Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor device testing, and more specifically, to a surge testing device. Background Art

[0002] A surge is a severe pulse that occurs within only a few millionths of a second. The possible sources of surges can be divided into external lightning reasons and internal electrical equipment startup and faults, etc. Surges widely exist in industrial control and the working environments of electronic and electrical products, and can frequently cause abnormal operation, equipment failures or damages. The impact voltage of surges is mostly in the range of several hundred volts to several tens of kilovolts, and the impact current of surges is mostly in the range of several hundred amperes to several tens of kiloamperes. Therefore, taking protective measures for circuits is a common practice at present.

[0003] Currently, a surge protector is usually added to the device under test to protect the circuit. When a high-voltage generator generates a surge, the surge protector can effectively absorb the sudden huge energy to protect the device under test from being damaged. The basic components used in surge protectors include gas discharge tubes, varistors, etc. However, after the gas discharge tube conducts, if the working voltage of the device under test is higher than the on-state voltage of the gas discharge tube, the gas discharge tube will remain in the conducting state all the time, and a large current at the ampere level passes through the circuit for a long time, which easily causes the gas discharge tube in the surge protector to still maintain the existence of the arc channel of the gas discharge tube after discharging the overcurrent, resulting in a follow-current phenomenon.

[0004] The existence of the follow-current phenomenon is very harmful to the gas discharge tube itself and the protected device under test. The continuous follow-current phenomenon will cause the gas discharge tube to generate a large amount of heat in a short time, resulting in damage to components such as switches, relays, fuses, etc. in the circuit of the device under test. In severe cases, it will also cause the device under test to heat up and catch fire, resulting in sample damage and inability to work normally. The follow-current phenomenon may also cause the current in the device under test to flow back into the high-voltage generator connected to the device under test, causing faults in the high-voltage generator, resulting in problems such as waveform distortion and increased impact waveform parameter errors, and ultimately causing a decline in the performance of the high-voltage generator. In severe cases, it will cause damage to the high-voltage generator.

[0005] Therefore, how to avoid the current in the device under test flowing back into the high-voltage generator connected to the device under test and causing faults in the high-voltage generator is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art.

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] Based on the content recorded in the background art, the inventor found that during the invention and creation process of the present invention, a surge protector is usually added to the test equipment to protect the circuit. When the high-voltage generator generates a surge, the surge protector can limit the instantaneous overvoltage that intrudes into the power line and signal transmission line within the voltage range that the test equipment can withstand, or discharge the powerful lightning current into the ground to protect the test equipment from being damaged by the impact. The basic components used in the surge protector include gas discharge tubes, varistors, etc. However, after the gas discharge tube is turned on, if the working voltage of the test equipment is higher than the on-state voltage of the gas discharge tube, the gas discharge tube will always be in the on state, and a large current of amperage level will pass through the circuit for a long time, which is likely to cause the gas discharge tube in the surge protector to still maintain the existence of the arc channel of the gas discharge tube after discharging the overcurrent, resulting in a follow-current phenomenon.

[0035] The existence of the follow-current phenomenon is very harmful to the gas discharge tube itself and the protected test equipment. The continuous follow-current phenomenon will cause the gas discharge tube to generate a large amount of heat in a short time, resulting in damage to the components in the circuit of the test equipment such as switches, relays, fuses, etc. In severe cases, it will also cause the test equipment to heat up and catch fire, resulting in sample damage and inability to work normally; the follow-current phenomenon may also cause the current in the test equipment to flow back to the high-voltage generator connected to the test equipment, causing the high-voltage generator to malfunction, resulting in problems such as waveform distortion and increased error of the impact waveform parameters, ultimately resulting in a decline in the performance of the high-voltage generator, and in severe cases, it will cause damage to the high-voltage generator; therefore, how to avoid the current in the test equipment flowing back to the high-voltage generator connected to the test equipment and causing the high-voltage generator to malfunction is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

[0036] Based on this, the present application provides a surge test device, which solves the technical problem that the current in the test equipment flows back to the high-voltage generator connected to the test equipment and causes the high-voltage generator to malfunction.

[0037] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention provide a surge test device, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1Schematic diagram of a surge test device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, in combination with Figure 1 , the surge test device includes: a high-voltage generator 1 and a window period module 2; the first end of the high-voltage generator 1 is connected to the first end of the window period module 2, the second end of the window period module 2 is connected to the first end of the device under test 3, and the second end of the device under test 3 is connected to the second end of the high-voltage generator 1; the window period module 2 is configured to be in a closed state when the high-voltage generator 1 outputs a surge pulse, and in an open state when the high-voltage generator 1 stops outputting the surge pulse.

