Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of measurement and testing technology, and in particular to a room-temperature dynamic aging device and method for a radio frequency digital mixed signal microsystem. Background Art

[0002] Burn-in test is the difficulty and key point in the reliability screening test process of integrated circuits, especially for products such as RF digital mixed signal microsystems with complex functions, high power and a large number of interface IOs. The customized design of the burn-in device is the core design content of this type of microsystem screening test.

[0003] RF digital mixed signal microsystems usually have the characteristics of high power consumption, complex power supply, and complex interface IO; the maximum power consumption of a single microsystem can reach tens of watts, and it often has more than five power supply voltages, especially low-voltage and high-current requirements are very high. A single microsystem may require a 1.0V power supply of more than 10A, and this type of low-voltage power supply has higher voltage accuracy requirements, and even requires the voltage value to be within ±3%; conventional burn-in test equipment usually uses a temperature chamber to provide a high temperature environment. Considering the ambient operating temperature of up to 125°C, it is necessary to reduce the high-power or low-life components on the burn-in test equipment as much as possible. Therefore, external test equipment or modules are usually used to provide power supply and clock for the components on the burn-in test equipment; but conventional integrated circuit test equipment is difficult to provide complex power supply, especially it cannot support low-voltage and high-current batch power supply; on the other hand, this type of low-voltage and high-current power supply requires a very low power transmission impedance, which is not conducive to external cable power supply, and is more suitable for power supply by integrating power modules on the PCB board to reduce the length and line resistance of the power supply line.

[0004] Therefore, such complex microsystems usually need to integrate more complex power supplies, clocks and even auxiliary test units on the aging test equipment. Among them, more multi-component devices (such as power supplies) are not suitable for working at an ambient temperature of 125°C for a long time and are easily damaged. They also have high maintenance costs and are difficult. At the same time, such complex microsystems themselves have high power consumption and costs, and require more precise independent temperature control to avoid product damage. In addition, RF digital mixed signal microsystems involve a large number of various RF transceiver signals, high-speed or low-speed digital signals, usually more than several hundred, and the cable connections are complex, and they are not suitable for operation and testing in an incubator.

[0005] In addition, unlike monolithic integrated circuits, since multiple chips are integrated inside the microsystem, the power consumption, package thermal resistance, and maximum allowable junction temperature of different chips are different. For example, when the temperature of all chips is required to reach 125°C, the temperature of one chip has reached 125°C, while the temperature of another chip may be only 115°C, which cannot achieve the required aging effect; or the aging junction temperature requirement for one chip is 125°C, while the aging junction temperature of another chip is only allowed to be 110°C; at this time, it is necessary to be able to take certain aging temperature control measures for each chip in the microsystem to achieve more precise aging temperature control and achieve the aging effect while avoiding damage to the microsystem.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to design a room-temperature dynamic aging device and method for RF digital mixed signal microsystems according to the actual working needs of specific microsystems, complete the aging test in a room temperature environment without a temperature box, improve the aging temperature consistency between multiple chips in the package, further simplify the test complexity, and facilitate large-scale cascade expansion.

[0081] While each chip in the microsystem 4 meets the conditions required for aging, the aging program of each chip has high, medium and low power mode states; when the shell temperatures of multiple chips differ greatly, the MCU 32 can notify the programmable information processing circuit 41 through the state control interface to increase or decrease the power of a specific chip and improve the consistency of the temperature of each chip.

[0082] At the initial operation, each chip in the microsystem 4 is in the medium power mode; the programmable information processing circuit 41 is the No. 1 chip, responsible for controlling the aging power mode of other chips; when the shell temperature T CN Greater than T C1 When the shell temperature T of chip N reaches 105%, MCU32 notifies programmable information processing circuit 41 to reduce the aging power of chip N.

[0083] The power of a specific chip can be adjusted by adjusting the communication rate, various clock frequencies, and resource amounts to perform local temperature increase or decrease. For example, increasing the communication rate of a chip from 1 GHz to 2 GHz can significantly increase the power of the chip.

[0086] The feedback resistor used to adjust the supply voltage value of each circuit of the adjustable power module 34 is installed on the microsystem aging test station 3 and connected to the feedback IO port of the adjustable power module 34 through a standard connector.

[0087] The aging program configuration memory 35 is connected to the aging test station 3 via a memory socket 38. The memory socket 38 is welded on the aging test station body 31, and the aging program configuration memory 35 can be plugged in and replaced at will.

[0088] The status display module 36 has an LCD screen. The MCU 32 can control the status display module 36 to scroll and display the working status of the workstation, including the voltage and current of each power supply, and the monitoring status reported by the RF digital mixed signal microsystem 4 to be tested.

