Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "several" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0029] Embodiment 1: A specific embodiment of the present invention provides a temperature control circuit automatic testing system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: The MCU control module, as the "central nervous system" of the system, has the ability to send control signals to other modules, and can efficiently receive and process feedback test data from the test module, power module, and temperature acquisition module to accurately determine the performance status of the device under test. Relying on the powerful computing and communication capabilities of the microcontroller, the module has built-in intelligent algorithms and data processing procedures to ensure the orderly issuance of test instructions and effective analysis of test results.

[0030] The test module, in which the relay switching module integrates the power supply switching module, the resistance switching module, and the power-on asynchronous switching module, uses multiple high-quality relays to configure test resources on demand. The power supply switching module can flexibly connect the device under test with different voltage power supplies in the power module to explore its performance under various power supply voltages; the resistance switching module realizes the switching of the device under test with different resistance channels, and analyzes the impact of resistance changes on device performance; the power-on asynchronous switching module focuses on adjusting the connection method between the pins of the device under test and the MCU, simulating the performance of the device under different voltage levels. The I / O test module can drive the relay switching module to operate, and at the same time connect to the device under test, input preset logic test signals, monitor the output in real time, and obtain logic test data. With precise logic level control and data acquisition capabilities, it provides strong support for comprehensive testing.

[0031] The power module is subdivided into power supply for equipment and power supply for tested components. The former serves as the cornerstone of the overall system power supply to ensure the stable operation of each module; the latter, as a programmable power supply, strictly follows the MCU instructions, outputs the precise power resources required for the test, and adapts to the power requirements of different test stages.

[0032] The temperature acquisition module, in which the temperature test module flexibly adjusts the test environment temperature within the setting range of -55℃ to 125℃ according to the MCU control signal, controls the temperature accuracy and stability with high-precision temperature control components and sensors. The data acquisition module directly interacts with the device under test to collect its key parameters such as voltage, current, signal frequency, etc. during different temperature test processes, and feeds back the data to the MCU control module in real time to build a complete temperature-performance data chain.

[0033] This specific implementation also provides a test method based on the above-mentioned temperature control circuit automatic test system, that is, a temperature control circuit automatic test method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included: The MCU control module sends control signals to the test module, power module, and temperature acquisition module; The test module tests the device under test according to the control signal of the MCU control module to obtain test data; The power module supplies power according to the control signal of the MCU control module to obtain the power required for the test; The temperature acquisition module adjusts the temperature of the test environment according to the control signal of the MCU control module, collects the data of the device under test at different temperatures, and feeds the collected data back to the MCU control module to obtain the test data at different temperatures; The MCU control module receives the test data to judge the performance of the device under test.

[0034] During the specific implementation, the operator connects the device under test to the test module, and the MCU control module to the host computer, which is a computer device. The operator inputs the test instructions through the host computer. After the MCU control module receives the test instructions from the host computer, it analyzes and processes the test instructions and sends the corresponding working signal to the corresponding module. After receiving the working signal, the corresponding module starts the corresponding test process for the device under test.

[0035] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the step test module tests the device under test according to the control signal of the MCU control module, including: Power supply switching test: The test module connects the device under test to power supplies of different voltages in the power module, and provides the MCU control module with test data of the device under test at different power supply voltages; Resistance switching test: The test module connects the device under test to channels with different resistance values, and provides the MCU control module with test data of the device under test in different resistance states; Power-on asynchronous test: The test module connects different pins of the device under test to the MCU control module, and provides the MCU control module with test data of the device under test at different voltage levels; Logic test: The test module inputs logic test signals to the device under test and provides logic test data of the device under test to the MCU control module.

[0036] When performing a power supply switching test, the relay switching module switches the power supply of the component under test by switching the connection between the internal relay and the different power supply voltages in the power module. The power supply for the component under test in the power module is a linear power supply that converts AC to DC.

[0037] When performing a resistance switching test, the relay switching switch module is connected to different resistance channels by switching internal relays. In this specific implementation, a number of relays are connected to different AD channels in the relay switching switch module. According to the signal of the MCU control module, the relays connected to different AD channels are connected to the device under test to achieve the acquisition of analog signal response data of the device under test in different resistance states.

[0038] When performing a power-on asynchronous test, the relay switching module is internally configured with multiple relays, each relay corresponds to a test pin of the device under test, and different relays are activated at different time points according to the received signal from the MCU control module. Various parts of the device under test are powered on under different voltage conditions, realizing the simulation of a power-on asynchronous situation.