[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the high-voltage generator 1 is a highly reliable simulated lightning surge generator specifically designed and produced for lightning protection product manufacturers. It is applicable to the lightning surge immunity test in electromagnetic compatibility tests. The high-voltage generator 1 can test the impulse current absorption capacity of relevant electronic components, overvoltage protectors, electrical circuits, etc., as well as the anti-interference ability to impulse current, so as to provide an accurate and ideal basis for evaluating the immunity of each port of the device under test 3 when subjected to instantaneous overvoltage disturbances, and has the advantages of stable performance, intelligence, simple operation, etc.; the device under test 3 includes but is not limited to a lightning protection module, etc. When performing a surge test on the device under test 3, generally, the device under test 3 is connected to the power supply port for power-on testing. When the discharge channel of the high-voltage generator 1 is opened, the current of the device under test 3 will also flow back into the high-voltage generator 1, resulting in burning out the high-voltage generator 1; and the window period module 2 in the surge test device provided by the embodiment of the present invention will timely disconnect the circuit connecting the high-voltage generator 1 and the device under test 3 after the high-voltage generator 1 releases a surge pulse, avoiding the current in the device under test 3 from flowing back into the high-voltage generator 1 and playing a role in protecting the high-voltage generator 1; in addition, as Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of another surge test device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 in which the window period module 2 includes but is not limited to a window period switch, the first end of the window period switch is connected to the first end of the high-voltage generator 1, and the second end of the window period switch is connected to the first end of the device under test 3.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, a surge test device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a high-voltage generator 1 and a window period module 2. The first end of the high-voltage generator 1 is connected to the first end of the window period module 2. The second end of the window period module 2 is connected to the first end of the device under test 3. The second end of the device under test 3 is connected to the second end of the high-voltage generator 1. The window period module 2 is configured to be in a closed state when the high-voltage generator 1 outputs a surge pulse and in an open state when the high-voltage generator 1 stops outputting the surge pulse. It is equivalent to disconnecting the circuit connecting the high-voltage generator 1 and the device under test 3 at the end of the waveform of a complete surge pulse to form a trigger window period, and the trigger window period should include a complete surge pulse waveform, so as to avoid the current in the device under test 3 flowing back into the high-voltage generator 1 connected to the device under test 3 after the high-voltage generator 1 releases a complete surge pulse waveform, causing the high-voltage generator 1 connected to the device under test 3 to malfunction, resulting in waveform distortion and an increase in the error of the impact waveform parameters, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test results and improving the reliability and safety of the device. At the same time, it can also avoid the phenomenon of continuous current in the gas discharge tube of the device under test 3, and further avoid the components in the circuit of the device under test 3 such as switches, relays, and fuses being damaged due to the continuous current phenomenon, causing the device under test 3 to heat up and catch fire, and being able to reduce the occurrence of abnormal tripping of the device under test 3 due to the continuous current phenomenon.

[0041] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the technical feature that the window period module 2 in the above-mentioned surge test device is in a closed state when the high-voltage generator 1 outputs a surge pulse and in an open state when the high-voltage generator 1 stops outputting the surge pulse is further described as follows:

[0042] The ratio of the duration of the window period module 2 in the closed state to the half-peak time of the surge pulse is greater than or equal to 1.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the half-peak time of the surge pulse refers to the time interval from the starting point of the occurrence of the surge pulse to when the voltage or current of the surge pulse drops to 50% of its peak value. The duration of the window period module 2 in the closed state is more than 1 times this time interval. It should be noted that the shorter the duration of the window period module 2 in the closed state, the better, but it is necessary to ensure that when the window period module 2 is in the closed state, the high-voltage generator 1 can output a complete surge pulse waveform. The duration of the window period module 2 in the closed state should not be too long, otherwise it will cause the voltage in the device under test 3 to be continuously applied to the internal resistance of the high-voltage generator 1, resulting in the high-voltage generator 1 being burned out.

[0044] When the voltage waveform of the surge pulse output by the high-voltage generator 1 is a 1.2 / 50 μs open-circuit voltage waveform and the current waveform of the surge pulse is an 8 / 20 μs short-circuit current waveform, the duration range of the window period module 2 in the closed state is not less than 50 μs.

[0045] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the 1.2 / 50 μs open-circuit voltage waveform means that the time for the voltage of the surge pulse to rise from the occurrence starting point to its peak value is 1.2 μs, and the time for the voltage of the surge pulse to drop from the occurrence starting point to 50% of its peak value is 50 μs; the 8 / 20 μs short-circuit current waveform means that the time for the current of the surge pulse to rise from the occurrence starting point to its peak value is 8 μs, and the time for the current of the surge pulse to drop from the occurrence starting point to 50% of its peak value is 20 μs; to ensure that the duration of the window period module 2 in the closed state can enable the high-voltage generator 1 to output a complete surge pulse waveform, the duration range of the window period module 2 in the closed state should not be less than 50 μs, that is to say, when the surge test device conducts a high-voltage impact test of 1.2 / 50 μs - 8 / 20 μs, the window period of the window period module 2 should not be less than 50 μs.

[0046] When the voltage waveform of the surge pulse output by the high-voltage generator 1 is a 10 / 700 μs open-circuit voltage waveform and the current waveform of the surge pulse is a 5 / 320 μs short-circuit current waveform, the duration range of the window period module 2 in the closed state is not less than 700 μs.

