Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power supply testing, in particular to an optimized DC loop stability testing circuit and tooling. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the R&D and production stage of electronic products, the loop stability test of the internal power supply can provide a high-level reference for the power supply output accuracy and stability in the design stage, which is essential; in order to realize the control loop response test, we need to inject an error signal into the feedback path of the control loop, and this feedback path is the feedback resistor divider network. We need to connect a smaller resistor in series to the feedback loop to inject an error signal.

[0003] In conventional loop stability tests, we usually connect a low-resistance injection resistor (Rinj) in series. Usually, the resistors soldered on the circuit board are very small 0402 or even smaller 0201 chip resistors. If there is no reserved space, you need to cut the board and connect the resistors with flying wires. After connecting the resistors, you need to lead out 4 leads from both ends of the resistors to connect to the isolation transformer and passive probe. This is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will increase the risk of board damage. If there are multiple DCDCs that need to be tested, the time will be doubled. Summary of the invention

[0013] Furthermore, the resistance of the resistor Rinj is 5 ohms.

[0014] Furthermore, the test points of the test circuit are located at two ends of the resistor Rinj.

In addition, the utility model provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use scenarios of other materials.

[0031] The utility model provides the following preferred embodiments:

[0032] refer to Figure 1As shown, a test fixture is provided that can simplify the stability of the back-end loop of the DCDC chip. The tiny chip resistors are replaced by more stable, reliable and easy-to-operate metal film resistors, which are integrated on the panel circuit board. Wiring points A, B, C, and D should be reserved for direct connection with the test fixture. It is only necessary to introduce the leads into the feedback loop to be measured for direct testing. This tool greatly shortens the test time each time, is not easy to damage the test board, and can be reused many times.

[0033] A test tool for optimizing DC loop stability test, including a circuit breadboard, an injection resistor connected to an isolation transformer, a metal film resistor with high precision, stable performance, simple and lightweight structure is used to replace a tiny chip resistor that is not easy to operate, and reserved connection points A, B, C, D connected to a test instrument, and a relatively soft wire for connecting the upper end of the feedback resistor and the output end of the test board. The wire can be made of copper wire. It is understandable that the wire can also be implemented using other conductive substitutes.

[0034] The device is light and easy to make. The isolation transformer and the passive probe can be quickly and accurately connected to both ends of the injection resistor, replacing the complex and vulnerable blow welding and flying wire operations on the sample to be tested. It only needs to connect the leads to the feedback loop to be tested, and it can be reused, greatly improving the efficiency of testing the DC loop.

[0035] The specific production steps of this utility model are as follows:

[0036] Step 1: Use a panel circuit board, which does not need to be too large, 6cm*8cm in size is enough, and connect the injection resistor required for the test to the circuit board. You can use a more common metal film resistor on the market. The resistance value should be as small as possible, about 10Ω is best;

[0037] Step 2: After the wiring positions are reserved at both ends of the injection resistor, bend and solder them to the breadboard. Figure 1 Points A, B, C, and D shown must ensure that the clips of the isolation transformer and the passive probe can be stably clamped without loosening;

[0038] Step 3: Lead out a conductive wire from the connection between the injection resistor and the breadboard. It can be a copper wire. One end of the wire is connected to the upper end of the feedback loop resistor to be tested, and the other end is connected to the output voltage end. It should be noted that the upper end of the feedback resistor and the output voltage are disconnected at this time.

[0039] Step 4: Operate the oscilloscope to directly conduct the test. After completing the loop test, just disconnect the lead connected to the system on the tool board and connect it to the next loop test.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the present invention are specifically embodied in that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