[0039] When performing logic testing, the I / O test module inputs signals to the device under test after receiving test instructions, and collects output signals after the device under test is running. The I / O test module sends the output signals of the device under test to the MCU control module for judgment, and obtains the test results of the logical function integrity test of the device under test.

[0040] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the power supply module supplies power according to the control signal of the MCU control module, including: The power module receives the control signal from the MCU control module and determines the required power supply configuration; According to the required power supply configuration, activate the power supply channel that provides the corresponding voltage for the test module to connect; After the test module is connected, it provides power of corresponding voltage to the device under test.

[0041] The device power supply in the power module continues to serve as the main power supply to power the entire test system. After parsing the control signal received from the MCU control module, the power supply of the tested component compares it with the power supply configuration of the tested component power supply itself to determine the required power supply configuration parameters, and then activates the corresponding voltage generation unit to make the power supply channel corresponding to the voltage required for the test enter the working state, so as to connect the corresponding relay in the test module, thereby realizing the power supply for the power supply switching test of the tested device.

[0042] Among them, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the temperature acquisition module adjusts the temperature of the test environment according to the control signal of the MCU control module, collects the data of the device under test at different temperatures, and feeds the collected data back to the MCU control module, including: The temperature acquisition module receives the control signal of the MCU control module, adjusts the test temperature, and obtains the state parameters of the device under test at the test temperature; Send the state parameters of the device under test to the MCU control module, adjust the test temperature to the next test temperature point, and obtain the state parameters of the device under test at the test temperature; Repeat the steps of: the temperature acquisition module receives the control signal of the MCU control module, adjusts the test temperature, obtains the state parameters of the device under test at the test temperature, and sends the state parameters of the device under test to the MCU control module, adjusts the test temperature to the next test temperature point, obtains the state parameters of the device under test at the test temperature, until all tests within the set test temperature range are completed.

[0043] After the temperature acquisition module receives the control signal from the MCU control module, its built-in temperature control chip will start the corresponding temperature adjustment mechanism according to the temperature setting value in the signal. First, the temperature control chip sends a drive signal to the cooling and heating elements connected to the test environment, such as high-precision semiconductor refrigerators and heating wires, to accurately adjust their power output to change the test environment temperature. During the temperature adjustment process, multiple high-precision temperature sensors distributed in the test environment, such as platinum resistance temperature sensors, will monitor the changes in ambient temperature in real time and feed back the temperature data to the temperature control chip. The temperature control chip uses advanced PID algorithms to analyze and process the feedback data. By continuously adjusting the working status of the cooling and heating elements, the test environment temperature quickly and stably approaches and eventually reaches the set test temperature value, and the error is controlled within a very small range, generally accurate to ±0.1°C.

[0044] When the test environment temperature stabilizes at the set value, the data acquisition unit starts working. The data acquisition unit is connected to multiple key test points of the device under test through low-noise, high-impedance signal acquisition cables, and uses a high-precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to synchronously collect various state parameters of the device under test at this temperature, such as operating voltage, operating current, key signal frequency, and internal chip temperature. After preliminary filtering, amplification, and digital processing, the collected data is transmitted to the data cache unit for temporary storage.

[0045] Subsequently, the data transmission module sends the state parameters of the device under test in the cache to the MCU control module completely and accurately according to the predetermined communication protocol, such as high-speed SPI or Ethernet protocol. After receiving the data, the MCU control module stores and organizes the data on the one hand, and performs preliminary integrity and rationality checks on the data on the other hand.

[0046] After completing the data collection and transmission at the current test temperature, the temperature acquisition module calculates the next test temperature point according to the preset test temperature sequence. Then, repeat the above temperature adjustment process again, that is, drive the cooling and heating elements through the temperature control chip to change the ambient temperature, use the temperature sensor feedback and PID algorithm to stabilize the temperature at the new set value, and then the data acquisition unit collects the state parameters of the device under test at this temperature, and sends them to the MCU control module after processing. This cycle is repeated, and within the entire set test temperature range (for example, from -55°C to 125°C), tests are performed in sequence according to the set temperature step (such as 5°C) until the test work at all temperature points is completed. During this period, the temperature acquisition module always maintains precise control and stable operation of the temperature adjustment and data acquisition process, providing comprehensive and reliable data support for the performance evaluation of the device under test in different temperature environments.

