[0051] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a voltage regulator testing device, which includes a detection component 1, a testing daughter board 2 and a testing mother board 3.

[0052] The test sub-board 2 is detachably connected to the voltage regulator 4 to be tested, so that the multiple pins of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested are respectively connected to the multiple contacts of the test sub-board 2. The test motherboard 3 includes a pin configuration component 31, and the test motherboard 3 is detachably connected to the test sub-board 2, so that the first end of the pin configuration component 31 is respectively connected to the multiple contacts of the test sub-board 2, and the second end of the pin configuration component 31 is connected to the detection component 1. The pin configuration component 31 is used to transmit the detection signal of the detection component 1 to the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the multiple contacts of the test sub-board 2, and transmit the test signal fed back and output by the voltage regulator 4 to be tested to the detection component 1.

[0053] It can be understood that when the voltage regulator needs to be tested, the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is first fixed on the test sub-board 2, and the multiple pins of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested can be connected to the multiple contacts of the test sub-board 2. Specifically, the first pin A1 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is connected to the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2, the second pin A2 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is connected to the second contact F2 of the test sub-board 2, and the third pin A3 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is connected to the third contact F3 of the test sub-board 2. After that, the test sub-board 2 can be spliced ​​with the test motherboard 3, so that the pins of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested can be connected to the pin configuration component 31 on the test motherboard 3 through the contacts of the test sub-board 2, and then connected to the detection component 1 through the pin configuration component 31. When the connection between the voltage regulator 4 to be tested and the test sub-board 2, and the connection between the test sub-board 2 and the test motherboard 3 is completed, the pin configuration component 31 can be controlled to be in a corresponding working state according to the type of each pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested, so that the detection signal of the detection component 1 can be transmitted to the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the pin configuration component 31 and multiple contacts of the test sub-board 2, and the detection component 1 can receive the test signal feedback output by the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the pin configuration component 31 and multiple contacts of the test sub-board 2.

[0054] In the application, since there are differences in the size and number of pins of voltage regulators of different package models, it is only necessary to design a test sub-board according to the package model of the voltage regulator to be tested, so as to lead the IN pin, GND pin and OUT pin of the voltage regulator to be tested to the first contact F1, the second contact F2 and the third contact F3 of the test sub-board, and then the voltage regulator can be tested through the detection component and the pin configuration component and the capacitor configuration component on the test motherboard. It should be noted that no matter what package model of voltage regulator the test sub-board is suitable for, the test sub-board and the test motherboard in the present application can be connected to realize the corresponding connection between the pin configuration component and the multiple contacts of the test sub-board 2.

[0055] The voltage regulator test device includes a detection component, a test sub-board and a test motherboard. The test sub-board is detachably connected to the voltage regulator to be tested. When testing the voltage regulator to be tested, firstly, multiple pins of the voltage regulator to be tested are respectively connected to multiple contacts of the test sub-board to fix the voltage regulator to be tested on the test sub-board, and then the test sub-board is connected to the test motherboard, so that multiple pins of the voltage regulator to be tested are connected to the first end of the pin configuration component on the test motherboard through multiple corresponding contacts of the test sub-board. Since the second end of the pin configuration component is connected to the detection component, the voltage regulator to be tested can receive the detection signal from the detection component through the corresponding contacts of the test sub-board and the pin configuration component, and the generated test signal is fed back and output to the detection component through the pin configuration component and the corresponding contacts of the test sub-board. Through the voltage regulator test device of the present application, voltage regulators of different packaging models and the same packaging model but with different pin arrangement positions can be tested, which can not only reduce the testing cost of the voltage regulator, but also improve the efficiency of the voltage regulator.

[0056] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the detection component 1 includes: a power supply unit 11 and a detection unit 12. The power supply unit 11 is connected to the second end of the pin configuration component 31, and is used to provide a detection signal to the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the pin configuration component 31 and the test sub-board 2. The detection unit 12 is connected to the second end of the pin configuration component 31, and is used to receive the test signal of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the pin configuration component 31 and the test sub-board 2, and generate a test result based on the test signal.

[0057] In the application, the voltage regulator receives the power supply signal through the IN pin, is grounded through the GND pin, and outputs the feedback signal through the OUT pin. Since the pin types and pin arrangement sequences of voltage regulators of different package types are different, and even the pin arrangement sequences of voltage regulators of the same package type are different, after determining the pin types of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested, the working state of the control pin configuration component 31 can be controlled so that the detection signal output by the power supply unit 11, i.e., the power supply signal, can be sent to the IN pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the pin configuration component 31 and the corresponding contacts of the test sub-board 2, and the detection unit 12 can receive the feedback signal output by the OUT pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested, i.e., the test signal, through the pin configuration component 31 and the corresponding contacts of the test sub-board 2 by the working state of the control pin configuration component 31.

[0058] Exemplarily, after determining that the second pin A2 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is the IN pin and the first pin A1 is the OUT pin, by controlling the working state of the pin configuration component 31, the detection signal output by the power supply unit 11 can be sent to the second pin A2 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the pin configuration component 31 and the second contact F2 of the test sub-board 2, so that the voltage regulator 4 to be tested can receive the power supply of the power supply unit 11 to work, and then output the test signal through the OUT pin. The test signal output by the first pin A1, i.e., the OUT pin, is then sent to the detection unit 12 through the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2 and the pin configuration component 31, and the detection unit 12 can generate a test result based on the test signal.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the pin configuration component 31 includes: a first configuration unit 311 , a second configuration unit 312 and a third configuration unit 313 .

