[0024] The following detailed description will further describe the present application in combination with the above-mentioned drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or a middle element can exist at the same time. When one element is considered to be "arranged on" another element, it can be directly arranged on the other element or a middle element can exist at the same time.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the present application herein only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0027] Generally, the surge test can be a method for testing the limit performance of the rectifier diode, and can test the resistance of the product to the surge current. The actual junction temperature of the device during the surge process can be an important parameter for quantifying the aging of the package and the device.

[0028] It can be understood that the surge test system can test the junction temperature after the end of the surge, and the maximum junction temperature in the surge test can be near the current peak. How to accurately measure the maximum junction temperature of the device and establish it in the surge process is extremely important.

[0029] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a junction temperature test system and method, which can accurately measure the maximum junction temperature of the device, and can also realize the junction temperature measurement in the changing process of the surge waveform. The junction temperature test system and method of the embodiment of the present application can also reduce the development cost of the test system and improve the test efficiency.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 1, Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a structure schematic diagram of a junction temperature test system 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the junction temperature test system 100 can include a surge current unit 10, a control unit 20, a sampling unit 30, an operation unit 40, a small current unit 50, and a device under test 60. The control unit 20 can be electrically connected between the surge current unit 10 and the device under test 60, the small current unit 50 can be electrically connected to the device under test 60, the operation unit 40 can be electrically connected to the sampling unit 30, and the sampling unit 30 can be electrically connected to the device under test 60. It can be understood that the surge current unit 10 can serve as a first current unit of the present application, and the small current unit 50 can serve as a second current unit of the present application. The device under test 60 can be a diode.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, the surge current unit 10 can output a first current, and the control unit 20 can be used to turn on or turn off the electrical connection between the surge current unit 10 and the device under test 60. The control unit 20 can control whether the first current passes through the device under test 60. For example, when the control unit 20 turns on the electrical connection between the surge current unit 10 and the device under test 60, the surge current unit 10 can output the first current to the device under test 60. The first current output by the surge current unit 10 can be a surge current, that is, the first current can be a current signal with a waveform, for example, the first current can be a surge current signal with a half-wave sine. Therefore, the surge current unit 10 in the embodiment of the present application can output a large current to the device under test 60.

[0033] The small current unit 50 can output a second current to the device under test 60, wherein the second current is a constant small current, and the small current can be between 10mA and 100mA. For example, the small current unit 50 can continuously output a small current of 20mA to the device under test 60. The sampling unit 30 can sample parameters of the device under test 60, for example, the sampling unit 30 can sample voltage and current of the device under test 60, and can transmit the collected parameters to the operation unit 40.

[0034] When the control unit 20 disconnects the electrical connection between the inrush current unit 10 and the device under test 60, the inrush current output by the inrush current unit 10 will not flow through the device under test 60, at this time, the second current output by the small current unit 50 flows through the device under test 60, the sampling unit 30 collects voltage data of the device under test 60, and transmits the collected voltage data to the operation unit 40, and the operation unit 40 can calculate the junction temperature value according to the collected voltage data.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 1, which shows a structural schematic diagram of a junction temperature test system 100 provided by another embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 Figure 2 Referring to FIG. 1, which shows a structural schematic diagram of a junction temperature test system 100 provided by another embodiment of the present application.

[0036] In this embodiment, the control unit 20 includes a main circuit switch module 22 and a freewheeling circuit switch module 24. The sampling unit 30 includes a current sampling module 32 and a voltage sampling module 34.

[0037] It can be understood that the inrush current unit 10 can be connected to the main circuit switch module 22 and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24. The main circuit switch module 22 can be connected to the device under test 60, and the small current unit 50 can be connected to the device under test 60.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the small current unit 50 can be electrically connected to both ends of the device under test 60, a first end of the main circuit switch module 22 can be electrically connected to a first end of the device under test 60, a second end of the main circuit switch module 22 can be electrically connected to a first end of the inrush current unit 10, a second end of the inrush current unit 10 can be electrically connected to a second end of the device under test 60, and the inrush current unit 10 can be connected in parallel with the freewheeling circuit switch module 24.