[0047] Embodiment 2: This specific embodiment provides another use scenario of a temperature control circuit automatic test system and method. The temperature control circuit automatic test system is mainly composed of an MCU control module, a test module, a power module and a temperature acquisition module. Each module works together to achieve a comprehensive test of the device under test (DUT) under different temperature and power conditions.

[0048] The MCU control module uses the STC15F2K60S2 microcontroller, which is the control center of the system. It interacts with the host computer through the RS-232 interface, receives test parameters and instructions, and coordinates the work of other modules based on the custom communication protocol. It sends control signals to the test, power supply, and temperature acquisition modules, and receives feedback data for processing and analysis. In PCB design, the layout is optimized to ensure anti-interference with other modules, decoupling capacitors are arranged around the chip, the crystal oscillator circuit is reasonably laid out, and the IO port wiring is regular to ensure signal transmission quality.

[0049] The relay switching module contains multiple relays for configuring test resources. The power supply switching module can connect the device under test to power supplies of different voltages to test the performance under different power supply voltages; the resistance switching module connects the device under test to channels of different resistance values ​​to analyze the characteristics of different resistance loads; the power-on asynchronous switching module connects the pins of the device under test to the MCU control module to simulate power-on conditions at different voltage levels.

[0050] On the one hand, the I / O test module drives the relay switching module to ensure that the test environment is configured correctly; on the other hand, it inputs logic test signals, such as pulses or logic level combinations, to the device under test, while monitoring the output signals, comparing and analyzing them to form truth table-like data, which is then transmitted to the MCU control module to determine the logical function of the device under test.

[0051] The power supply for the equipment in the power module converts AC 220V into a variety of DC voltages to power each module of the system. The power supply for the tested component uses a linear power supply with small ripple, which outputs different voltages under the control of the MCU control module to meet the test requirements of the tested device. The internal voltage and current sensors monitor the power supply parameters in real time and feed back to the MCU control module. The MCU control module monitors according to the threshold and takes measures such as cutting off the power supply or alarming when abnormal to ensure system safety.

[0052] The temperature test module is connected to the MCU control module, and uses high-precision temperature control chips and sensors to adjust the test environment temperature in the range of -55℃-125℃. By driving the cooling and heating elements to change the temperature, the sensor feedbacks data, and uses the PID algorithm for closed-loop control, the temperature reaches the target value with minimal error, providing a stable test environment.

[0053] The data acquisition module is directly connected to the device under test and connected to key test points via signal acquisition cables. It uses a high-precision ADC to synchronously collect parameters such as operating voltage, current, signal frequency, chip temperature, etc., and transmits them to the MCU control module after processing.

[0054] When using the above system to automatically test the temperature control circuit, the system is initialized and prepared first. The system is powered on, and the device power supply starts to power the module. The MCU control module is initialized and communicates with the host computer to receive instructions. The temperature acquisition module self-checks and calibrates, and feedbacks the initial temperature; the power supply module resets the output of the tested element power supply, and the device power supply reports the status after stabilization; the test module relay is reset, and the I / O test module presets the logic level and prepares for testing.

[0055] The operator sends control signals to the MCU control module through the host computer, and sends control signals to other modules through RS-232, including test module relay switching instructions, power module power configuration instructions, temperature acquisition module temperature setting and heating rate instructions. The relay switching module operates the relay according to the instructions of the MCU control module, connecting the device under test with the corresponding test resources. The I / O test module inputs the logic test signal and monitors the output, collects and analyzes the data and then feeds it back to the MCU control module. The power module parses the power configuration instructions of the MCU control module, activates the corresponding voltage channel, calibrates the current and voltage stabilization, and then supplies power to the device under test through the test module, continuously monitors and feeds back the parameters. The temperature test module receives the signal of the MCU control module, drives the cooling and heating elements to adjust the temperature, and the sensor feeds back the data, and uses the PID algorithm to control the temperature to the target value. After stabilization, the data acquisition module collects the state parameters of the device under test and transmits them to the MCU control module. After completing the current temperature test, the temperature is adjusted in sequence to continue collecting until the full temperature range test of -55℃-125℃ is completed. The MCU control module collects the test data, evaluates the performance of the device under test according to the algorithm and threshold, and records and analyzes the abnormal data. The results are transmitted to the host computer to generate a visual test report containing basic information, test data, performance evaluation and abnormal analysis, which can be saved and printed out to provide support for circuit research and development, production and quality control.
