Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of capacitor testing technology, and in particular to a capacitor high voltage withstand test response protection circuit and method. Background Technology
[0002] The new energy vehicle market is currently experiencing explosive growth, and its power supply platform has also extended from 400V to 2000V or even higher. This requires the voltage platforms of corresponding battery, power distribution, and power supply products to match, resulting in a continuous increase in demand for high-voltage MLCC (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor) capacitors, with very large production volumes.
[0003] In the field of high withstand voltage testing of MLCC capacitors, the 2000V high voltage power supply current limiting module is the last line of defense for the external output of the 2000V high voltage power supply. It controls whether the output is possible and the magnitude of the output current. It needs to withstand high withstand voltages of over 2000V while also withstanding the high heat generated by the high voltage drop, in order to avoid a series of safety hazards such as MLCC capacitor breakdown, short circuit, and fire, which could lead to losses.
[0004] Existing technical solutions typically use a single MOSFET to design current limiting modules. However, the highest withstand voltage of most commercially available MOSFETs is only 1500V. Due to the voltage withstand capability of MOSFETs, they cannot meet the requirements for long-term operation under 2000V high voltage. Moreover, when the MLCC capacitor is short-circuited during testing, it can easily lead to a series of safety hazards such as fire.
[0005] Furthermore, the current market supply of 2000V high-voltage power supplies is extremely scarce, and those with single output channels are expensive. The existing technical solution for the 2000V high-voltage withstand test station of the high-speed multi-channel sorting and testing machine for MLCC capacitors involves installing one 2000V high-voltage power supply for each track. For example, for 8-channel measurement, this requires 8 2000V high-voltage power supplies. This drastically increases the number of 2000V high-voltage power supplies needed for the high-speed multi-channel sorting and testing machine, leading to an increase in the size and number of components. Moreover, the 2000V high-voltage power supply is expensive, the control interfaces are numerous, the process is complex, and the components are plentiful. This makes large-scale, mass production difficult, unable to meet the needs of various customers, and hinders widespread application. Summary of the Invention

[0060] The capacitor high voltage withstand detection response protection circuit and method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0061] On one hand, embodiments of the present invention propose a capacitor high voltage withstand detection and response protection circuit, such as... Figure 1As shown, the circuit includes a main control module 100, a voltage generation module 200, a first current limiting module 300, a second current limiting module 400, a current limiting threshold module 500, a drive feedback module 600, a switching module 700, a constant voltage power supply module 800, and a short-circuit protection module 900. The voltage generation module 200 is electrically connected to the main control module 100 and is used to provide the detection voltage and detection current. The input terminal of the first current limiting module 300 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the voltage generation module 200. The output terminal of the first current limiting module 300 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the second current limiting module 400. The output terminal of the second current limiting module 400 is electrically connected to one end of the capacitor C0 under test, and the other end of the capacitor C0 under test is electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage generating module 200. The input terminal of the current limiting threshold module 500 is electrically connected to the main control module 100. The current limiting threshold module 500 is used to set the limiting threshold of the detection current. The output terminal of the current limiting threshold module 500 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the drive feedback module 600. The output terminal of the feedback module 600 is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the second current limiting module 400. The drive feedback module 600 is used to drive the second current limiting module 400 and also to provide feedback of the detected current to the short-circuit protection module 900. The input terminal of the switch module 700 is electrically connected to the main control module 100, and the output terminal of the switch module 700 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the drive feedback module 600. The switch module 700 is used to control the on and off states of the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400. The constant voltage power supply module 800... The output terminal is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the first current limiting module 300 to provide a constant driving voltage for the first current limiting module 300. The constant voltage power supply module 800 is also electrically connected to the main control module 100. The input terminal of the short circuit protection module 900 is electrically connected to the main control module 100 and the drive feedback module 600. The output terminal of the short circuit protection module 900 is electrically connected to the second current limiting module 400. The short circuit protection module 900 is used to turn off the second current limiting module 400 and the first current limiting module 300 when a short circuit occurs in the capacitor under test.