[0039] In one embodiment, the main circuit switch module 22 can include a first switch. When the first switch is turned on, the inrush current unit 10 can output an inrush current to the device under test 60.​

[0040] In the embodiment, when the main circuit switch module 22 is off, the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 is on, thus the residual current in the inrush current can flow through the freewheeling circuit switch module 24. It can be understood that in one possible implementation, the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 can include a second switch and a resistor. When the second switch is on, the residual current in the inrush current can pass through the resistor, and the residual heat can be consumed.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, a structure schematic diagram of a junction temperature test system 100 provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 3 Figure 3 Referring to FIG. 1, a structure schematic diagram of a junction temperature test system 100 provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 1, a structure schematic diagram of a junction temperature test system 100 provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 The difference between the junction temperature test system shown in the embodiment and the junction temperature test system shown in FIG. 1 is that, as shown in FIG. 2, in the embodiment, the control unit 20 can further include a control module 26. The control module 26 can be connected to the main circuit switch module 22 and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24. The control module 26 can output signals to the main circuit switch module 22 and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24. For example, the control module 26 can output pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to the main circuit switch module 22 and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24, thus the states of the main circuit switch module 22 and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 can be controlled. Figure 3

[0043] For example, the small current unit 50 outputs a small current of 10mA-100mA to the device under test 60, for example, the small current unit 50 outputs a current of 20mA to the device under test 60, the voltage sampling module 34 collects the voltage value V F of the device under test 60 and transmits the voltage value V F to the operation unit 40, and the operation unit 40 takes the voltage value V F as the standard V F value under the initial junction temperature 25℃. Assuming that the duration of the inrush current is T, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation unit 40 can calculate the junction temperature T Figure 4 ​​As shown, the duration of the inrush current can start from 4000us and end at 12000us. At the time tO (e.g. 4000us), the control module 26 can control the main circuit switch module 22 to be on and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be off, and the inrush current unit 10 can output a sine half-wave inrush current to the device under test 60, and the small current unit 50 can output a small current of 10mA-100mA to the device under test 60. At the time tO+ax (e.g. 4500us) when the inrush current unit 10 outputs the inrush current, where x is less than T, the control module 26 can control the main circuit switch module 22 to be off and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be on. At this time, the current sampling module 32 samples the current in the device under test 60 as the small current output by the small current unit 50, and can trigger the voltage sampling module 34 to transmit the collected voltage data 1 to the operation unit 40, and the operation unit 40 can convert the collected voltage data 1 into junction temperature 1.

[0044] After obtaining the junction temperature 1, the control module 26 confirms whether the time between the time tO and tO+ax reaches the preset time (e.g. time T). If the time between the time tO and tO+ax does not reach the time T, at the time tO (e.g. 4000us), the control module controls the main circuit switch module 22 to be on and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be off, and at this time, the inrush current unit 10 and the small current unit 50 both start to output current to the device under test 60. At the time tO+(a+1)x (e.g. 5000us) when the inrush current unit 10 outputs the inrush current, the control module 26 controls the main circuit switch module 22 to be off and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be on. At this time, the current sampling module 32 samples the current in the device under test 60 as the small current output by the small current unit 50, and can trigger the voltage sampling module 34 to transmit the collected voltage data 2 to the operation unit 40, and the operation unit 40 can convert the collected voltage data 2 into junction temperature 2.

[0045] After obtaining the junction temperature 2, the control module 26 confirms whether the time between the to time and the to+(a+1)x time reaches the preset time (for example, time T). If the time between the to time and the to+(a+1)x time does not reach the time T, the control module controls the main circuit switch module 22 to be turned on and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be turned off at the to time (for example, 4000us), and at this time, the inrush current unit 10 and the small current unit 50 start to output current to the device under test 60. At the to+(a+2)x time (for example, 5500us), the control module 26 controls the main circuit switch module 22 to be turned off and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be turned on. At this time, the current sampling module 32 samples the current in the device under test 60 as the small current output by the small current unit 50, and can trigger the voltage sampling module 34 to transmit the collected voltage data 3 to the operation unit 40, and the operation unit 40 can convert the collected voltage data 3 into the junction temperature 3. It can be understood that the time between the to time and the to+ax time is the same as the time between the to time and the to+(a+1)x time.

