terminal electrodes 141 and 142, and the pair of signal lines 11b and 12b on the output side are third and This is a method of connecting to the fourth terminal electrodes 143 and 144. The fifth and sixth terminal electrodes 145 and 146 are not used.

  The capacitive elements C1 and C2 connected to the pair of signal lines 11b and 12b on the output side are capacitive elements such as varistors and Zener diodes which are countermeasure parts against ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). The reason why such capacitive elements C1 and C2 are necessary is that the structure of the IC itself is becoming vulnerable to ESD in order to achieve high speed in a high-speed interface such as HDMI.

  However, when capacitive elements C1 and C2 as ESD countermeasure components are inserted into a transmission line, there is a problem that a signal transmitted through the transmission line, particularly a high-frequency (200 MHz or higher) or high-speed pulse signal is reflected and attenuated. There is. This is because the characteristic impedance at the position where the capacitive elements C1 and C2 are inserted decreases due to the capacitive components of the capacitive elements C1 and C2, and as a result, impedance mismatch occurs at the positions. In such a case, since the high frequency component of the signal is reflected at the mismatched portion of the characteristic impedance, a return loss occurs and the signal is greatly attenuated. In addition, unnecessary radiation may be generated in the transmission line due to reflection, which may cause noise.

  However, when the differential mode filter F3 is inserted in series in the subsequent stage of the common mode filter F1 as in the circuit shown in FIG. 12, a decrease in characteristic impedance due to the capacitive elements C1 and C2 is greatly suppressed. In addition, since the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 are magnetically coupled to each other and the winding directions of the third and fourth coils 133 and 134 are opposite to each other, they are magnetically coupled. A sufficient inductance value can be secured with a smaller number of turns than in the case where the number of turns is not.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Needless to say, it is included in the range.

  For example, in each of the above embodiments, the filter element having two core parts 121 and 122 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and has three or more core parts. It can also be applied to filter elements. In this case, since two or more connecting portions exist, these heights may be set lower than those of the first and second flange portions.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the number of turns of the first and second coils 131 and 132 wound around the first core portion 121, and the third and the number of turns wound around the second core portion 122. The number of turns of the fourth coils 133 and 134 is the same, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the selection of the filter formed on the first core part 121 and the filter formed on the second core part 122 is arbitrary.