[0062] Specifically, the main control module 100 can be implemented using a microcontroller (MCU), PLC, FPGA, etc., and is responsible for controlling the entire circuit's operation. The main control module 100 and the voltage generating module 200 can be connected via a communication interface isolation module 1200. The communication interface isolation module 1200 can use devices such as optocouplers to electrically isolate the main control module 100 and the voltage generating module 200, ensuring safe circuit operation. The voltage generating module 200 provides the precise detection voltage and current required for detection. The first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 prevent damage to the internal circuitry of the voltage generating module 200 in case of abnormal short circuit or breakdown of the capacitor C0 under test, thus improving circuit safety. Simultaneously, the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 can distribute the detection voltage provided by the voltage generating module 200, reducing the voltage that each module needs to withstand, thereby improving the circuit's withstand voltage. The current limiting threshold module 500 is used to set a limit threshold for the detected current, so that when the detected current of the capacitor C0 under test exceeds the limit threshold, the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 are turned off, thus protecting the circuit and the capacitor C0 under test. The drive feedback module 600 drives the second current limiting module 400. When the circuit is working normally, the drive feedback module 600 drives the second current limiting module 400 to conduct; when a short circuit or other abnormal condition occurs, the drive feedback module 600 drives the second current limiting module 400 to turn off. The drive feedback module 600 also feeds back the detected current to the short-circuit protection module 900, allowing the short-circuit protection module 900 to determine whether a short circuit has occurred and, if a short circuit occurs, to turn off the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400, thus achieving short-circuit protection for the circuit. The switch module 700 prepares for the turning on and off of the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400, facilitating the control of their on / off states. The constant voltage power supply module 800 is used to output a constant driving voltage to the first current limiting module 300, so that the first current limiting module 300 can be turned on.
[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a reverse isolation module 1000 is further provided between the constant voltage power supply module 800 and the first current limiting module 300.

The anode of diode D1 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the constant voltage power supply module 800, the cathode of diode D1 is electrically connected to the anode of diode D2, the cathode of diode D2 is electrically connected to one end of the first resistor R11, and the other end of the first resistor R11 is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the first current limiting module 300. By setting the reverse isolation module 1000 between the constant voltage power supply module 800 and the first current limiting module 300, a series of risks such as high voltage feedback from the first current limiting module 300 to the constant voltage power supply module 800, thereby preventing it from burning out or being damaged, are prevented.
[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first current limiting module 300 includes a first regulating transistor Q2, a first Zener diode D3, a second resistor R16, a third resistor R19, and a second Zener diode D5.

[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the circuit further includes a voltage equalization protection module 1100, which is electrically connected to the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400, and is used to provide voltage equalization protection for the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400.

[0071] It should be noted that, in Figure 2 In the diagram, GND1 is the output reference point of the power supply voltage generation module 200, and GND2 is another reference point of the circuit, 0V.
[0072] In this application, the working principle of the current limiting threshold module 500 is as follows: The main control module 100 first sets the value of the threshold output port to DAC1. Since the input of the operational amplifier is high impedance, DAC1 = VCC13 (1); Since the "virtual short" principle of the operational amplifier is true, VCC13 = VCC12 (2); According to Kirchhoff's law (KCL), the following can be derived:
[0073] ;
[0074] From equations (1), (2) and (3), we get:
[0075] .
[0076] The working principle of the short-circuit threshold adjustment unit 910 is as follows: The main control module 100 sets the output value of the short-circuit threshold port to DAC2. Since the input terminal of the operational amplifier is high impedance, DAC2 = VCC18 (5); According to the "virtual short" principle of the operational amplifier, VCC18 = VCC17 (6); According to Kirchhoff's law (KCL), the following can be obtained:
[0077] ;
[0078] From equations (5), (6) and (7), we can obtain:
[0079] .
[0080] Therefore, before testing the capacitor C0, the values of DAC1 and DAC2 need to be set by the main control module 100. At the same time, the output value VCC28 of the constant voltage power supply module 800 also needs to be set by the main control module 100 so that the first current limiting module 300 can be turned on normally.