[0047] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the 10 / 700 μs open-circuit voltage waveform means that the time for the voltage of the surge pulse to rise from the occurrence starting point to its peak value is 10 μs, and the time for the current of the surge pulse to drop from the occurrence starting point to 50% of its peak value is 700 μs; the 5 / 320 μs short-circuit current waveform means that the time for the current of the surge pulse to rise from the occurrence starting point to its peak value is 5 μs, and the time for the current of the surge pulse to drop from the occurrence starting point to 50% of its peak value is 320 μs; to ensure that the duration of the window period module 2 in the closed state can enable the high-voltage generator 1 to output a complete surge pulse waveform, the duration range of the window period module 2 in the closed state is not less than 700 μs, that is to say, when the surge test device conducts a high-voltage impact test of 10 / 700 μs - 5 / 320 μs, the window period of the window period module 2 should not be less than 700 μs.

[0048] It should be noted that the voltage waveform and current waveform of the surge pulse output by the high-voltage generator 1 include, but are not limited to, the voltage waveform and current waveform of the surge pulse illustrated in the above two examples. The durations of different types of surge pulses are different, and the duration for which the window period module 2 is in the closed state can be determined according to the duration of different types of surge pulses output by the high-voltage generator 1. That is to say, the window period module 2 can automatically control the cut-off time according to the types of surge pulses output by the high-voltage generator 1.

[0049] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the high-voltage generator 1 in the above-mentioned surge test device is further described. Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a circuit schematic diagram of another surge test device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In combination with Figure 3 , the specific description of the high-voltage generator 1 is as follows:

[0050] The high-voltage generator 1 includes: an energy storage unit 4, a surge pulse forming unit 5, and a first switch 6; the first end of the energy storage unit 4 is connected to the first end of the first switch 6, the second end of the first switch 6 is connected to the first end of the surge pulse forming unit 5, the second end of the surge pulse forming unit 5 is connected to the second end of the energy storage unit 4, the third end of the surge pulse forming unit 5 is connected to the first end of the window period module 2, and the fourth end of the surge pulse forming unit 5 is connected to the second end of the device under test 3; the energy storage unit 4 outputs the surge pulse to the device under test 3 through the surge pulse forming unit 5.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the connection of the third end of the surge pulse forming unit 5 to the first end of the window period module 2 is equivalent to the first end of the high-voltage generator 1; the connection of the fourth end of the surge pulse forming unit 5 to the second end of the device under test 3 is equivalent to the second end of the high-voltage generator 1.

[0052] As Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 which is a circuit schematic diagram of another surge test device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the high-voltage generator 1 is in the working state, the voltage source U charges the energy storage capacitor C through the charging resistor R1. When the voltage across the energy storage capacitor C reaches the expected voltage value, the charging of the energy storage capacitor C is stopped. The function of the charging resistor R1 is to limit the current output by the voltage source U to the energy storage capacitor C. When the first switch 6 is closed, the energy storage capacitor C outputs the surge pulse to the DUT 3 through the surge pulse forming unit 5.

[0054] As Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 FIG. is a circuit schematic diagram of another surge test device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 5 it, the surge pulse forming unit 5 includes: a first resistor Rs1, a second resistor Rm, a third resistor Rs2, and a first inductor Lm.

[0055] The first end of the first resistor Rs1 is connected to the second end of the first switch 6, and a third connection node is formed. The second end of the first resistor Rs1 is connected to the second end of the energy storage unit 4, and a fourth connection node is formed. The first end of the second resistor Rm is connected to the third connection node. The second end of the second resistor Rm is connected to the first end of the first inductor Lm. The second end of the first inductor Lm is connected to the first end of the third resistor Rs2, and a fifth connection node is formed. The second end of the third resistor Rs2 is connected to the fourth connection node. The first end of the window period module 2 is connected to the fifth connection node. The second end of the window period module 2 is connected to the first end of the DUT 3. The second end of the DUT 3 is connected to the fourth connection node. The surge pulse forming unit 5 is used to adjust the parameters of the output surge pulse based on the first resistor Rs1, the second resistor Rm, the third resistor Rs2, and the first inductor Lm.

[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first resistor Rs1 is a pulse duration forming resistor. By setting the first resistor Rs1 with different parameters, the waveform of the surge pulse formed by the high-voltage generator 1 during the pulse duration can be adjusted. The second resistor Rm is an impedance matching resistor. By setting the second resistor Rm with different parameters, the standard required impedance of the surge pulse output by the high-voltage generator 1 can be achieved.

The first inductor Lm is a rise time forming inductor. By setting the first inductor Lm with different parameters, the waveform of the surge pulse formed by the high-voltage generator 1 during the pulse rise time can be adjusted.

[0057] It should be noted that the connection manner among the first resistor Rs1, the second resistor Rm, the third resistor Rs2, and the first inductor Lm includes but is not limited to the connection manner exemplified in the embodiments of the present invention; by setting the first resistor Rs1, the second resistor Rm, the third resistor Rs2, and the first inductor Lm with different parameters, and setting different connection manners among the first resistor Rs1, the second resistor Rm, the third resistor Rs2, and the first inductor Lm, parameters such as the rising edge, duration, voltage value, etc. of the waveform of the surge pulse output by the high-voltage generator 1 can be adjusted, so as to realize the output of different types of surge pulse waveforms by the high-voltage generator 1.
