[0038] In order to make the purpose of the present application, the technical solution and advantages more clear, the following will be combined with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings of the technical solution of the application is clearly and completely described. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without doing creative labor, are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] The following in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the technical solution provided by each embodiment of the present application.
[0040] The present invention provides a CHIP packaging scheme for a chip atomic clock dedicated servo control chip, and designed a test method suitable for the SIP chip.
[0041] The technical embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0042] SIP is a new packaging technology based on system minimization, which packs multiple IC dies and possible passive components in the same substrate to form a standardized chip with a system-based function, and is a semiconductor technology that can achieve system-on-chip integration. This scheme is based on SIP package design technology for chip atomic clock special servo control chip packaging design, in which the MCU, op amp, gate, DAC, inverter and switch and other bare chips are integrated, to achieve the physical system signal acquisition and processing, drive control, physical system temperature signal acquisition and processing, temperature control and drive current generation and other functions.
[0043] Servo control circuit block diagram is attached Figure 1 As shown, the configuration circuits in the figure are placed outside the chip, and the rest is packaged inside the chip. All of the configuration circuits shown in the figure consist of capacitors, resistors, and inductors, which can be easily adjusted by placing them outside the chip. Specifically, by adjusting the first configuration circuit can adjust the amplitude of the photometric signal; adjusting the second configuration circuit can change the laser driving voltage; adjusting the third configuration circuit, the fourth configuration circuit can change the physical system and laser temperature control coefficient, affecting the temperature control accuracy; adjusting the fifth configuration circuit can change the radio frequency signal amplitude. Because the operating temperature point of each physical system and laser is different, and the driving voltage of the laser and the power intensity of the RF signal need to be adjusted according to the debugging phenomenon when it is combined with the physical system, and these adjustments can be achieved by changing the parameters of the corresponding configuration circuit. Such a packaging method is mainly to package the bare core of the core device and the inherent configuration circuit of the device, and the configuration circuit part to be adjusted during the debugging process is placed outside the chip, which can cure the inherent core circuit design to the greatest extent, and at the same time has a stronger universality than the scheme of all circuits being packaged inside the chip.
[0044] Figure 2 Block diagrams of specific SIP are given, such as Figure 2 As shown, the architecture and functions of the dedicated servo control chip for the atomic clock of the chip are further described as follows:
[0045] Photometric signal acquisition circuit: The circuit scheme first preprocesses the photoelectric signal of the input signal of the two frequencies, and then acquires the high-precision ADC, and sends the acquired digital amount to the MCU microcontroller for data processing.
[0046] VCSEL laser drive circuit and crystal oscillator drive circuit: The MCU will calculate the feedback output, control two high-precision DACs, and the outputs of the two DACs are connected to the voltage control end of the crystal oscillator and the control end of the VCSEL drive circuit respectively, to complete the laser frequency locking and microwave frequency locking.
[0047] Temperature acquisition circuit of physical system: The temperature of the physical system also needs to be controlled by the MCU microcontroller. The temperature of the laser and the absorber bubble is converted to a voltage signal by the temperature sensor, which is acquired by two ADCs and input to the MCU microcontroller for PID data processing.
[0048] Drive circuit of temperature-controlled heating: The MCU is heated by the heating control amount obtained by the PID algorithm, and the TEC of the VCSEL and the power tube of the absorbing bubble are heated by two DAC feedbacks.
[0049] Control circuit of uniform magnetic field: The MCU outputs accurate values to the DAC, controls the magnetic field synthesis circuit, and generates a constant magnetic field with high accuracy.
[0050] The present invention adopts SIP integration technology, in the chip design process mainly follows the principle of the main core chip and the inherent configuration circuit in the integrated module, the part of the configuration circuit that needs to adjust the parameters is external to the SIP chip, in order to enhance the adjustability of the overall function of the chip, and the compatibility and applicability of different physical systems.