[0081] The working principle of the entire circuit is as follows:
[0082] (a) The circuit is operating normally:
[0083] When the main control module 100 outputs a high level at the switch control port, i.e., ON / OFF=3.3V, the pull-up resistor at the output terminal of the third operational amplifier U2 is R9, so its output voltage is VCC15=VCC9=VCC11 (9); according to the high impedance principle of the input terminal of the operational amplifier, VCC10=VCC8 (10). Let the detection current be I, then VCC8=I×R20 (11). When VCC10 is less than VCC9, according to equations (9), (10) and (11), VCC10=I×R20<VCC9. At this time, the output voltage VCC6 of the second operational amplifier U4 is +9V. After the current limiting effect of the fourth resistor R18 and the protection effect of the third Zener diode D4, the voltage value of VCC7 is limited to a stable voltage, about 8V. The voltage between the gate and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 is much greater than the turn-on voltage of the second regulating transistor Q3, so the drain and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 are in a fully conducting state. The main control module 100 sets the constant voltage power supply module 800 to output VCC28 via the control port. This output passes through diodes D1 and D2 of the reverse isolation module 1000 and the first resistor R11 to VCC2. With the current limiting effect of the second resistor R16 and the protection of the first Zener diode D3, the voltage value of VCC3 is limited to a stable voltage of approximately 8V. Since the drain and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 are fully conducting, and the resistances of R19 and R20 are very small, the voltage of VCC4 is approximately GND2. At this time, the voltage between the gate and source of the first regulating transistor Q2 is much greater than the turn-on voltage of Q2, so the drain and source of Q2 are fully conducting. Therefore, both the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 are in a conducting state. The main control module 100 sets the voltage generator module 200 to output VCC1 through the communication interface. The detected current passes through Q2, R19, Q3 and R20 and reaches GND1, which is VOUT. The capacitor under test C0 is charged and tested. The current eventually returns to GND1 of the voltage generator module 200.
[0084] The above normal working process can be simply represented as follows:
[0085] Set the ON / OFF values of DAC1, VCC28 → VCC9 is greater than VCC10 → VCC6 outputs +9V → VCC7 is approximately 8V → Q3 turns on → Q2 turns on → normal output VOUT.
[0086] (ii) Circuit output shutdown:
[0087] When the main control module 100 outputs a low level at the switch control port, i.e., ON / OFF=0V, the output voltage of the third operational amplifier U2 is -9V, i.e., VCC15=-9V; the DAC1 value is positive, and the output voltage of the current limiting threshold module 500 is affected by the DC power supply +9V, so the output voltage VCC11 is less than +9V; at the same time, the resistance of R9 is greater than the resistance of R10; from Kirchhoff's law (KCL) and equation (4), we can deduce:
[0088] ;
[0089] From the above equation (12), it can be seen that at this time, the voltage of VCC9 is less than GND2, the voltage value of the fourth pin of the second operational amplifier U4, VCC10, is greater than the voltage value of the third pin of the second operational amplifier U4, VCC9, and the output voltage of U4, VCC6, is -9V; at this time, VCC7, VCC6, and -9V are much less than the turn-on voltage of the second regulating transistor Q3, so the drain and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 are in the cut-off state. Since the drain and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 are in the cut-off state, the gate and source of the first regulating transistor Q2 cannot form a circuit, that is, the turn-on voltage of the first regulating transistor Q2 cannot be reached, so the drain and source of the first regulating transistor Q2 are in the completely cut-off state; thus, the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 are both in the disconnected state, and the voltage generating module 200 cannot output VOUT to the capacitor C0 under test.
[0090] The above process of turning off the output can be simply represented as follows:
[0091] When ON / OFF is low, VCC9 is less than VCC10, VCC6 outputs -9V, VCC7 is negative, Q3 is cut off, Q2 is cut off, and output VOUT is turned off.