[0089] The RF signal transceiver circuit 42 has 4 RF transmission channels and 4 RF receiving channels. Each RF channel is connected to the aging test station 3 through an aging test fixture, and each RF transmission channel on the aging test station 3 is connected to an RF receiving channel through a capacitor to complete the RF signal transmission and reception self-loop.

[0090] The programmable information processing circuit 41 has several groups of high-speed IO interfaces 411, each group of high-speed IO interfaces 411 is connected to the aging test station 3 through an aging test fixture, and the output port of each group of high-speed IO interfaces 411 on the aging test station 3 is connected to the input port of the same group through a capacitor to complete the self-loop of transmission and reception of the high-speed IO interface 411.

[0094] When MCU 32 receives the aging start instruction and control temperature parameters issued by the aging control processor 1, it controls the adjustable power supply module 34 to supply power to the RF digital mixed signal microsystem 4 and the heating device 333 to be tested; at the same time, it compares the shell temperature T of the microsystem 4 reported by the temperature detection device 334. C and the junction temperature T reported autonomously by the microsystem 4 J , when T C and T J When the absolute value of the difference does not exceed 5℃, take T C and T J The average value is taken as the temperature detection result; when the temperature detection result is lower than the required control temperature, the heating device 333 is powered on, and the fan of the heat dissipation device 332 is turned off or the speed is reduced; when the temperature detection result is higher than the required control temperature, the heating device 333 is powered on or the fan speed of the heat dissipation device 332 is increased.

[0095] The data reported by each aging test station 3 received by the aging control processor 1 include: the voltage and current of each supply line of the adjustable power supply module 34, the status data reported by the microsystem 4, the shell temperature T C 、Microsystem 4 junction temperature T J and MCU 32 status data; the aging control processor 1 calculates the total power consumption of the microsystem 4 according to the reported power supply voltage and current of each circuit; when the total power consumption of the microsystem 4, the voltage or current of each circuit, and the shell temperature T of the microsystem 4 of a certain aging test station 3 are C 、Microsystem 4 junction temperature T J When any data exceeds the maximum value preset by the user, the MCU 32 of the workstation is notified to power off, and the fault data is recorded to indicate the cause of the fault.

[0096] The microsystem 4 integrates M chips, each of which has its own junction temperature, which are T J1 、T J2 、T J3 and T JMThe junction temperature of each chip is different. The programmable information processing circuit 41 collects the junction temperature of each chip through the internal communication of the microsystem 4 and reports it to the MCU 32 and the aging control processor 1. When the MCU 32 controls the temperature, the highest junction temperature of each chip is taken as the junction temperature T of the microsystem 4. J , and control the temperature as above.

[0097] The aging method comprises the following steps:

[0098] First, the external power supply is turned on to supply power to the microsystem aging device, and the aging control processor 1 on the microsystem aging device starts the initial program to detect the working status of the device, and after confirming that the working status is normal, it notifies the host computer.

[0099] Secondly, the user sets the preset working state requirements of each microsystem burn-in test station 3 through the host computer software, including parameters such as whether to start, burn-in temperature control temperature, maximum power consumption allowed, maximum current of each power supply, etc., and sends instructions to the burn-in control processor 1 at one time;

[0100] After receiving the instruction, the burn-in control processor 1 notifies the MCU 32 of the corresponding burn-in test station 3 to start burn-in according to the instruction, and sets the configurable clock generator to provide a reference clock for the corresponding station;

[0101] After receiving the start-up request, the MCU 32 of each aging test station 3 controls the adjustable power supply module 34 to supply power to the RF digital mixed signal microsystem 4 to be tested, and starts the microsystem 4 to work;

[0102] When the radio frequency digital mixed signal microsystem 4 to be tested is started, the pre-configured aging program is read from the aging program configuration memory 35 to start dynamic aging; during the aging process, the programmable information processing circuit 41 continuously detects the operation correctness of the internal programmable information processing circuit (41) according to the designed processing program and records the operation status; a 1MHz square wave signal is output from each general IO412 port; a group of designed incremental data frames are continuously output from each group of high-speed IO ports 411, and after passing through the coupling capacitor on the PCB board of the aging test station 3, they are looped back to the input end of the group of high-speed IO ports 411, and the programmable information processing circuit 41 Verify the correctness of the data frame and monitor the working status of the high-speed IO port 411; the programmable information processing circuit 41 controls the RF signal transceiver circuit 42 to complete the initialization configuration, detects its VCO lock status, and after confirming normal operation, sends the specified modulation signal from each RF transmitting port, passes through the coupling capacitor on the PCB board of the aging test station 3, and then loops back to the corresponding RF receiving port. The programmable information processing circuit 41 demodulates the received data and monitors the working status of the RF transceiver circuit; the programmable information processing circuit 41 periodically writes a set of preset data into the dynamic storage unit 43 and the static storage unit 44 in turn, and then reads back to compare the data correctness.

