These magnetic fields in opposite directions will cancel each other out, resulting in a weakening of the magnetic field strength in the area between the two current loops. Since stray inductance exists due to the magnetic field effect generated by the current, this weakening of the magnetic field strength will reduce the stray inductance. On the other hand, such a design of the wiring can shorten the physical length of the current loop to a certain extent, thereby reducing the stray inductance; since the chip resistor has a high-frequency bandwidth, it can provide accurate resistance values ​​within the high-frequency range, and the application range is less limited. Furthermore, compared with coaxial shunts and Rogowski coils, chip resistors are cheaper, so costs can also be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] Research has found that in high-frequency circuits, excessive inductance can cause signal delay, attenuation, and distortion. At the same time, low bandwidth can limit the frequency range in which high-frequency circuits can work effectively. Low bandwidth can also affect the quality of signals during transmission, leading to signal distortion or attenuation due to frequency limitations. In related technologies, coaxial shunts or Rogowski coils are usually used to measure current in circuits. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a shunt resistor 1' (coaxial shunt) is connected in series in the circuit under test, and the voltage signal at both ends of the shunt resistor is measured and converted into current. Figure 2 As shown, the current is measured by the mutual inductance of the Rogowski coil 2'. Figure 1 In the solution, the coaxial shunt 1' is expensive, has a low safe operating temperature, which makes it impossible to perform high-temperature double pulse tests, and has a large insertion inductance. Figure 2 In the solution, the Rogowski coil 2' has low accuracy and low bandwidth in measuring current. Therefore, a current measuring device with high bandwidth and low insertion inductance is urgently needed.

[0033] The current measurement device and the measurement method of the power semiconductor device test circuit provided in the present application are intended to solve the above technical problems of the related art.

[0034] The current measuring device and the measuring method of the power semiconductor device test circuit in the embodiment of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features in the following embodiments can complement or be combined with each other.

[0035] The present application embodiment provides a current measuring device for a power semiconductor device test circuit, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the current measuring device includes a multilayer circuit board 10 and a plurality of chip resistors 20, wherein the multilayer circuit board 10 includes at least a first circuit board 11 and a second circuit board 12 arranged opposite to each other, and the multilayer circuit board 10 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 101 penetrating the multilayer circuit board 10, and the opening direction of the first through holes 101 is parallel to the direction of the first circuit board 11 pointing to the second circuit board 12. At least two of the chip resistors 20 are connected in parallel, and each of the chip resistors 20 is respectively embedded in each of the first through holes 101 of the multilayer circuit board 10. Each of the chip resistors 20 includes a first detection end 201 and a second detection end 202 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first detection end 201 is exposed at one end of the first through hole 101 and is electrically connected to the circuit to be tested in the multilayer circuit board 10. The second detection end 202 is exposed at the other end of the first through hole 101 and is electrically connected to the circuit to be tested in the multilayer circuit board 10. The surface of the first circuit board 11 facing the second circuit board 12 is the inner surface (not shown in the figure). The orthographic projection of the wiring of the circuit to be tested connected to the first detection end 201 on the inner surface is at least partially overlapped with the orthographic projection of the wiring of the circuit to be tested connected to the second detection end 202 on the inner surface. The current direction of the wiring of the circuit to be tested connected to the first detection end 201 is at least partially opposite to the current direction of the wiring of the circuit to be tested connected to the second detection end 202. The first detection end 201 and the second detection end 202 are both used for external voltage measuring devices.

[0036] In this embodiment, multiple chip resistors 20 are embedded in the multilayer circuit board 10, and the multiple chip resistors 20 are connected in parallel and in series to the circuit to be tested. By measuring the voltage signal between the first detection terminal 201 and the second detection terminal 202 of the chip resistor 20, the current of the circuit to be tested can be measured by conversion. When the chip resistors 20 are connected in parallel, the current will be shunted in the parallel chip resistors 20, so the current intensity in each single resistor is relatively small, and the magnetic field intensity generated by the resistor is weak, and the resulting stray inductance effect will also be relatively weakened. In addition, when the chip resistors 20 are connected in parallel, the current will be shunted between the various chip resistors 20, and each chip resistor 20 will bear a part of the current, so the total current that the entire circuit can carry can be increased, that is, the circuit current capacity is improved. In addition, the chip resistor 20 is embedded in the multilayer circuit board 10. Compared with the method of directly soldering the chip resistor 20 on the surface of the circuit board, the current direction of the wiring of the circuit to be tested connected to the first detection terminal 201 is at least partially opposite to the current direction of the wiring of the circuit to be tested connected to the second detection terminal 202. According to Ampere's law, the current loop connected to the first detection terminal 201 and the current loop connected to the second detection terminal 202 can generate magnetic fields in opposite directions. These magnetic fields in opposite directions will cancel each other out, resulting in a weakening of the magnetic field strength in the area between the two current loops. Since stray inductance exists due to the magnetic field effect generated by the current, the weakening of this magnetic field strength will reduce the stray inductance. On the other hand, such a design of the wiring can shorten the physical length of the current loop to a certain extent, thereby reducing the stray inductance; since the chip resistor 20 has a high-frequency bandwidth, it can provide an accurate resistance value in the high-frequency range, and the application range is less limited. Furthermore, the chip resistor 20 is cheaper than the coaxial shunt and the Rogowski coil, so it can also reduce the cost.