[0092] (III) Short-circuit protection process:
[0093] When the main control module 100 sets the output voltage of the threshold output port to DAC1, VCC9 = 0.01V; when the main control module 100 sets the output voltage of the short-circuit threshold port to DAC2, VCC20 = 0.6V; the main control module 100 sets the constant voltage power supply module 800 output VCC28 = 9V, and the forward voltage drop of diodes D1 and D2 is 0.3V; the turn-on voltage of Q2 and Q3 is UT = 2.5V, and IDO is the ID (drain current) value of 400mA when uGS = 2UT, i.e., IDO = 400mA; the gate-source voltage of Q3 is represented by uGS1, the drain-source power supply by uDS1, and the gate-drain voltage by uGD1; the gate-source voltage of Q2 is represented by uGS2, the drain-source power supply by uDS2, and the gate-drain voltage by uGD2; according to the analytical formula of the output transfer characteristics of the enhancement-mode N-channel MOSFET:
[0094] ;
[0095] Under normal output operation, when the capacitor under test C0 is short-circuited, the detection current I increases to 10mA (reaching the user-set current limiting threshold, which is converted to voltage form as DAC1). The voltage on R20 is VCC8 = I × R20 = 10mA × 1Ω = 0.01V, so VCC10 = VCC8 = 0.01V. When the detection current I continues to increase, VCC10 also increases accordingly with VCC8. When VCC10 ≥ VCC9, the output VCC6 of the second operational amplifier U4 is in a floating state. When the current on R20 is limited to 10mA, according to the above formula (13), we can conclude that:
[0096] ;
[0097] VCC4-VCC5=I×R20=10mA×1Ω=0.01V. Let the voltage between VCC1 and GND2 be represented by VCC, then:
[0098] When VCC < VCC2×2 = (VCC28 - 0.3×2V)×2 = (9V - 0.3×2V)×2 = 16.8V, D1 and D2 are forward-biased, and the equalizing protection module does not respond. R21 = R22 = R23 = R24, and their resistance is tens or hundreds of megohms. At this time, VCC2 = VCC28 - 0.3×2V = 8.4V.
[0099] (1) When VCC < uDS1 + I × (R20 + R19) = uGS1 - UT + I × (R20 + R19) = 2.9V - 2.5V + 10mA × (1 + 1Ω) = 0.42V, uGS1 > UT, uDS1 < uGS1 - UT (uDS1 < 2.9V - 2.5V = 0.4V), the drain characteristic of Q3 enters the variable resistance region. There is a conductive channel between the drain and the source. When the detection current I flows through the conductive channel, a voltage drop occurs, making the voltage at each point on the channel different. At this time, VCC drops to the drain characteristic variable resistance region, R20 and R19, that is, VCC4 = VCC < 0.42V.
[0100] If D1 and D2 are forward conducting, then VCC2 = VCC28 - 0.3 × 2V = 9V - 0.3 × 2V = 8.4V; VCC2 is much larger than VCC, so the above assumption holds; at this time, uGS2 = VCC3 - VCC4 = VCC2 - VCC4 = 8.4V - 0.42V = 7.98V, uGS2 > UT, and uDS2 < uGS2 - UT. The drain characteristic of Q2 enters the variable resistance region, and the induced charge increases. The conductive channel between the drain and the source widens, and the drain and the source are completely connected, i.e., uDS2 = 0V;
[0101] (2) When VCC>uDS1+I×(R20+R19)=uGS1-UT+I×(R20+R19)=2.9V-2.5V+10mA×(1+1Ω)=0.42V, and VCC<VCC3-uGS2+uDS2=VCC2-uGS2+(uGS2-UT)=VCC2-UT=8.4V-2.5V=5.9V; uGS1>UT, uDS1>uGS1-UT (uDS1>2.9V-2.5V=0.4V), the drain characteristic of Q3 enters the constant current region (or saturation region). During this process, because the channel resistance of the pinch-off region is very large, when uDS1 gradually increases, the increased uDS1 almost all falls on the pinch-off region, while the voltage across the conductive channel hardly increases, that is, it remains basically unchanged, and the drain current ID remains unchanged.
