[0035] It needs to be explained that the chip 2 adopts PGA280AIPWR, which is a zero drift programmable gain amplifier, and can output two constant voltages with the same amplitude and opposite directions controlled by the single-chip microcomputer 1. Through the six inverter U311 with Schmidt trigger input and analog switches U320A and U320D, the two constant voltages with the same amplitude and opposite directions can be converted into a constant DC voltage or an AC square wave voltage with controllable frequency and constant amplitude, and then the constant adjustable voltage is output through the precision resistance module (composed of operational amplifier U301A, resistor R301 and resistor R8, and the voltage adjustable function can be realized by adjusting the resistance values of resistor R301 and resistor R8).
[0036] High-precision DC resistance tester is usually applied in research laboratories and precision manufacturing, which requires high testing precision. In order to meet the testing requirements and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the resistance test results, the current reference source must provide stable, accurate and less temperature-affected constant voltage.
[0037] Therefore, the current reference source (such as Figures 2 to 5 It needs to be explained that the connection between A in Figure 2 and A in Figure 3 , the connection between B in Figure 3 and B in Figure 4 , the connection between C and D in Figure 3 and C and D in Figure 5 ) selects the chip PGA280AIPWR and the precision resistance module 4. The single-chip 1 controls the chip PGA280AIPWR to output adjustable stable voltage. The six inverter U311 is a six inverter with Schmidt trigger input, and its four-pin output signal is given to the analog switch U320A and the analog switch U320D, so that the analog switch switches at a certain frequency, thereby converting the voltage output by the PGA280AIPWR into a constant DC voltage or an AC square wave voltage with controllable frequency and constant amplitude, which is input to the operational amplifier U301A. The resistance values of the feedback resistor R301 and the grounding resistor R8 of the operational amplifier U301A can be adjusted to realize the output voltage amplitude adjustable function. The resistor R301 and the resistor R8 are precision low-temperature drift non-inductive metal foil resistors, which can greatly reduce the voltage temperature drift and error in the transmission path, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the tester.
[0038] Currently, the precision DC resistance measurement usually adopts the four-terminal measurement method (as shown in Figure 6 ), and the high-precision DC resistance tester is no exception. It is composed of a constant current source and a voltmeter inside. The constant current source provides a constant current applied to the two ends of the measured resistance, thereby forming a voltage drop across the resistance, which is then collected by the voltmeter. According to Ohm's law R=U / I (voltage collected by the voltmeter / constant current output by the constant current source), the resistance value of the measured resistance is calculated.
[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the constant current source consists of a current reference source, an operational amplifier, a power output stage, and a feedback network. The current reference source provides a stable constant voltage as a reference for the output of the constant current source. The operational amplifier converts the reference current into an output current. Combined with the feedback network, the output voltage of the operational amplifier is adjusted by sampling the output current and comparing it with the reference current, thereby controlling the stability of the output current. The power output stage provides sufficient output power to drive the resistor under test.
[0040] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, a current reference source circuit for a DC resistance tester is proposed. Through chip 2, it can output an adjustable voltage. Combined with the precision resistor module 4, the circuit output voltage has high accuracy and stability. Furthermore, the circuit is not only simple in structure and easy to design and debug, but also outputs a high-precision, low-temperature-drift constant voltage. The current reference source circuit for a DC resistance tester provided by this utility model can output two constant DC voltages with the same and adjustable amplitudes but opposite directions. This allows the constant current power supply to output a constant and accurate current, greatly improving the accuracy of resistance testing. Simultaneously, by controlling the analog switch switching module, the two constant DC voltages with the same amplitude but opposite directions can be selected to convert into either a single constant DC voltage or a frequency-controllable, constant-amplitude AC square wave voltage. Combined with the precision resistor module, the operational amplifier and the precision low-temperature-drift metal foil resistor form an inverting amplifier, achieving a low-temperature-drift, high-precision constant voltage output.
