Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chip life test systems, and in particular relates to a miniaturized test system and method for the life of a radio frequency switch chip. Background Art
[0002] The lifespan of an RF switch is a key indicator of an RF switch chip. It measures the total number of switching cycles it can complete before failure while meeting RF and repeatability requirements. RF switch lifespan testing is primarily divided into two categories: cold switching lifespan, measured by applying a DC signal to the RF switch chip, and hot switching lifespan, measured by applying an RF signal to the RF switch chip. Both tests examine the power amplitude (envelope) of the RF switch drive signal and the input and output RF signals to characterize the switch's on and off states.
[0003] There are two main methods for testing the lifespan of RF switch chips. One is to measure the DC resistance of the RF switch chip in both the on (ON) and off (OFF) states. Ideally, the DC resistance in the OFF state should be infinite, and in the ON state it should be less than its characteristic DC resistance, typically a few ohms. If the DC resistance of the RF switch chip is too small in the OFF state or too large in the ON state, it can be inferred that the RF switch chip has failed, thereby determining the switch lifespan. The other method uses an envelope detector to convert the RF signal power into a voltage signal, which is then detected and analyzed. Based on these two methods, current systems for testing the lifespan of RF switch chips are also mainly divided into two types. One relies entirely on various test instruments, such as voltage sources, RF signal sources, voltage amplifiers, probe stations, oscilloscopes, and other expensive and bulky traditional laboratory test instruments. The RF switch lifespan is calculated manually by manually recording test data, and the tester then writes a handwritten test report. The other is that with the emergence of computers, various irreplaceable advantages of virtual instruments are utilized to write control programs, and the test instruments are assisted in controlling through serial ports or remote programs. The host computer calculates the life, outputs the test results, and prints the test report.
[0004] The problem with life testing methods that rely entirely on various test instruments is the cost of testing. Various instruments are expensive, the test wiring is complex, and the requirements for testers are high.
[0005] Although the system built with virtual instruments to assist testing has improved testing efficiency to a certain extent, it still cannot solve the problem of high testing costs. At the same time, both methods cannot get rid of the limitation of only being able to test in a laboratory environment. Summary of the Invention

[0045] In this embodiment, in order to realize the test, the RF switch chip 3 is placed on the RF switch fixture 4, the output end of the RF signal generating module 5 is connected to the signal input end of the RF switch chip 3 through the RF switch fixture 4, the driving signal generating module 2 is connected to the data processing module 7, the output end of the driving signal generating module 2 is connected to the driving input end of the RF switch chip 3 through the RF switch fixture 4, the output end of the RF switch chip 3 is connected to the input end of the RF detection module 6 through the RF switch fixture 4, the output end of the RF detection module 6 is connected to the data processing module 7, and the output end of the data processing module 7 is connected to the host computer 8.
[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drive signal generation module 2 is required to output a control signal at an adjustable voltage and frequency to the RF switch chip 3 under test to control its on / off state. In the on state, the RF signal generation module 5 is required to output a transmission signal at an adjustable frequency and power to the RF switch chip 3 under test. The RF detection module 6 performs envelope detection on the transmission signal passing through the RF switch chip 3 and outputs the envelope signal to the data processing module 7.

[0047] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the system power supply module 1 includes a boost circuit power supply 101 for supplying power to the boost circuit 201; a power field effect transistor drive circuit power supply 102 for supplying power to the power field effect transistor drive circuit 202; a radio frequency signal generating module power supply 103 for supplying power to the radio frequency signal generating module 5; a radio frequency detection module power supply 104 for supplying power to the radio frequency detection module 6; a data processing module power supply 105 for supplying power to the data processing module 7; and a host computer power supply 106 for supplying power to the host computer 8.
[0048] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, boost circuit 201 pumps the DC voltage output by boost circuit power supply 101 into a DC high voltage and outputs it to voltage regulator circuit 204. Power field effect transistor driver circuit 202 outputs a frequency-adjustable square wave signal that is input to the gate of power field effect transistor 203 to drive it into operation, utilizing the switching characteristics between the source and drain to perform waveform modulation. Voltage regulator circuit 204 stabilizes and regulates the amplitude of the DC high voltage signal output by boost circuit 201 and outputs it to power field effect transistor 203.

The counter is incremented by one each time the RF switch chip 3 undergoes a hot switch.
[0050] Furthermore, if the cold switching life of the RF switch chip 3 is tested, the DC low-voltage signal passes through the RF switch chip 3 and then passes through the current limiting protection resistor 10 and is output to the data acquisition circuit, the high-pass filter circuit is turned off, and the low-pass filter circuit 302 filters out the high-frequency signal in the drive signal output by the drive signal generating module 2, retains the DC low-frequency signal of the DC signal generating module 9, obtains a third filtered signal, and outputs the filtered signal to the data acquisition circuit 303. The data acquisition circuit for real-time acquisition of the signal 303 is divided into two channels, namely the first channel and the second channel. The first channel collects the DC low-frequency signal output by the current limiting protection resistor 10 in real time. The second channel collects the third filtered signal in real time, converts the collected analog voltage signal into a fourth digital signal, and outputs the digital signal to the signal detection and calculation circuit 304. The detection and calculation circuit detects and calculates the two input digital signals. According to the parameters of the preset signal, when it is detected that the third digital signal and the fourth digital signal change from a low level to a high level and from a high level to a low level in sequence, it is determined that the RF switch chip 3 has experienced a cold switching, that is, the counter is incremented by one after each cold switching of the RF switch chip 3.
[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the host computer 8 displays the signal processed by the data processing module 7 in real time, outputs the test results and prints a test report.