[0102] From the analytical expression of the output transfer characteristic of Q2, we know that uGS2 = 2.9V. At this time, the drain and source voltages of VCC4, Q3, and Q2 are respectively:
[0103] VCC4=VCC3-uGS2=VCC2-uGS2=8.4V-2.9V=5.4V;
[0104] uDS1=VCC4-I×(R20+R19)=5.4V-10mA×(1+1Ω)=5.38V;
[0105] uDS2<VCC-VCC4=5.9V-5.4=0.4V;
[0106] At this point, the conditions uGS2 > UT and uDS2 < uGS2 - UT (uDS2 < 2.9V - 2.5V = 0.4V) are met. The drain characteristic of Q3 enters the variable resistance region. There is a conductive channel between the drain and the source. When the detection current I flows through the conductive channel, a voltage drop occurs, causing the voltage at different points on the channel to be different. At this time, the remaining voltage of VCC drops to the drain characteristic variable resistance region, that is, the drain and source voltage values of Q2 are less than VCC - VCC4 = 5.9V - 5.4 = 0.4V.
[0107] (3) When VCC > VCC3 - uGS2 + uDS2 = VCC2 - uGS2 + (uGS2 - UT) = VCC2 - UT = 8.4V - 2.5V = 5.9V, and VCC < VCC2 × 2 = (VCC28 - 0.3 × 2V) × 2 = (9V - 0.3 × 2V) × 2 = 16.8V, uGS1 > UT, uDS1 > uGS1 - UT (uDS1 > 2.9V - 2.5V = 0.4V), the drain characteristic of Q3 enters the constant current region (or saturation region). During this process, because the channel resistance of the pinch-off region is very large, when uDS1 gradually increases, the increased uDS1 almost all falls on the pinch-off region, while the voltage across the conductive channel hardly increases, that is, it remains basically unchanged, and the drain current ID remains unchanged.
[0108] From the analytical expression of the output transfer characteristic of Q2, we know that uGS2 = 2.9V. At this time, the drain and source voltages of VCC4, Q3, and Q2 are respectively:
[0109] VCC4=VCC3-uGS2=VCC2-uGS2=8.4V-2.9V=5.4V;
[0110] uDS1=VCC4-I×(R20+R19)=5.4V-10mA×(1+1Ω)=5.38V;
[0111] uDS2<VCC-VCC4=16.8V-5.4=11.4V;
[0112] At this point, the conditions ugs2 > UT and uDS2 > uGS2 - UT (uDS2 > 2.9V - 2.5V = 0.4V) are met. The drain characteristic of Q2 enters the constant current region (or saturation region). During this process, due to the large channel resistance in the pinch-off region, when uDS2 gradually increases, almost all of the increased uDS2 falls on the pinch-off region, while the voltage across the conductive channel hardly increases, that is, it remains basically unchanged, and the drain current ID remains unchanged. At this time, the remaining voltage of VCC falls to the drain characteristic variable resistance region, and the drain and source voltage values of Q3 are less than VCC - VCC4 = 16.8V - 5.4 = 11.4V.
[0113] When VCC > VCC2×2 = (VCC28 - 0.3×2V)×2 = (9V - 0.3×2V)×2 = 16.8V, D1 and D2 are cut off, and the equalizing protection module 1100 starts to respond. R21 = R22 = R23 = R24, and their electrical values are tens or hundreds of megohms. At this time, VCC2 = VCC÷2 > 16.8V÷2 = 8.4V;
[0114] When uGS1 > UT and uDS1 > uGS1 - UT (uDS1 > 2.9V - 2.5V = 0.4V), the drain characteristic of Q3 enters the constant current region (or saturation region). During this process, because the channel resistance of the pinch-off region is very large, when uDS1 gradually increases, almost all of the increased uDS1 falls on the pinch-off region, while the voltage across the conductive channel hardly increases, that is, it remains basically unchanged, and the drain current ID remains unchanged.
[0115] From the analytical expression of the output transfer characteristic of Q2, we know that uGS2 = 2.9V. At this time, the drain and source voltages of VCC4, Q3, and Q2 are respectively:
[0116] VCC4=VCC3-uGS2=VCC2-uGS2=VCC÷2-2.9V;
[0117] uDS1=VCC4-I×(R20+R19)=VCC÷2-2.9V-10mA×(1+1Ω)=VCC÷2-2.88V;
[0118] uDS2=VCC-VCC4=16.8V-5.4=VCC÷2+2.9V;
[0119] At this point, the conditions uGS2 > UT and uDS2 > uGS2 - UT (uDS2 > 2.9V - 2.5V = 0.4V) are met. The drain characteristic of Q2 enters the constant current region (or saturation region). During this process, due to the large channel resistance in the pinch-off region, when uDS2 gradually increases, almost all of the increased uDS2 drops onto the pinch-off region, while the voltage across the conductive channel hardly increases, i.e., it remains basically unchanged, and the drain current ID remains unchanged. At this time, the remaining voltage of VCC drops into the drain characteristic variable resistance region, i.e., the drain and source voltage values of Q3 are less than VCC - VCC4 = VCC ÷ 2 + 2.9V.