[0046] The control unit is also used to confirm whether the time between the to time and the to+(a+1)x time reaches the time T. If the time between the to time and the to+(a+1)x time does not reach the preset time, the control module 26 is used to turn on the electrical connection between the inrush current unit 10 and the device under test 60 at the to time when the inrush current unit 10 outputs current, and turn off the electrical connection between the inrush current unit 10 and the device under test 60 at the i time point when the inrush current unit outputs the first current. Wherein i is equal to 4, 5, 6, … n. As shown in the figure, the junction temperature test system 100 can repeat the above junction temperature measurement steps until the output time of the inrush current reaches the time T. Therefore, the implementation of the present application can obtain the junction temperature corresponding to multiple output times of the inrush current, so that the junction temperature measurement in the change process of the inrush waveform can be realized. Figure 4

[0047] The junction temperature test system of the present application can accurately measure the maximum junction temperature of the device, and can also realize the junction temperature measurement in the change process of the inrush waveform.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The flow chart of the junction temperature test method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The junction temperature test method can include the following steps:

[0049] Step S51: The small current unit outputs current to the device under test, and records the initial voltage value of the device at normal temperature. ​

[0050] by Figure 3 The junction temperature testing system 100 shown is used as an example for explanation. During junction temperature measurement, the small current unit 50 outputs a small current of 10mA to 100mA to the device under test 60, and the voltage sampling module 34 can acquire the voltage value V of the device under test 60. F and the voltage value V F The voltage value V is transmitted to the arithmetic unit 40, which then transmits it to the arithmetic unit 40. F As the standard V at an initial junction temperature of 25℃ F value.

[0051] Step S52: At time t0, turn on the main circuit switch module and turn off the freewheeling circuit switch module. The surge current unit and the small current unit output current to the device under test.

[0052] Assume the duration of the surge current output by the surge current unit 10 is T. At time t0, as... Figure 4 As shown, the duration of the surge current can start from 4000us. The control module can control the main circuit switch module 22 to be turned on and control the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be turned off. The surge current unit 10 can output a sinusoidal half-wave surge current to the device under test 60. Thus, the small current unit 50 outputs a small current of 10mA to 100mA to the device under test 60.

[0053] Step S53: At time t0+ax, turn on the freewheeling circuit switch module and turn off the main circuit switch module.

[0054] At the time t0+ax when the surge current unit 10 outputs the surge current, as Figure 4 As shown, the surge current duration can end at 4500µs. The control module 26 can control the main circuit switch module 22 to disconnect and control the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to turn on.

[0055] Step S54: When the trigger current sampling module only collects the current output of the small current, the trigger voltage sampling module collects the voltage of the device under test and converts the voltage into junction temperature.

[0056] Since the surge current unit 10 is disconnected from the device under test 60, the current sampling module 32 samples the current in the device under test 60 as the small current output by the small current unit 50, and can trigger the voltage sampling module 34 to send the collected voltage data to the calculation unit 40. The calculation unit 40 can convert the collected voltage into a junction temperature of 1.

[0057] Step S55: confirming whether the value T is reached at the time t0+ax after the inrush current unit outputs current. If yes, go to step S56, otherwise return to step S52.

[0058] When the operation unit 40 obtains the junction temperature 1 of the inrush current at the time t0+ax, the steps S52 and S54 can be re-executed. At this time, a=a+1. For example, after obtaining the junction temperature 1, the control module 26 controls the main circuit switch module 22 to be turned on and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be turned off from the time t0 (for example, 4000us), at this time, the inrush current unit 10 and the small current unit 50 both start to output current to the device under test 60. At the time t0+(a+1)x (for example, 5000us) when the inrush current unit 10 outputs inrush current, the control module 26 controls the main circuit switch module 22 to be turned off and the freewheeling circuit switch module 24 to be turned on. At this time, the current sampling module 32 samples the current in the device under test 60 to be the small current output by the small current unit 50, and the voltage sampling module 34 can be triggered to transmit the collected voltage data 2 to the operation unit 40, and the operation unit 40 can convert the collected voltage data 2 into the junction temperature 2.

[0059] Therefore, until the value T is reached at the time t0+ax after the inrush current unit outputs current, the junction temperature measurement in the whole inrush current waveform change process is completed.

[0060] Step S56: the operation unit calculates the junction temperature change graph of the inrush process and identifies the maximum junction temperature.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the operation unit can record the junction temperature in the whole inrush waveform change process, and can identify the maximum junction temperature.

[0062] The junction temperature test system and method in the embodiment of the present application can accurately measure the maximum junction temperature of the device, and can also realize the junction temperature measurement in the inrush waveform change process.