[0060] The first end of the first configuration unit 311 is connected to the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2, and the second end of the first configuration unit 311 is respectively connected to the power supply unit 11, the detection unit 12 and the common ground. When the first configuration unit 311 is in the first working state, the first configuration unit 311 is used to transmit the detection signal of the detection component 1 to the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2. When the first configuration unit 311 is in the second working state, the first configuration unit 311 is used to transmit the test signal output by the voltage regulator 4 to be tested to the detection component 1. When the first configuration unit 311 is in the third state, the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2 is connected to the common ground.

[0061] It can be understood that the pin configuration component 31 can include three configuration units: a first configuration unit 311, a second configuration unit 312 and a third configuration unit 313. These three configuration units: the first configuration unit 311, the second configuration unit 312 and the third configuration unit 313 are respectively connected to the first contact F1, the second contact F2 and the third contact on the test sub-board 2, and then respectively connected to the first pin A1, the second pin A2 and the third pin A3 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested through the first contact F1, the second contact F2 and the third contact F3.

[0062] In application, when the voltage regulator test device is connected, since the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2 is connected to the first pin A1 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested, when the first pin A1 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is an IN pin, the first configuration unit 311 is controlled to be in the first working state, so that the detection signal of the power supply unit 11 is transmitted to the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2 through the first configuration unit 311, and then transmitted to the IN pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested; if the first pin A1 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is an OUT pin, the first configuration unit 311 is controlled to be in the second working state, so that the test signal output by the OUT pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is transmitted to the detection unit 12 through the first contact F1 and the first configuration unit 311; if the first pin A1 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is a GND pin, the first configuration unit 311 is controlled to be in the third working state, so that the GND pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested can be grounded through the first contact F1 and the first configuration unit 311.

[0063] The first end of the second configuration unit 312 is connected to the second contact F2 of the test sub-board 2, and the second end of the second configuration unit 312 is respectively connected to the power supply unit 11, the detection unit 12 and the common ground. When the second configuration unit 312 is in the first working state, the second configuration unit 312 is used to transmit the detection signal of the detection component 1 to the second contact F2 of the test sub-board 2. When the second configuration unit 312 is in the second working state, the second configuration unit 312 is used to transmit the test signal output by the voltage regulator 4 to be tested to the detection component 1. When the second configuration unit 312 is in the third state, the second contact F2 of the test sub-board 2 is connected to the common ground.

[0064] Exemplarily, if the second pin A2 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is an IN pin, the second configuration unit 312 is controlled to be in the first working state, so that the detection signal of the power supply unit 11 is transmitted to the second contact F2 of the test sub-board 2 through the second configuration unit 312, and then transmitted to the IN pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested; if the second pin A2 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is an OUT pin, the second configuration unit 312 is controlled to be in the second working state, so that the test signal output by the OUT pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is transmitted to the detection unit 12 through the second contact F2 and the second configuration unit 312; if the second pin A2 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is a GND pin, the second configuration unit 312 is controlled to be in the third working state, so that the GND pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested can be grounded through the second contact F2 and the second configuration unit 312.

[0065] The first end of the third configuration unit 313 is connected to the third contact F3 of the test sub-board 2, and the second end of the third configuration unit 313 is respectively connected to the power supply unit 11, the detection unit 12 and the common ground. When the third configuration unit 313 is in the first working state, the third configuration unit 313 is used to transmit the detection signal of the detection component 1 to the third contact F3 of the test sub-board 2. When the third configuration unit 313 is in the second working state, the third configuration unit 313 is used to transmit the test signal output by the voltage regulator 4 to be tested to the detection component 1. When the third configuration unit 313 is in the third state, the third contact F3 of the test sub-board 2 is connected to the common ground.

[0066] Similarly, if the third pin A3 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is an IN pin, the third configuration unit 313 is controlled to be in the first working state, so that the detection signal of the power supply unit 11 is transmitted to the third contact F3 of the test sub-board 2 through the third configuration unit 313, and then transmitted to the IN pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested; if the third pin A3 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is an OUT pin, the third configuration unit 313 is controlled to be in the second working state, so that the test signal output by the OUT pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is transmitted to the detection unit 12 through the third contact F3 and the third configuration unit 313; if the third pin A3 of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested is a GND pin, the third configuration unit 313 is controlled to be in the third working state, so that the GND pin of the voltage regulator 4 to be tested can be grounded through the third contact F3 and the third configuration unit 313.

[0067] Among them, since there is only one IN pin, GND pin and OUT pin on a voltage regulator, when testing a voltage regulator to be tested, the working states of the configuration units corresponding to the IN pin, GND pin and OUT pin must be different. For example, if the first pin A1 of the voltage regulator to be tested 4 is an IN pin, the second pin A2 is a GND pin, and the third pin A3 is an OUT pin, then the first configuration unit 311 is controlled to be in the first working state, the second configuration unit 312 is in the third working state, and the third configuration unit 313 is in the second working state, so that the IN pin can receive the power supply of the power supply unit 11, the GND pin can be grounded, and the OUT pin can output the test signal to the detection unit 12. It can be seen that the first configuration unit 311, the second configuration unit 312 and the third configuration unit 313 will not be in the same working state at the same time.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the first configuration unit 311 includes: a first relay K1, a second relay K2 and a third relay K3. The first end of the first relay K1 is connected to the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2, and the second end of the first relay K1 is connected to the power supply unit 11. The first end of the second relay K2 is connected to the first contact F1 of the test sub-board 2, and the second end of the second relay K2 is connected to the detection unit 12.
