[0063] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for testing the dynamic on-resistance of a power device. Please refer to Figure 1 , and the test method includes the following steps:
[0064] S100, setting the power device to be tested in different test environments;
[0065] S200, connecting the power device to be tested to a dynamic on-resistance test circuit under different test environments;
[0066] S300, determining the dynamic on-voltage and dynamic on-current of the power device to be tested in the on-state based on the dynamic on-resistance test circuit;
[0067] The S400 calculates and determines the dynamic on-resistance under different test environments based on the dynamic on-voltage and dynamic on-current measured each time.
[0068] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The solution adopted in this embodiment is to place the power device to be tested in different test environments; in different test environments, the power device to be tested is connected to the dynamic on-resistance test circuit; based on the dynamic on-resistance test circuit, the dynamic on-voltage and dynamic on-current of the power device to be tested in the on-state are determined; based on the dynamic on-voltage and dynamic on-current measured each time, the dynamic on-resistance under different test environments is calculated and determined.
[0069] The parameters involved in the test environment include: temperature and humidity. In specific cases, it may happen that the power device is set in the outdoor low temperature environment. At this temperature, it is also necessary to predict the resistance change of the power device.
[0070] Therefore, this embodiment can test the change of the dynamic on-resistance value of the power device at different switching frequencies, and the measured resistance value has higher accuracy, and the anti-interference ability is further improved.
[0071] Specifically, this embodiment mainly involves five modules. Module ① is the input of the Vds voltage of the power device to be tested, which can adjust the on-resistance of the device under different voltages. Module ② is an inductor, which is connected to the Vds voltage input and adjusts the magnitude of the Ids current of the device through the inductance value. Module ③ is the power device to be tested; Module ④ is the input of the PWM signal, and by inputting the Gate Driver (gate drive) signal at different frequencies, the on-resistance of the device at different frequencies can be tested. Module ⑤ is the voltage clamping circuit when the power device to be tested is conducting.
[0072] The test principle of this embodiment is as follows: Different Vds voltage conditions are input by Module ①, and a double-pulse signal is input by the Gate Driver (gate drive) of Module ④. During the conduction process of the power device to be tested, the Ids current rises through the inductance of ②. The Vds voltage difference is accurately measured through the clamping circuit ⑤, and the change of the dynamic resistance Ron when the power device to be tested is conducting is obtained through the formula Ron = Vds / Ids.
[0073] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the circuit of Module ① is as Figure 2 As shown, the range of the high-voltage direct current required to be input to the power device to be tested can be set, and then it is filtered through the fuse F1, EC1, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5. The filtering magnitude depends on the size of the device.
[0074] Module ④ is the input of the PWM control signal, and the circuit is as Figure 2As shown, the input signal is input through the adapter PWM_IN1. After filtering by R2 and C8, the U1 isolation driver is used. This isolation driver is a dedicated isolation driver to drive the power device under test.
[0075] Figure 3 The circuit for supplying power to the IC uses the U3 isolation power supply to supply power to the U1 isolation driver. Specifically, the output low-voltage direct current powers U1.
[0076] The clamping circuit of Module ⑤ is as Figure 4 shown. The principle of the clamping circuit is as follows:
[0077] 1. The LDO inputs a low DC voltage. When the power device under test is turned off, VD_off = VDD is a high voltage, and D4 is reverse cut-off; when the power device under test is turned on, VDD is a low voltage, D4 conducts, and Vs = Vds(on) + VD4. The voltage Vs can be measured during the conduction process. VD4 is the conduction voltage drop of the diode, which is a fixed value.
[0078] 2. Ids is the current passing through the detection resistor R10 (the current range required for the power device under test can be set), and it can be obtained by testing with an oscilloscope current probe.
[0079] 3. Use the formula: where R ds(on) is the on-resistance value, V ds(on) is the on-voltage, V s is the value that can be measured during the conduction process, VD4 is the conduction voltage drop of the diode, and Ids is the current passing through the detection resistor R10, which is obtained by testing with an oscilloscope current probe. Therefore, the dynamic on-resistance value of the device can be obtained using the above formula.
[0080] 4. Discharge through the resistor R12, and then through the voltage regulator diode D5 and D8, R11, C13 voltage regulator and filtering circuit to further reduce the reverse recovery time of D7 and minimize the capacitance interference, which can shorten the delay time of measuring valid data.
[0081] The beneficial effects of the above technical solutions are as follows: By using the solution provided in this embodiment, signal interference is reduced through isolation drive. The on-voltage drop of the device is measured using a high-precision clamping circuit, and then the change in the dynamic resistance of the device during the conduction process is accurately obtained through the formula. The test results have higher accuracy and stronger anti-interference ability, and are worthy of popularization and application.

Module ② is an inductor connected to the Vds voltage input, and the magnitude of the inductor is used to adjust the magnitude of the Ids current of the device through the controller. Module ③ is the power device under test. Module ④ is the input of the PWM signal. By inputting Gate Driver signals at different frequencies, the on-resistance of the device at different frequencies can be tested. Module ⑤ is the voltage clamping circuit when the power device under test is conducting.
[0118] The test principle of this embodiment is as follows: Different Vds voltage conditions are input by Module ①, and a double-pulse signal is input by the Gate Driver of Module ④. During the conduction process of the power device under test, the Ids current rises through the inductance of ②. The voltage difference of the Vds voltage is accurately measured through the clamping circuit ⑤, and the change in the dynamic resistance Ron when the power device under test is conducting is obtained through the formula Ron = Vds / Ids.
[0119] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the circuit of Module ① is as Figure 2 shown, and the range of the high-voltage direct current required to be input to the power device under test can be set. Then, it passes through the fuse F1, EC1, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 for filtering, and the filtering magnitude depends on the size of the device.

When the power device under test is turned off, VD_off = VDD is a high voltage and D4 is reverse cutoff; when the power device under test is turned on, VDD is a low voltage, D4 is turned on, and Vs = Vds(on) + VD4. The voltage Vs can be measured during the conduction process. VD4 is the conduction voltage drop of the diode, which is a fixed value.

[0125] 3. Using the formula: where R ds(on) is the on-resistance value, V ds(on) is the on-voltage, V s is the value that can be measured during the conduction process, VD4 is the conduction voltage drop of the diode, and Ids is the current passing through the detection resistor R10, which is obtained by testing with an oscilloscope current probe. Therefore, the dynamic on-resistance value of the device can be obtained using the above formula.
