[0029] Working principle: First, under the action of the first 5V low-voltage power supply terminal VCC2, the signal generator U11 outputs a PWM pulse rectangular wave. When the output of the signal generator U11 is low, the cathode AN of pin 4 of the optocoupler U25 is at a high level and the anode CA of pin 5 is at a low level, which satisfies the conduction condition and makes the optocoupler U25 conduct. When the cathode AN of pin 4 of the optocoupler U39 is at a high level and the anode CA of pin 5 is at a low level, the conduction condition is not met, and the optocoupler U39 is closed. When the optocoupler U25 is conducting, the pulse charging capacitor C111 is charged and stored through the pulse input current limiting resistor R18, resulting in a high-level output. Then, when the output of the signal generator U11 is high, the optocoupler U25... When pin 4 (cathode AN) of optocoupler U25 is at a low level and pin 5 (anode CA) is at a high level, the conduction condition cannot be met, causing optocoupler U25 to close. However, when pin 4 (cathode AN) of optocoupler U39 is at a low level and pin 5 (anode CA) is at a high level, the conduction condition is met, causing optocoupler U39 to conduct. When optocoupler U39 is conducting, the pulse charging capacitor C111 is discharged through the pulse output current limiting resistor R312, resulting in a low-level output. Finally, when the signal generator U11 sends a control signal, optocoupler U25 and optocoupler U39 sequentially conduct or close, causing the pulse signal output terminal OUT-Pulse14 to generate a high-voltage pulse signal, which is used to test the response capability and withstand voltage performance of different controllers.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
