[0057] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below.
[0058] Example 1

[0065] The current detection circuit 4 is adapted to send a breakdown voltage measurement signal to the voltage measurement circuit 3 and a stop operation signal to the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 when the value of the received current signal of the transistor is greater than a preset rated current value.
[0066] The breakdown voltage measurement circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention uses a high-voltage power supply circuit 1 to provide a step-by-step pulse voltage to the cathode of the diode (the collector of the transistor). The anode of the diode (the emitter of the transistor) is connected to the current measurement circuit 2. The current flowing through the transistor is continuously measured by the current measurement circuit 2 and the measured current value is sent to the current detection circuit 4. When the transistor breaks down, the current measured by the current measurement circuit 2 increases instantaneously. The current detection circuit 4 connected to the current measurement circuit 2 determines that the value of the current signal of the transistor is greater than the preset rated current value, sends a stop signal to the high-voltage power supply circuit 1, setting the output of the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 to zero, and sends a breakdown voltage measurement signal to the voltage measurement circuit 3, so that the breakdown voltage of the transistor is measured by the voltage measurement circuit 3.

The circuit structure is simple, easy to operate, convenient and fast to measure, and highly stable, and can achieve accurate and effective measurement of the breakdown voltage of the transistor.
[0067] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 includes: a step signal generator, a first operational amplifier U1, a first MOS transistor Q1, a second MOS transistor Q2, a third MOS transistor Q3, a transformer T1, a voltage doubling circuit, a second operational amplifier U2, a first capacitor C1, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2 and a PWM control chip U3;
[0068] The non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is grounded, the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the output terminals of the step signal generator and the second operational amplifier U2 respectively, and the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the gate of the third MOS transistor Q3;
[0069] The source of the third MOS transistor Q3 is externally connected to the input voltage terminal, and the drain of the third MOS transistor Q3 is connected to the source of the first MOS transistor Q1;
[0070] The gate of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the input voltage terminal and the second output terminal DV2 of the PWM control chip U3, and the drain of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the drain of the second MOS transistor Q2;
[0071] The gate of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the first output terminal DV1 of the PWM control chip U3 and is grounded, and the drain of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the third terminal of the transformer T1 and is grounded;
[0072] The first end of the transformer T1 is connected between the drain of the first MOS transistor Q1 and the drain of the second MOS transistor Q2, and the second end and the fourth end of the transformer T1 are respectively connected to the input end of the voltage doubling circuit;
[0073] The output end of the voltage doubling circuit is connected to the non-inverting input end of the second operational amplifier U2 via the first capacitor C1, and is connected to the inverting input end of the second operational amplifier U2 via the first resistor R1;
[0074] The non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is grounded, and a second resistor R2 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2; the resistance of the first resistor R1 is greater than the resistance of the second resistor R2;
[0075] The step signal generator can output a preset constant voltage signal or a pulse voltage signal;
[0076] The PWM control chip U3 can output a preset square wave signal.
[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, the step signal generator can be implemented using a digital-to-analog converter (DA) chip. By controlling the input digital signal, the DA chip outputs a pulse voltage signal, which can be a step-increasing signal. By varying the input digital signal according to a preset period, the desired pulse voltage signal can be generated. For example, by varying the input digital signal according to a 1ms period, an output pulse voltage signal with a 1ms interval can be generated.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, a push-pull circuit is formed by the first MOS transistor Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2. In order to prevent the first MOS transistor Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2 from being turned on at the same time, the square wave signal output by the PWM control chip U3 needs to be set with a dead time and a reasonable duty cycle. Based on this, the specific model and specifications of the PWM control chip U3 can be selected according to the actual circuit requirements, for example, it can be an SG3525 chip. Figure 3As shown, the models and specifications of the components in the circuit can be set according to the guidance of the SG3525 device manual, so that the first output terminal DV1 and the second output terminal DV2 of the SG3525 chip can output square wave signals with appropriate duty cycle and dead time. Specifically, the sizes of R16, R17, C7 and C8 can be selected according to the duty cycle requirements, and the desired square wave waveform can be adjusted by selecting R18, C9, C10, C11 and adjusting the resistance value of potentiometer RV2. At the same time, the frequency can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of potentiometer RV1.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, a square wave signal with a suitable duty cycle and dead time is outputted through the first output terminal DV1 and the second output terminal DV2 of the PWM control chip U3. The first MOS transistor Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2 cause the primary coil of the transformer T1 to generate a corresponding square wave. Then, a geometrically amplified square wave is generated in the secondary coil of the transformer T1. Then, the voltage outputted by the transformer T1 is amplified by the voltage doubling circuit to obtain the output voltage of the high-voltage power supply circuit 1.
[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transformation ratio of the transformer T1 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, a transformer with a transformation ratio of 500 or 1000 can be selected.
[0081] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the voltage doubling circuit may be a half-bridge voltage doubling circuit, and the half-bridge voltage doubling circuit includes a first diode D1, a second diode D2, a second capacitor C2, and a third capacitor C3;
[0082] The first diode D1 and the second diode D2 are connected in reverse parallel, the second capacitor C2 is connected to the third terminal of the transformer T1 and the common terminal of the first diode D1 and the second diode D2, and the third capacitor C3 is connected between the anode of the first diode D1 and the cathode of the second diode D2. Figure 2 The half-bridge voltage doubling circuit shown can achieve the output voltage of the transformer T1 to be amplified by two times to obtain the output voltage HVOUT+. Those skilled in the art can also choose other ways to implement the voltage doubling circuit according to actual circuit requirements, and can also change the model and specifications of the first diode D1, the second diode D2, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3. Figure 2 The specific implementation process of the amplification factor of the half-bridge voltage doubler circuit shown can be referred to the detailed description of the relevant technology, which will not be repeated here.