[0103] Since the erase and write life of the static storage unit 44 is relatively low, only on the order of 100,000 times, and the duration of dynamic aging is relatively long, at more than 160 hours, a similar steady-state life test time is required to reach more than 1,000 hours. Therefore, during each dynamic aging process, the static storage unit 44 only writes data once when it is initially powered on, and continuously reads back the data during subsequent work to compare the data correctness; while the dynamic storage unit 43 can write new data at regular intervals each time, and then read back to confirm its correctness. In addition, the read and write rate of the static storage unit 44 is relatively slow, and it takes a long time, so the read and write frequency during the aging process can be significantly lower than that of other modules. For example, during the aging process, it is necessary to continuously run the status monitoring of the programmable information processing circuit 41, the general IO412 port, the high-speed IO port and the radio frequency signal transceiver circuit 42, perform a read and write check on the dynamic storage unit 43 every 5 to 10 seconds, and perform a data read-out check on the static storage unit 44 every 30 seconds or so.

[0104] The RF digital mixed signal microsystem 4 to be tested outputs the detected programmable logic operation status, high-speed IO transceiver status, transceiver status of the RF signal transceiver circuit 42, and read / write status of the dynamic storage unit 43 and the static storage unit 44 to the LED 37 on the PCB of the aging test station 3 using an output port respectively; when the aging of each part works normally, the corresponding LED 37 is lit, so that the aging status of the microsystem 4 can be quickly judged manually.

[0105] On the other hand, the RF digital mixed signal microsystem 4 to be tested packages the self-test status information, the unique identification code ID of the microsystem 4 itself, the junction temperature of the microsystem 4, and the aging power mode status of each chip into a data frame, and sends it to the MCU 32 through the serial interface at a fixed time. The unique identification code ID of the microsystem is the factory number of each microsystem 4, which is used as the identity code of the microsystem 4 to identify and match its aging test data in subsequent data processing; the junction temperature of the microsystem 4 can be used to determine the internal working temperature of the microsystem 4 to ensure that the product is not damaged; the self-test status information reported by the microsystem 4 may include the RF transceiver data clock lock indication, the RF signal transceiver circuit 42 local oscillator lock indication, the programmable information processing circuit 41 self-test status and error count, the high-speed IO interface 411 self-test status and error count, the dynamic storage unit 43 read and write self-test status and error count, and the static storage unit 44 read and write self-test status and error count, etc., which are used to determine whether the aging of the microsystem 4 is normal.

[0106] In addition to collecting the data information reported by the RF digital mixed signal microsystem 4 to be tested, the MCU 32 also periodically reads all the supply voltage and current data of the adjustable power module 34 and the shell temperature T of the microsystem 4 tested by the temperature detection device 334. C , and then packaged and sent to the aging control processor 1.

[0107] The temperature detection device 334 has multiple detection points, which contact different areas on the upper surface of the microsystem 4 respectively, and are used to detect the temperature of each important chip integrated in the microsystem 4. The monitoring temperature of chip No. 1 is T C1 , the monitoring temperature of chip M is T CM The corresponding temperatures are reported to the MCU 32 respectively, and can be used to accurately control the aging temperature of the microsystem 4.

[0108] The programmable information processing circuit 41 is usually defined as chip No. 1. C1 Or the highest temperature among the temperature detection points is taken as the shell temperature T of the whole microsystem C .

[0109] When controlling the heating and cooling of the microsystem 4 as a whole, the MCU 32 first receives the shell temperature T of the microsystem 4 measured by the temperature detection device 334. C and the junction temperature T of the microsystem 4 reported by the microsystem 4 itself J , because of the junction-to-shell thermal resistance, there is a certain temperature difference between the two, and the measurement accuracy of the temperature detection device 334 and the on-chip temperature sensor inside the microsystem 4 is not high, usually with an error of ±2 to 3°C; therefore, in actual control, when T C and T J When the absolute value of the difference does not exceed 10℃, take T C and T JThe average value of is taken as the temperature detection result, and the temperature detection result is compared with the preset dynamic aging temperature to determine whether the temperature should be raised or lowered; when T C and T J When the absolute value of the difference is greater than 10° C., the temperature detection may be abnormal, and the MCU 32 should control the adjustable power module 34 of this station to stop supplying power and report the error alarm status information.

