Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of module testing technology, and in particular to a power module drive testing device for reducing stray inductance. Background Technology

[0002] Power semiconductor devices are widely used in various fields such as switching control, power conversion, motor drive, lighting control, battery management and protection control, and play a key role in industries such as new energy charging piles, automotive electronics, photovoltaic energy storage, data centers, server communication power supplies, and industrial control automation. In recent years, emerging fields such as new energy vehicles and charging piles have become the driving force for its continued growth, and the industry outlook is promising.

[0003] For semiconductor device manufacturers, during the R&D and testing phase, they don't customize dedicated driver boards for various packaged power modules; instead, they use commercially available general-purpose driver boards. The biggest problem with general-purpose driver boards is that their signal terminals cannot directly match the signal terminals of power modules with different packages; they can only be connected via twisted-pair cables. However, using twisted-pair cables presents several issues:

[0004] 1. Using twisted-pair cables will introduce stray inductance;

[0005] 2. Uneven twisted-pair cable lengths will introduce test variables.

[0006] 3. The general-purpose driver board cannot be directly connected to the signal terminals or pins of the power module. During the test, there may be problems with module failure due to incorrect connection of the signal terminals of the power module and the signal terminals of the driver board. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a power module drive test device for reducing stray inductance, comprising:

[0008] The PCB board has a plurality of driver board signal pin sleeves and a plurality of power module pin sleeves, and each driver board signal pin sleeve is electrically connected to a corresponding power module pin sleeve.

[0009] A test driver board, wherein multiple signal terminal pins on the test driver board are respectively connected to and inserted into the signal pin sleeves of each driver board;

[0010] The multiple power terminal pins of the power module to be tested are respectively inserted into the pin sleeves of each power module.

[0011] Preferably, the signal terminal pins on the test driver board are distributed along the edge of the test driver board, and the signal pin sleeves on the PCB board are distributed along the edge of the PCB board, with each signal pin sleeve corresponding to the position of each signal terminal pin.

[0012] Preferably, the power terminal pins of the power module are distributed in the middle of the power module, and the power module pin sleeves on the PCB board are distributed in the middle of the PCB board, and the positions of each power module pin sleeve and each power terminal pin correspond to the positions of the power terminal pins.

[0013] Preferably, the power module is provided with at least one power unit, and each power unit includes a plurality of power terminal pins.

[0014] Preferably, the power unit includes:

[0015] The first IGBT transistor has its source connected to the drain of the second IGBT transistor.

[0016] The gate, drain, and source of the first IGBT transistor, as well as the gate and source of the second IGBT transistor, are all connected to a power terminal pin.

[0017] Preferably, the test driver board includes multiple drive test units, and each drive test unit includes multiple signal terminal pins.

[0018] Preferably, the PCB board and the test drive board are provided with positioning holes corresponding to their positions.

[0019] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0020] A PCB board is set up between the test driver board and the power module to connect the two. The three are connected by a pin socket, eliminating the use of traditional twisted pair wire connections. This reduces stray inductance introduced by twisted pair wires, controls test variables introduced by varying twisted pair wire lengths, avoids potential connection errors with twisted pair wires, and allows a universal test driver board to be compatible with power modules of different packages simply by designing the positions of the driver board signal pin sockets and power module pin sockets on the PCB board.