[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the current measuring device also includes a surface mount component 40 (SMA , SurfaceMount Assembly).

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the first detection end 201 is directly electrically connected to the circuit to be tested on the second circuit board 12, and the second detection end 202 is electrically connected to the circuit to be tested on the first circuit board 11. In some embodiments, the first detection end 201 can be electrically connected to the circuit to be tested on the first circuit board 11 by penetrating the second circuit board 12, and the second detection end 202 can be electrically connected to the circuit to be tested on the second circuit board 12 by penetrating the first circuit board 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the chip resistor 20 on the inner surface is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through hole 101 on the inner surface, and the length of the chip resistor 20 along the opening direction is less than or equal to the distance between the side of the first circuit board 11 away from the second circuit board 12 and the side of the second circuit board 12 away from the first circuit board 11. By embedding the chip resistor 20 and making the height of the chip resistor 20 not exceed the total thickness of the multi-layer circuit board 10, the thickness of the multi-layer circuit board 10 will not be increased while embedding the chip resistor 20, which can reduce the volume of the current measuring device and increase the space available for accommodating other electronic devices on the multi-layer circuit board 10.

[0040] In some embodiments, the chip resistor 20 is clamped / welded / adhered into the first through hole 101 .

The stray inductance can be reduced while the working range is increased.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first detection end 201 of the first chip resistor 20a is electrically connected to the first detection end 201 of the second chip resistor 20b and is commonly electrically connected to the first electrical connection line 31, and the first electrical connection line 31 is connected to the circuit to be tested in the multi-layer circuit board 10; the second detection end 202 of the first chip resistor 20a is electrically connected to the second detection end 202 of the second chip resistor 20b and is commonly electrically connected to the second electrical connection line 32, and the second electrical connection line 32 is connected to the circuit to be tested in the multi-layer circuit board 10.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the third circuit board 13 is connected to any second sub-through hole 102b in the second sub-through hole group 1022 and is electrically connected to the second electrical connection line 32. In this way, when the circuit to be tested is powered on, the direction of the current flowing through the wiring of the circuit to be tested located on the third circuit board 13 is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the wiring of the circuit to be tested located on the first circuit board 11, and the magnetic fields generated by the currents flowing through the first circuit board 11 and the third circuit board 13 are opposite in direction and can cancel each other, thereby further reducing stray inductance.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the fourth circuit board 14 is connected to any first sub-through hole 102a in the first sub-through hole group 1021 and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection line 31. Similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, when the circuit to be tested is powered on, the direction of the current flowing through the wiring of the circuit to be tested on the fourth circuit board 14 is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the wiring of the circuit to be tested on the second circuit board 12, and the magnetic fields generated by the currents flowing through the fourth circuit board 14 and the second circuit board 12 are opposite in direction and can cancel each other, thereby further reducing the stray inductance.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 6As shown, the third circuit board 13 is connected to the second sub-through hole 102b in the second sub-through hole group 1022 and is electrically connected to the second electrical connection line 32. The fourth circuit board 14 is connected to the first sub-through hole 102a in the first sub-through hole group 1021 and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection line 31. In this embodiment, when the circuit to be tested is powered on, the first circuit board 11, the third circuit board 13, the fourth circuit board 14 and the second circuit board 12 are sequentially stacked and arranged in the direction from the first circuit board 11 to the second circuit board 12, wherein the direction of the current flowing through the circuit to be tested on the first circuit board 11 is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the circuit to be tested on the third circuit board 13, the direction of the current flowing through the circuit to be tested on the third circuit board 13 is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the circuit to be tested on the fourth circuit board 14, and the direction of the current flowing through the circuit to be tested on the fourth circuit board 14 is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the circuit to be tested on the second circuit board 12. Then the magnetic fields generated by the currents between adjacent circuit boards are opposite in direction and can offset each other, thereby further reducing the stray inductance.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the first SMD resistor group 21 is adjacently arranged with the first sub-through hole group 1021, the second SMD resistor group 22 is arranged on the side of the first sub-through hole group 1021 away from the first SMD resistor group 21, and the second sub-through hole group 1022 is arranged on the side of the first SMD resistor group 21 away from the first through hole group 101.