[0083] Reference Figure 2As shown, the high-voltage current circuit also includes a resistor matrix disposed between the voltage output terminal and the output terminal of the voltage multiplier circuit. This resistor matrix is a current-limiting resistor matrix. By configuring the current-limiting resistor matrix, a preset output voltage HVSOUT is obtained. By configuring the resistor matrix, current is limited, circuit short circuits are prevented, and the high-voltage power supply and components under test are protected.
[0084] The resistance matrix described in the embodiment of the present invention can be composed of a series of relay switches and resistors connected in series and parallel. By controlling the on and off of different relay switches, the resistance value connected to the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 is controlled. The specific control method of the resistance matrix and its relay switches can be implemented according to the detailed description of the relevant technology and will not be repeated here.
[0085] In the embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the first MOS transistor Q1 is a PNP-type MOS transistor, and the second MOS transistor Q2 is an NPN-type MOS transistor. The voltage input terminal continuously provides voltage to the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1. If the first MOS transistor Q1 is to be turned on, its gate needs to be at a low level. Since the first output terminal DV1 and the second output terminal DV2 of the SG3525 chip are non-inverting terminals, in order to achieve control of the first MOS transistor Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2, the second output terminal DV2 can also be connected to an inverting circuit. The inverting circuit inverts the output waveform of the second output terminal DV2. When the second output terminal DV2 is at a high level, the first MOS transistor Q1 is turned on, and when the first output terminal DV1 is at a high level, the second MOS transistor is turned on.
[0086] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the inverting circuit includes: a fourth MOS transistor Q4, a sixth resistor R6 and a seventh resistor R7;
[0087] The sixth resistor R6 is connected between the gate of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 and the second output terminal DV2 of the PWM control chip. The source of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 is grounded. The seventh resistor R7 is connected between the source and gate of the fourth MOS transistor Q4. The drain of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 is connected to the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1.
[0088] In the embodiment of the present invention, the fourth MOS transistor Q4 may be a BS107A MOS transistor. Of course, those skilled in the art may also select other suitable MOS transistors according to the teachings of relevant technologies, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0089] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2As shown, a third resistor R3 is connected between the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 and the step signal generator, and a fourth resistor R4 is connected between the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 and the output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2.
[0090] In the embodiment of the present invention, a Kirchhoff circuit is formed based on the virtual ground characteristic of the operational amplifier input terminal. The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier, that is, the node TP1, is at zero potential. According to Kirchhoff's current law (KCL), the sum of the currents of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 is zero. Therefore, as shown in FIG2 , DA+ / R3=-UTP4 / R4, as shown in FIG2 . Figure 2 As shown, since the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are both set to be 10KΩ precision resistors, the voltage at the TP4 point is equal to -DV+, that is, the voltage at the output end of the second operational amplifier U2 is -DA+. Figure 2 As shown, the resistance of the first resistor R1 is much greater than the resistance of the second resistor R2. The second operational amplifier U2 and the connected first resistor R1 and second resistor R2 form an inverting attenuation circuit. According to Kirchhoff's law, HVOUT+ / R1=DA+ / R2, so HVOUT+=200*DA+. From this, it can be seen that when DA+ is a constant value, HVOUT+ is also a constant value. When DA+ is a pulse voltage signal, HVOUT+ is also a pulse signal. In this embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the reliability of the circuit, the pulse voltage signal output by the step signal generator, that is, the width of the DA+ pulse signal, can be set to be greater than 10uS.
[0091] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, an energy storage capacitor C5 is connected in parallel between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 to achieve the function of stabilizing the circuit.
[0092] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 further includes: a twelfth resistor R12 arranged between the gate and the drain of the third MOS transistor Q3 and a thirteenth resistor R13 arranged between the gate of the third MOS transistor Q3 and the first operational amplifier U1.
[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, the third MOS transistor Q3 is connected via the twelfth resistor R12 and the thirteenth resistor R13 to provide a bias voltage for the third MOS transistor Q3, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the third MOS transistor Q3. Since the gate of the third MOS transistor is connected to the output end of the first operational amplifier U1 via the thirteenth resistor R13, the second operational amplifier U2 serves as the main operational amplifier of the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 between the output end and the inverting input end, forming a closed loop. The variable resistance area of the third MOS transistor is automatically adjusted by the first operational amplifier U1 to ensure the stability of the closed loop. Since the resistance values of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are not variable, the attenuation multiple of the reverse attenuation circuit formed by the second operational amplifier U2, the first resistor R1, and the second resistor R2 is fixed. Therefore, the source voltage of the first MOS transistor (i.e., Figure 2 The voltage at the middle node TP3 is automatically adjusted to achieve the circuit voltage, thereby improving the regulation accuracy of the circuit.
[0094] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, a third diode D3 is further connected between the inverting input and output of the first operational amplifier. By providing the third diode D3 and utilizing the unidirectional conduction characteristic of the third diode D3, the output is ensured not to deviate toward the negative power supply, thereby preventing the circuit output voltage from being too high.
[0095] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, a fourth capacitor C4 and a fifth resistor R5 are connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the first operational amplifier.
[0096] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 further includes: an eighth resistor R8 provided between the gate of the first MOS transistor and the input voltage terminal;

[0100] In the embodiment of the present invention, voltage division is achieved by providing voltage dividing resistors at the gates of the first MOS transistor and the second MOS transistor, thereby ensuring the stability of the circuit.
[0101] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2As shown, a bypass capacitor C6 is also connected between the voltage input terminal and the ground terminal to achieve circuit filtering and reduce noise in the circuit; an electrolytic capacitor E1 is also connected between the common terminal of the voltage input terminal and the eighth resistor and the ground terminal to achieve circuit energy storage.
[0102] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, a resistor R14 is further connected between the gate and source of the first MOS transistor; a resistor R15 is further connected between the gate and source of the second MOS transistor to achieve a circuit stabilization function.
[0103] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the current detection circuit 4 includes: an absolute value circuit, a fourth operational amplifier U4, a twentieth resistor R20, a twenty-first resistor R21, a comparator U5 and a control unit;
[0104] One end of the absolute value circuit is connected to the current measurement circuit 2, and the other end is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the fourth operational amplifier U4;
[0105] The inverting input terminal of the fourth operational amplifier U4 is grounded via the twentieth resistor R20, the twenty-first resistor R21 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the fourth operational amplifier U4, and the output terminal of the fourth operational amplifier U4 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the comparator U5;
[0106] The non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U5 is connected to the comparison reference voltage terminal LDA, and the output terminal CMPOUT of the comparator U5 is connected to the control unit;
[0107] The control unit is connected to the voltage measurement circuit 3 and the high-voltage power supply circuit 1, and is used to send a breakdown voltage measurement signal to the voltage measurement circuit 3 and a stop working signal to the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 when it is determined that the output signal level of the comparator U5 is reversed.
[0108] In an optional embodiment, a twelfth capacitor C12 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the fourth operational amplifier U4.
[0109] In an optional embodiment, the absolute value circuit includes a sixth operational amplifier U6 and a seventh operational amplifier U7;

[0114] In a specific embodiment, the control unit is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). In the embodiment of the present invention, the control logic of the control unit when it is an FPGA can be implemented according to the detailed description in the relevant art, which will not be repeated here.
[0115] In the embodiment of the present invention, the sixth operational amplifier and the seventh operational amplifier form an absolute value circuit, so that the voltage IVCOUT output by the current measurement circuit 2 is a positive voltage, wherein IVCOUT is the voltage value after the current is measured in the current measurement circuit 2 and converted into a voltage; in the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the positive voltage of the voltage IVCOUT, the voltage is amplified by the fourth operational amplifier U4, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the resistance value of the 21st resistor R21 is 4 times that of the 20th resistor R20, that is, R20:(R20+R21)=1:5. Therefore, the voltage value after the fourth operational amplifier U4 performs in-phase amplification is the positive voltage of IVCOUT, which is amplified 5 times. In the embodiment of the present invention, due to the setting Figure 2The full-scale range of the current measurement circuit 2 shown is 2V, meaning that the maximum voltage output by the output terminal of the fourth operational amplifier U4 is 10V. Next, the comparator U5 compares the positive voltage, amplified five times, with the value of the reference voltage terminal LDA. When the voltage output by the output terminal of the fourth operational amplifier U4 is greater than LDA, it indicates that the transistor has broken down. At this point, the current flowing through the transistor reaches the rated current value, and the level of the output signal at the output terminal CMP OUT of the comparator U5 reverses. The output signal of the comparator U5 is sent to the control unit. Upon receiving the level-reversed output signal, the control unit sends a breakdown voltage measurement signal to the voltage measurement circuit 3 and a stop signal to the high-voltage power supply circuit 1.
[0116] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step signal generator of the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 may be connected to the control unit, and upon receiving the stop working signal from the control unit, the step signal generator is reset to zero, so that the output DA+ is zero.