[0120] For example, if the voltage between VCC1 and GND2 is VCC = 2000V, then the drain and source voltages of VCC4, Q3, and Q2 are respectively:
[0121] VCC4=VCC3-uGS2=VCC2-uGS2=2000÷2-2.9V=997.1V;
[0122] uDS1=VCC4-I×(R20+R19)=VCC÷2-2.9V-10mA×(1+1Ω)=2000÷2-2.88V=997.12V;
[0123] uDS2=VCC-VCC4=16.8V-5.4=2000V÷2+2.9=1002.9V;
[0124] As can be seen from the above, under the current limiting protection state of Q2 and Q3 in series output, the voltage uDS1 between the drain and source of the two MOSFETs is approximately uDS2, which evenly distributes the VCC voltage; the series output of the enhancement-mode N-channel MOSFETs increases the output withstand voltage and solves the problem of the withstand voltage limitation of a single MOSFET.
[0125] For the short-circuit protection module 900, based on the high impedance principle of the operational amplifier input, VCC16 = VCC20, VCC19 = VCC8. From the above equation (8), we can derive:
[0126] ;
[0127] When the voltage of VCC19 is less than VCC20 (reflecting that the detection current is within the user-set short-circuit threshold range), the output voltage of the fifth operational amplifier U5 is VCC21 = +5V; at this time, the output voltage of pin 2 of inverter U3 is VCC22 = 0V (i.e., GND2), and the drain and source of Q1 are completely cut off; the voltage at point VCC7 is not affected by the accelerated shutdown unit 930; at this time, the main control module 100 receives the short-circuit impact alarm signal Over through R14, which is at a high level (i.e. +5), and the main control module 100 does not respond.
[0128] When the capacitor C0 under test is short-circuited by an impulse, a very large current flows through R20 instantaneously. This causes a sudden increase in the voltage VCC8 across R20, and VCC19 increases accordingly. When the voltage of VCC19 exceeds VCC20 (reflecting a very large detection current exceeding the user-set short-circuit threshold), the output voltage VCC21 of the fifth operational amplifier U5 becomes 0V (i.e., GND2). At this time, the output voltage of the inverter U3 is VCC22 = +5V, and the drain and source of Q1 are fully conducting. VCC7 is energized. The voltage is quickly pulled down to GND2 through the drain and source of R17 and Q1. The gate and source voltage of Q3 is 0V (i.e., GND2), which is much lower than the turn-on voltage of Q3. Therefore, the fast response of Q3 enters the cut-off state. Since Q3 enters the cut-off state, the gate and source loop of Q2 is also cut off by the fast response. It cannot form a loop, that is, it cannot reach the turn-on voltage of Q2. Therefore, the drain and source fast response of Q2 enters the cut-off state. The voltage generation module 200 cannot output VOUT to the capacitor under test C0, thus realizing the short-circuit protection of the circuit.
[0129] The short-circuit protection process can be simply represented as follows:
[0130] VCC8↑ or I↑→VCC19↑→VCC19 is greater than VCC20→VCC21↓→VCC22↑→Q1 turns on→VCC7↓→Q3 turns off→Q2 turns off→VCC8↓ or I↓→VCC19↓→VCC19 is less than VCC20→VCC21↑→VCC22↓→Q1 turns off→VCC7↑→Q3 turns on→Q2 turns on→VCC8↑ or I↑;
[0131] At this time, the main control module 100 receives the short-circuit impact alarm signal Over low level (i.e. GND2) through R14. The main control module 100 responds to the fully shut-off output function state and outputs a low level ON / OFF=0V at the switch control port. According to equation (12), at this time, the voltage of VCC9 is less than GND2, VCC10 is greater than VCC9, and the output voltage of the second operational amplifier U4 is VCC6=-9V. At this time, when the main control module 100 responds to the fully shut-off output function state, regardless of whether the voltage at point VCC7 continues to be pulled down to GND2 by the accelerated shutdown unit 930, Q2 and Q3 are both in the cut-off state, protecting the entire circuit.
