[0002] The network test for PCBs at the present stage is commonly known as two-wire testing, which can only measure traditional O / S (Open-Short Test, IC open-short circuit test). Four-wire testing for PCBs can measure the resistance of the test points, and can measure the resistance of each network when the copper thickness and the board thickness of the PCB product are stable. When the copper thickness is thin or the line width is narrow, the resistance will obviously increase, thereby achieving the effect of measuring thin copper or line gaps. However, in the actual PCB production process, there may be foreign matter or micro-copper wires, commonly known as micro-short, which can form a short circuit after a long period of use. In particular, in the case of automotive products, micro-short can form a short circuit in different environments after a long period of use, causing abnormality.

[0016] S32, if the curve of the electrical signal changing with time has the mutation moment, judging whether the curve of the electrical signal changing with time has a mutation point.

[0017] Further, the electrical signal is a voltage signal or a current signal.

[0018] Further, the preset voltage value is 200V-300V.

[0019] Further, the preset time is 10-15us.

[0020] In a second aspect, a micro-short identification device comprises units for the method of the first aspect.

[0021] In a third aspect, a computer device comprises a memory and a processor, the memory stores a computer program, and the processor implements the method of the first aspect when executing the computer program.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in the present application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes these combinations.

[0034] As used in the present application specification and the appended claims, the term “if’ can be interpreted as meaning “when” or “once” or “in response to a determination” or “in response to detecting” depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases “if determined” or “if detected [described condition or event]” can be interpreted to mean “once determined” or “in response to a determination” or “once detected [described condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [described condition or event]” depending on the context.

[0035] Reference is made to Figure 1The embodiment of the present application provides a micro-short identification method, which is used for detecting whether a micro-short exists in a PCB. The PCB comprises a network, and the network comprises a line. Specifically, the PCB can comprise a plurality of networks, and the network can comprise a plurality of lines. The method comprises steps S1-S4.

[0036] S1, gradually increasing a voltage at two ends of the line to a preset voltage value.

[0037] In specific implementation, the line refers to each line of the PCB, that is, steps S1-S4 are respectively performed on each line of the PCB to determine whether a micro-short exists.

[0038] The voltage probe is connected to the contacts at the two ends of the line, and the voltage is gradually increased to the preset voltage value. Specifically, the voltage can be uniformly increased to avoid the influence of voltage mutation on the test result.

[0039] S2, generating a curve of an electrical signal of the line changing with time in the process of step S1.

[0040] In specific implementation, the data of the electrical signal of the line in the process of step S1 is recorded, and the curve of the electrical signal changing with time is generated.

[0041] For example, in an embodiment, step S2 specifically comprises steps S21-S22.

[0042] S21, recording the electrical signal of the line every preset time interval in the process of step S1.

[0043] In specific implementation, the preset time interval is 10-15 us, for example, the preset time interval is 13 us in the embodiment.

[0044] Further, the electrical signal can be a voltage signal or a current signal, for example, the electrical signal is a voltage signal in the embodiment.

[0045] S22, fitting and generating the curve of the electrical signal changing with time according to the electrical signal recorded in step S21.

[0046] In specific implementation, the data points collected are first plotted in a preset coordinate system, and the curve of the electrical signal changing with time can be obtained by connecting the data points through a smooth curve.

[0047] S3, determining whether the curve of the electrical signal changing with time has a mutation point.

[0048] In specific implementation, the mutation point refers to a point at which the curve of the electrical signal changing with time instantaneously fluctuates.

[0049] Specifically, in an embodiment, step S3 comprises steps S31-S32.

[0050] S31, determining whether the electrical signal curve with time exists a mutation time, wherein the mutation time is the time point when the change of the electrical signal exceeds the preset change threshold.

[0051] In a specific implementation, at the mutation time, the change of the electrical signal exceeds the preset change threshold, which is manifested as a sudden mutation of the curve and a breakpoint.

[0052] In this embodiment, the electrical signal is a voltage signal, and the change threshold is set to 30V. That is, if the voltage value of a point on the electrical signal curve with time changes instantaneously by more than 30V, the time point corresponding to the point is determined as the mutation time.

[0053] S32, if the electrical signal curve with time exists a mutation time, determining whether the electrical signal curve with time exists a mutation point.

[0054] In a specific implementation, if the electrical signal curve with time exists a mutation time, it is determined whether the electrical signal curve with time exists a mutation point. The point corresponding to the mutation time is the mutation point.

[0055] S4, if the electrical signal curve exists a mutation point, it is determined that the line exists a micro short.

[0056] In a specific implementation, if the electrical signal curve exists a mutation point, it is determined that the line exists a micro short.

[0057] The principle of the present application is that after applying high voltage, the original foreign matter or small copper wire may change or burn out, and sparks may be generated at this time, and the current / voltage will suddenly fluctuate.

[0058] Specifically, when there is a small foreign matter or copper wire between the lines (i.e., a micro short), the small foreign matter or copper wire will decompose a part of the current (for example, 10pA) when a constant current is continuously input. According to U=IR, in the case of continuous voltage increase, the actual foreign matter or copper residue will decompose a part of the voltage, resulting in a temporary opportunity for the actual voltage to decrease.

[0059] Referring to Figure 2 In an embodiment, when the change of the voltage with time is detected to the time t, the voltage decreases by ΔV, and if ΔV is greater than 30V, it is determined that a micro short exists.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application proposes a PCB defect detection method, which at least includes a conduction test, a short circuit test, a leakage test, a four-wire test, and a micro short recognition method proposed in the above embodiment.

[0061] Conduction test: detecting whether each line of the same network is conductive.

[0062] Short circuit test: to detect whether there is a short circuit connection between the lines of different networks.

[0063] Leakage test: to detect whether there is a poor connection between the lines of different networks, such as debris, ion contamination, electronic migration, etc.

[0064] Four-wire test: to detect the actual resistance of the same network, and to detect small quality abnormalities such as hole breakage, small holes, and thin wires by comparing with the set upper limit.

[0065] Reference Figure 3 Corresponding to the above micro-short identification method, the present application also provides a micro-short identification device 20. The micro-short identification device 20 is applied to a test equipment, and the micro-short identification device 20 comprises:
