Description

[0036] The specific implementation methods of this application are illustrated below through examples:

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, this application discloses a current detection circuit, including a test output terminal A, a test input terminal B, a detection module, and a current limiting module. The test output terminal A is connected to the first signal input terminal of the circuit under test 5; the test input terminal B is connected to the first signal output terminal of the circuit under test 5; the detection module is connected to the test input terminal B; and the current limiting module is connected to both the detection module and the test output terminal A. The circuit under test 5 is a driver IC circuit, including a logic controller 2, a second transistor Q2, a third transistor Q3, a first protection circuit 3, and a second protection circuit 4. The input terminal of the logic controller 2 is the first signal input terminal of the circuit under test 5. The first output terminal of the logic controller 2 is connected to the gate of the second transistor Q2, and the second output terminal of the logic controller 2 is connected to the gate of the third transistor Q3. The drain of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the drain of the third transistor Q3, and the source of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the supply voltage VCC. The source of the second transistor Q2 is grounded. The two ends of the first protection circuit 3 are connected to the drain and source of the third transistor Q3, respectively, and the two ends of the second protection circuit 4 are connected to the source and drain of the second transistor Q2, respectively.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the current limiting module includes a first transistor Q1 and a third capacitor C3. The drain of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the detection module, the source of the first transistor Q1 is connected to one end of the third capacitor C3, the other end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the detection module, and the gate of the first transistor Q1 receives a first control signal G3.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the detection module includes a first inductor L1, a first diode D1, a first resistor R1, and a first capacitor C1. One end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the test input terminal B, and the other end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the anode of the first diode D1. The cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to one end of the first resistor R1, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to one end of the first capacitor C1.

The first transistor Q1 is a power transistor.

[0041] like Figure 2The diagram shown is a timing diagram in an embodiment of this application, where t0, t1, t2, t3, and t4 are different time nodes. Before time t0, the current detection circuit is in the preparation stage, the output voltage of the first signal output terminal of the circuit under test is 0V, and the first transistor Q1 is turned off. At time t0, the first control signal G3 is input at a high level, the first transistor Q1 is turned on, and the simulated load, the first capacitor C1 and the third capacitor C3, are connected in parallel to the current detection circuit.

The voltage at the first signal output terminal quickly rises to be equal to the supply voltage VCC. During the t3-t4 phase, the voltage at the first signal output terminal reaches equal to the supply voltage VCC, and the output current at the first signal output terminal is zero. The input signal at the first signal input terminal of the circuit under test 5 is changed. At time t4, the internal third transistor Q3 of the circuit under test 5 is turned off, the second transistor Q2 is turned on, and the first signal output terminal drops from VCC to 0V. At this time, the test ends.

[0042] In this embodiment, a large-capacity first capacitor C1 and a small-capacity third capacitor C3 are used as analog loads. The first capacitor C1 is switched by the first transistor Q1, so that the current on the first inductor L1 drops to 0 in advance, ensuring that the state of the first output terminal does not oscillate when it changes from high to low, or that the circuit under test 5 does not oscillate when it is powered off after the test is completed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the second detection circuit includes a second switch S2, a second inductor L2, a second diode D2, a second resistor R2, a third switch S3, a fourth transistor Q4, a fourth capacitor C4, and a fifth capacitor C5. One end of the second switch S2 is connected to the test input terminal B, and the other end of the second switch S2 is connected to one end of the second inductor L2.

The maximum output sink current and the maximum output source current are tested separately by controlling the two switches.

[0049] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a timing diagram of an embodiment of this application, where t5, t6, t7, t8, and t9 are different time nodes. Before time t5, the current detection circuit is in the test preparation stage, the first signal output terminal of the circuit under test 5 outputs a high level, the first switch S1 is open, the second switch S2 is closed, and the fourth transistor Q4 is turned off. At time t5, the second control signal G4 is input at a low level, the fourth transistor Q4 is turned on, and the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth capacitor C5 are connected in parallel to the circuit. During the t5-t6 stage, after the fourth transistor Q4 is turned on, the third switch S3 is turned on, charging the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth capacitor C5 to be equal to the working voltage VDD, and then the third switch S3 is turned off. The first signal input terminal of the circuit under test 5 receives a signal, which at time t6 turns on the second transistor Q2 inside the circuit under test 5, and the voltage at the first signal output terminal begins to change from high to low. At this time, the output current I at the first signal output terminal... PK2 The current rapidly increases to its negative maximum value due to the presence of the second inductor L2 and the relatively large capacitance of the fourth capacitor C4, resulting in the output current I at the first signal output terminal. PK2 After reaching its negative maximum, it remains essentially unchanged; during the t6 to t7 stage, the second resistor R2 samples the maximum sink current I at the output terminal of the first signal. PK2And report the record; during the t7 to t8 phase, after the output current at the first signal output terminal is reported and recorded, at time t7, the second control signal G4 is input at a high level, turning off the fourth transistor Q4, disconnecting the fourth capacitor C4, and allowing the fifth capacitor C5 to continue discharging. The current of the second inductor L2 drops rapidly to zero, and the voltage at the first signal output terminal drops rapidly to 0V; during the t8 to t9 phase, the voltage at the first signal output terminal reaches 0V, and the current of the second inductor L2 is also zero. At time t9, the second switch S2 is opened, and the electrical test of the circuit under test 5 ends.

[0050] In this embodiment, a large-capacity first capacitor C1 and a small-capacity third capacitor C3 are used as analog loads.
