Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic measurement technology, and in particular to a PIN pin resistance measurement circuit, measurement method, and measurement device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic connectors and precision testing, POGO BLOCK (also known as a spring probe test module) is a high-frequency contact component widely used in circuit testing, semiconductor inspection, and PCB board verification. The conductivity of its core component, the PIN (spring probe), directly affects the transmission quality of the test signal, and conductivity resistance is one of the key parameters for measuring its performance. As the core conductive component of the POGO BLOCK, the resistance value of the PIN directly affects the integrity and stability of the test signal. Excessive contact resistance can lead to signal attenuation, increased voltage drop, and even false tests or equipment failure. Especially in high-speed signal testing (such as high-frequency PCB or chip testing), even small resistance fluctuations can cause signal reflection or noise interference, seriously affecting the reliability of test results. Therefore, ensuring that the resistance value of the PIN meets design standards (usually requiring levels as low as milliohms) is fundamental to guaranteeing the performance of the test system. Traditionally, PIN resistance measurement relies on manual operation of multimeters or simple testing equipment, but this method suffers from low efficiency, poor consistency, and susceptibility to interference, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern high-precision, large-scale automated testing. Therefore, the use of automated measuring equipment to measure PIN pins in order to improve the accuracy, stability and efficiency of PIN pin resistance detection has been widely adopted.

[0003] In related technologies, automated equipment typically uses a high-precision constant current source and a four-wire measurement method to separate the current application and voltage detection circuits, thereby eliminating the influence of wire resistance and enabling the measurement of small resistances.

[0004] However, current methods for measuring the resistance of PIN pins have the following technical problems:

[0005] Automated measuring equipment is usually equipped with high-power motors or other high-power devices. On the one hand, motors have a large leakage flux, which usually affects the surrounding electronic equipment. On the other hand, other high-power devices can also cause significant pollution to the equipment grounding, thus affecting the accuracy of weak signal extraction of precision measuring instruments, resulting in poor measurement accuracy and repeatability, which needs to be optimized.

[0034] This application provides a PIN pin resistance measurement circuit, including a current source module, a sampling module, and a signal conversion module. The current source module has an output terminal and is used to generate and output a constant current excitation signal. The sampling module has an input terminal and an output terminal; the input terminal of the sampling module is coupled to the output terminal of the current source module, and the output terminal of the sampling module is coupled to a first terminal of the load under test.

Meanwhile, the term “and / or” as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0047] This application was made by the inventor based on his understanding and research into the following issues:

[0048] In related technologies, automated equipment typically uses a high-precision constant current source and a four-wire measurement method to separate the current application and voltage detection circuits, thereby eliminating the influence of wire resistance and enabling the measurement of small resistances.

[0049] However, current methods for measuring the resistance of PIN pins have the following technical problems:

[0050] Automated measuring equipment is usually equipped with high-power motors or other high-power devices. On the one hand, motors have a large leakage flux, which usually affects the surrounding electronic equipment. On the other hand, other high-power devices can also cause significant pollution to the equipment grounding, thus affecting the accuracy of weak signal extraction of precision measuring instruments, resulting in poor measurement accuracy and repeatability, which needs to be optimized.

[0051] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a PIN pin resistance measurement circuit. The PIN pin resistance measurement circuit provided in this application can, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a current source module 100, a sampling module 200, and a signal conversion module 300.

[0052] The current source module 100 has an output terminal, and the current source module 100 is used to generate and output a constant current excitation signal.

[0053] The sampling module 200 has an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminal of the sampling module 200 is coupled to the output terminal of the current source module 100, and the output terminal of the sampling module 200 is coupled to the first terminal of the load under test 400. The sampling module 200 is used to sample the constant current excitation signal output by the current source module 100.

[0054] The signal conversion module 300 has a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal. The first input terminal of the signal conversion module 300 is coupled to the second terminal of the load under test 400, and the second input terminal of the signal conversion module 300 is coupled to the reference signal source 500.

[0055] Specifically, the signal conversion module 300 is configured to, in response to the output voltage signal of the load under test 400, enter a sampling integration stage, and perform integration conversion on the voltage signal within a preset charging time window to obtain a first clock pulse count; in response to the end of the charging time window, the signal conversion module 300 enters a negative integration stage, and the signal conversion module 300 connects to a reference voltage signal, discharges based on the reference voltage signal, obtains a discharge window time and a second clock pulse count, and determines the resistance measurement value of the load under test 400 based on the reference voltage signal, the first time pulse count and the second clock pulse count.

[0056] For example, the signal conversion module 300 can be divided into three stages of processing during operation. First, in the sampling and integration stage, the input voltage is charged within the charging window time T1, causing the integrator output to rise linearly, with the voltage amplitude proportional to the input voltage. Simultaneously, a counter records the first clock pulse count N1. Then, after the charging window time ends, the signal conversion module 300 switches to discharging based on the reference voltage signal (Vref), at which point the integrator output decreases linearly. The discharge window time T2 is proportional to the reference voltage signal (Vref), and a counter records the second clock pulse count N2. Finally, the signal conversion module 300 can output a digital value D = (N2 / N1)·Vref representing the measured resistance value of the load under test 400, achieving voltage-time-digital conversion.

[0057] By implementing the above-described PIN pin resistance measurement circuit, the following beneficial effects can be achieved:

In response to the end of the charging time window, the signal conversion module 300 enters a negative integration stage, connecting to a reference voltage signal and discharging based on the reference voltage signal to obtain a discharge window time and a second clock pulse count. The resistance measurement value of the load under test 400 is determined based on the reference voltage signal, the first clock pulse count, and the second clock pulse count. In practice, conventional automated measurement equipment suffers from electromagnetic leakage interference caused by high-power motors or other high-power equipment, and ground potential fluctuations caused by high-power devices leading to ground wire pollution, resulting in measurement errors.
