Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power modules, and in particular to a power module VBS operating current test circuit and test method. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) are power drive products that combine power electronics and integrated circuit technologies. They combine the advantages of high current, low saturation voltage, and high withstand voltage of GTRs (high-power transistors) with the high input impedance, high switching frequency, and low drive power of MOSFETs (field-effect transistors). During the production process of power modules, some defective products are inevitable. Parametric testing can effectively screen out substandard products that do not meet specifications, preventing them from entering the market and thus improving overall product quality. Regular parametric testing of high-voltage integrated circuits can monitor quality changes during the production process, promptly identify problems, and take corrective measures. This helps ensure stable and consistent product quality. Parametric testing is an indispensable step in the R&D of high-voltage integrated circuits.

[0003] With the rapid development of power electronics, the development trend of power devices is intelligentization and integration. Power modules integrate high-voltage ICs, power chips and other devices. We test a large number of product parameters. For example, among the more than 500 parameters of a module, 70% are IC parameters, and the remaining 30% are also related to ICs. VBS is the core parameter of the IC in the module. It is a necessary test item during the product development stage and the factory production process.

[0004] However, current VBS high-side operating current testing may have the following issues: insufficient detection accuracy, which may result in significant deviations between the measured current and the actual value. Factors such as ambient electromagnetic interference and temperature fluctuations may affect the accuracy of the measurement results. For example, strong electromagnetic fields may cause errors in the measuring instrument. Dynamic current measurement is difficult: In actual operation, the VBS high-side current may change dynamically, and traditional measurement methods may have difficulty accurately capturing these dynamic current changes, resulting in low test accuracy and poor reliability.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for testing the VBS operating current of a power module. The testing method is implemented based on the power module VBS operating current testing circuit of the first embodiment. The testing method includes the following steps:

[0046] S1. Place the sample to be tested on the test fixture and fix the sample to be tested;

[0047] S2. Connect the first relay K1, the second relay K2, and the third relay K3 to the test sample without power supply, so that the circuit remains open.

[0051] S6: After the test is completed, the first relay K1, the second relay K2 and the third relay K3 are disconnected;

The power module VBS operating current testing method according to claim 5, characterized in that: The S5 specifically includes the following steps: Use a signal generator to input a square wave of 20K or more to INUH, INVH, and INWH to test the operating current of the VBU phase. Turn on the power to the VBU, and then disconnect the second relay and the third relay. At this time, the value measured by the current detector is the VBS operating dynamic current.