[0132] The capacitor high voltage withstand test response protection circuit according to the embodiments of this application has the function of fast response protection against short circuit breakdown, thereby avoiding a series of safety hazards such as short circuit and fire of MLCC capacitors when the high-speed multi-channel sorting and testing machine tests MLCC capacitors at 2000V high withstand voltage, thus avoiding losses. The modular design of the circuit makes it easy to expand the output channels of the high voltage power supply, which can increase the output channels of the voltage generation module 200. The interface control is simple, the process is simple, the cost is reduced, and large-scale mass production can be achieved to meet the needs of various equipment and customers' various testing requirements, which is convenient for widespread use.
[0133] Secondly, based on the capacitor high-voltage withstand detection and response protection circuit described in the first aspect embodiment above, this application also proposes a capacitor high-voltage withstand detection and response protection method, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:
[0134] Step S100: The main control module 100 sets the current limiting threshold module 500 and the switch module 700 so that the drive feedback module 600 controls the second current limiting module 400 to be in the conducting state.
[0135] Step S200: Configure the constant voltage power supply module 800 through the main control module 100 to make the first current limiting module 300 in the conducting state;
[0136] Step S300: The voltage generation module 200 generates a detection voltage and a detection current, which are then passed through the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 to detect the capacitor under test.
[0137] Step S400: When a short circuit occurs in the capacitor under test, the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 are shut off by the short circuit protection module 900.
[0138] Specifically, when the circuit is working normally, the main control module 100 outputs a high level at the switch control port, i.e., ON / OFF=3.3V. The pull-up resistor at the output of the third operational amplifier U2 is R9, so its output voltage is VCC15=VCC9=VCC11 (9); according to the high impedance principle of the input terminal of the operational amplifier, VCC10=VCC8 (10). Let the detection current be I, then VCC8=I×R20 (11). When VCC10 is less than VCC9, from equations (9), (10) and (11), we can conclude that VCC10 = I × R20 < VCC9. At this time, the output voltage VCC6 of the second operational amplifier U4 is +9V. Under the current limiting effect of the fourth resistor R18 and the protection effect of the third Zener diode D4, the voltage value of VCC7 is limited to a stable voltage, about 8V. The voltage between the gate and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 is much greater than the turn-on voltage of the second regulating transistor Q3, so the drain and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 are in a fully conducting state. The main control module 100 sets the constant voltage power supply module 800 to output VCC28 through the control port. After passing through the diodes D1 and D2 of the reverse isolation module 1000 and the first resistor R11, it reaches VCC2. After the current limiting effect of the second resistor R16 and the protection effect of the first Zener diode D3, the voltage value of VCC3 is limited to a stable voltage, about 8V. Since the drain and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 are fully conducting, and the resistances of R19 and R20 are very small, the voltage of VCC4 is approximately GND2. At this time, the voltage between the gate and source of the first regulating transistor Q2 is much greater than the turn-on voltage of the first regulating transistor Q2, so the drain and source of the first regulating transistor Q2 are fully conducting. Therefore, both the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 are in the conducting state. The main control module 100 sets the voltage generation module 200 to output VCC1 through the communication interface. The detected current, after passing through Q2, R19, Q3, and R20, reaches GND1, which is VOUT. This is used to charge the capacitor C0 under test, and the current eventually returns to GND1 of the voltage generation module 200.