[0118] The non-inverting input terminal of the eighth operational amplifier U8 is connected to the high-voltage power supply circuit 1 via a thirty-first resistor R31, a negative feedback resistor unit is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the eighth operational amplifier U8, and the output terminal of the eighth operational amplifier U8 is connected to the signal output terminal of the sampling and holding unit U9 via a thirty-second resistor R32;
[0119] The logic signal terminal of the sampling and holding unit U9 is connected to the current detection circuit 4, and the output terminal of the sampling and holding unit U9 is externally connected to a voltage measurement unit;
[0120] The sampling and holding unit U9 is used to perform sampling and holding upon receiving the breakdown voltage measurement signal from the current detection circuit 4 , and send the sampling and holding signal to the voltage measurement unit.

Of course, those skilled in the art can also select other suitable types of switching switches according to the description in the relevant technology to connect the second negative feedback resistor R34 to the circuit, or connect the first negative feedback resistors R33 and R34 in series to the circuit. The specific implementation method of the switching switch k0 is not specifically limited here.
[0124] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the negative feedback resistance unit further includes: a compensation capacitor C14; the compensation capacitor C14 is connected in parallel between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the eighth operational amplifier U8.
[0125] In the embodiment of the present invention, the eighth operational amplifier U8 constitutes a reverse attenuation circuit. Figure 5 As shown, the resistance value of the thirty-fourth resistor R34 is 50 times that of the thirty-second resistor R32, and the resistance value of the thirty-third resistor R33 and the thirty-fourth resistor R34 is 200 times that of the thirty-second resistor R32. Therefore, the voltage value after inverse attenuation by the eighth operational amplifier U8 is 1 / 50 or 1 / 200 of the voltage value of the output terminal HVSOUT of the current measurement circuit 2, and is transmitted to the input terminal of the sampling and holding unit U9.
[0126] Reference Figure 5 As shown, when the level signal sent by the control unit to the sampling and holding signal terminal (i.e., pin 8) of the sampling and holding unit U9 changes from a sampling signal to a holding signal, that is, after the breakdown voltage measurement signal is sent, the input voltage of the input terminal (i.e., pin 3) of the sampling and holding unit U9 is sampled and held. At this time, the voltage of the output terminal (i.e., pin 5) of the sampling and holding unit U9 is measured by the voltage measuring unit, and then multiplied by the attenuation multiple (50 times or 200 times) to obtain the breakdown high voltage of the transistor.

The voltage is followed by the tenth operational amplifier to obtain the reverse voltage value of the voltage of the first pole of the transistor, and the voltage is reversed by the eleventh operational amplifier to prevent the voltage floating of the grounding point from affecting the circuit, thereby obtaining the true voltage of the first pole of the transistor. The virtual ground characteristic of the input terminal of the twelfth operational amplifier is utilized to form a Kirchhoff circuit. According to Kirchhoff's current law (KCL), the sum of the currents at the inverting input terminal of the twelfth operational amplifier is zero, thereby being able to obtain the voltage of the load resistance circuit. According to the relationship between voltage, resistance and current, the magnitude of the current flowing through the transistor can be obtained.

A push-pull circuit consisting of a fifth transistor Q5, a sixth transistor Q6, a seventh transistor Q7, and an eighth transistor Q8 is connected to the output terminal of the thirteenth operational amplifier U13.

At this time, the fifth transistor Q5 and the sixth transistor Q6 are turned on, and the current flows out from the power supply F28+. As a result, the fifth transistor Q5, the sixth transistor Q6, the seventh transistor Q7, and the eighth transistor Q8 are driven by the thirteenth operational amplifier U13 to provide current from the power supply. This enables the current measurement circuit 2 to have the ability to measure current under positive and negative voltages.

The two oppositely connected diodes serve as a voltage clamping protection circuit. When the potential difference between the non-inverting input and the inverting input of the thirteenth operational amplifier U13 exceeds the withstand voltage of diodes D6 or D7 due to a transient voltage change, the diodes open, preventing the voltage deviation between the non-inverting input and the inverting input of the thirteenth operational amplifier U13 from exceeding the voltage limit of the virtual short connection. This voltage deviation between the non-inverting input and the inverting input of the thirteenth operational amplifier U13 is amplified by the thirteenth operational amplifier U13, causing damage to the circuit of the thirteenth operational amplifier U13.