[0110] For the temperature difference control among multiple chips in the microsystem 4, the method adopted is as follows:

[0111] Each chip in the microsystem 4 meets the necessary conditions for aging, and the aging program of each chip has high, medium and low power modes; at the initial operation, each chip in the microsystem 4 is in the medium power mode; when the aging starts, the shell temperature of the entire microsystem 4 is T C When the temperature rises to 90% of the preset temperature, the MCU 32 starts to notify the programmable information processing circuit 41 to control the burn-in power mode of other chips.

[0112] If within the set time t, the case temperature of chip N is T CN Always greater than T C1 105%, then the MCU 32 needs to notify the programmable information processing circuit 41 to reduce the aging power of chip N; when the shell temperature T of chip N CN Always less than T C1 When the temperature of the chip is greater than 95%, the MCU 32 notifies the programmable information processing circuit 41 to increase the aging power of the chip N. C1 When the shell temperature of all other chips is less than T C1 When the power consumption is 95%, the MCU 32 notifies the programmable information processing circuit 41 to reduce its own aging power.

[0113] In addition, if the aging temperature requirements of different chips in the microsystem 4 are different, for example, the aging setting temperature of the programmable information processing circuit 41 is T1, and the setting temperature of the radio frequency signal transceiver circuit 42 is T2 (T1>T2), then when T C2 Greater than T C1 -(T1-T2) is 105%, the aging power of the RF signal transceiver circuit 42 should be reduced. C2 Less than T C1 -95% of (T1-T2), the aging power of the radio frequency signal transceiver circuit 42 should be increased.

[0114] When the aging is finished, the cooling phase begins, and the MCU 32 notifies the programmable information processing circuit 41 to put all chips into a low-power mode until the cooling is completed.

[0115] The operating states of the heating device 333 of the microsystem aging test fixture 33 are divided into full-power operation, half-power operation and off, and the fan of the heat dissipation device 332 can adjust the speed, and the above adjustments can be controlled by the MCU 32. During the aging temperature control process by MCU 32, at the initial operation, MCU 32 controls the heating device 333 to run at full power and the cooling fan is turned off until the temperature detection result of the microsystem 4 is only 5°C lower than the preset aging temperature, at which time MCU 32 controls the cooling fan to turn on and run at a lower speed; when the temperature detection result of the microsystem 4 is 1°C higher than the preset aging temperature, MCU 32 controls the heating device 333 to run at half power and increases the cooling fan speed over time; if the temperature detection result of the microsystem 4 is 3°C higher than the preset aging temperature, MCU 32 controls the heating device 333 to turn off and the cooling fan to run at the highest speed; when the temperature detection result of the microsystem 4 is again lower than the preset aging temperature by 1°C, MCU 32 controls the heating device 333 to run at half power and reduces the cooling fan speed over time; if the temperature detection result of the microsystem 4 is 3°C lower than the preset aging temperature, MCU 32 controls the heating device 333 to run at full power.

[0116] The MCU 32 outputs the aging working status, temperature, voltage and current of each power supply of the microsystem 4 to the status display module 36, which is scrolled and displayed on the LCD screen for easy manual monitoring.

[0117] The aging control processor 1 receives the voltage and current of each power supply reported by the MCU 32, the status data reported by the microsystem 4, and the shell temperature T of the microsystem 4. C 、Microsystem 4 junction temperature T J After the MCU 32 status data is obtained, the total power consumption of the microsystem 4 is calculated according to the reported power supply voltage and current of each circuit; when the total power consumption of the microsystem 4, the voltage or current of each circuit, and the shell temperature T C 、Microsystem 4 junction temperature T J When any data exceeds the maximum value preset by the user, the MCU 32 of the workstation is notified to power off, and the fault data is recorded to indicate the cause of the fault; all aging data are uploaded to the host computer for storage to facilitate data backtracking and comparison.

[0118] The aging program configuration memory 35 is connected to the aging test station 3 through a memory socket 38. The memory socket 38 is welded on the aging test station 3, and the aging program configuration memory 35 can be plugged in and replaced at will. Therefore, there is no need to burn the program configuration memory 35 at each station. You only need to take out the memory, batch burn it on a special burning board, and then install it back on the aging test station 3 for use.

[0119] The adjustable power supply module 34 is designed as an independent universal micro power supply module based on PCB board design, which can be electrically connected and installed with the microsystem aging test station 3 through standard connectors; the adjustable power supply module 34 is designed to include multiple power supplies, and the voltage value of each power supply can be adjusted by the resistance value of an external feedback resistor, which is installed on the microsystem aging test station 3 and connected to the feedback IO port of the adjustable power supply module 34 through a standard connector; therefore, although there are many types of power supply voltages required on the aging test station 3, and each adjustable power supply module 34 needs to output a different voltage, a unified adjustable power supply module 34 can be used for installation in this design, and its output voltage is determined by the corresponding port of the aging test station 3.