[0139] When the circuit is off, the main control module 100 outputs a low level at the switch control port, i.e., when ON / OFF=0V, the output voltage of the third operational amplifier U2 is -9V, i.e., VCC15=-9V; the DAC1 value is positive, and the output voltage of the current limiting threshold module 500 is affected by the DC power supply +9V, so the output voltage VCC11 is less than +9V; at the same time, the resistance of R9 is greater than the resistance of R10; as can be seen from the above formula (12), at this time the voltage of VCC9 is less than GND2, the voltage value of the fourth pin of the second operational amplifier U4, VCC10, is greater than the voltage value of the third pin of the second operational amplifier U4, VCC9, and the output voltage of U4, VCC6=-9V; at this time, VCC7=VCC6=-9V, which is much less than the turn-on voltage of the second regulating tube Q3, so the drain and source of the second regulating tube Q3 are in the cut-off state. Since the drain and source of the second regulating transistor Q3 are in the off state, the gate and source of the first regulating transistor Q2 cannot form a circuit, that is, the turn-on voltage of the first regulating transistor Q2 cannot be reached. Therefore, the drain and source of the first regulating transistor Q2 are in the completely off state. As a result, the first current limiting module 300 and the second current limiting module 400 are both in the off state, and the voltage generating module 200 cannot output VOUT to the capacitor C0 under test.
[0140] When the capacitor C0 under test is short-circuited, for the short-circuit protection module 900, based on the high impedance principle of the operational amplifier input, VCC16=VCC20, VCC19=VCC8. From the above equation (8), we can derive:
[0141] ;
[0142] When the voltage of VCC19 is less than VCC20 (reflecting that the detection current is within the user-set short-circuit threshold range), the output voltage of the fifth operational amplifier U5 is VCC21 = +5V; at this time, the output voltage of pin 2 of inverter U3 is VCC22 = 0V (i.e., GND2), and the drain and source of Q1 are completely cut off; the voltage at point VCC7 is not affected by the accelerated shutdown unit 930; at this time, the main control module 100 receives the short-circuit impact alarm signal Over through R14, which is at a high level (i.e. +5), and the main control module 100 does not respond.
[0143] When the capacitor C0 under test is short-circuited by an impulse, a very large current flows through R20 instantaneously. This causes a sudden increase in the voltage VCC8 across R20, and VCC19 increases accordingly. When the voltage of VCC19 exceeds VCC20 (reflecting a very large detection current exceeding the user-set short-circuit threshold), the output voltage VCC21 of the fifth operational amplifier U5 becomes 0V (i.e., GND2). At this time, the output voltage of the inverter U3 is VCC22 = +5V, and the drain and source of Q1 are fully conducting. VCC7 is energized. The voltage is quickly pulled down to GND2 through the drain and source of R17 and Q1. The gate and source voltage of Q3 is 0V (i.e., GND2), which is much lower than the turn-on voltage of Q3. Therefore, the fast response of Q3 enters the cut-off state. Since Q3 enters the cut-off state, the gate and source loop of Q2 is also cut off by the fast response. It cannot form a loop, that is, it cannot reach the turn-on voltage of Q2. Therefore, the drain and source fast response of Q2 enters the cut-off state. The voltage generation module 200 cannot output VOUT to the capacitor under test C0, thus realizing the short-circuit protection of the circuit.
[0144] At this time, the main control module 100 receives the short-circuit impact alarm signal Over low level (i.e. GND2) through R14. The main control module 100 responds to the fully shut-off output function state and outputs a low level ON / OFF=0V at the switch control port. According to equation (12), at this time, the voltage of VCC9 is less than GND2, VCC10 is greater than VCC9, and the output voltage of the second operational amplifier U4 is VCC6=-9V. At this time, when the main control module 100 responds to the fully shut-off output function state, regardless of whether the voltage at point VCC7 continues to be pulled down to GND2 by the accelerated shutdown unit 930, Q2 and Q3 are both in the cut-off state, protecting the entire circuit.
[0145] The capacitor high voltage withstand test response protection method according to the embodiments of this application has the function of fast response protection against short circuit breakdown, thereby avoiding a series of safety hazards such as MLCC capacitor breakdown, short circuit, and fire when the high-speed multi-channel sorting and testing machine tests MLCC capacitors at 2000V high withstand voltage, thus avoiding losses; the modular design of the circuit makes it easy to expand the output channels of the high voltage power supply, which can increase the output channels of the voltage generation module 200, simplify the interface control, simplify the process, reduce the cost, realize large-scale mass production, meet the needs of various equipment, meet various customer testing needs, and facilitate wide application.
