Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip testing technology, and in particular to a power amplifier chip screening and testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Power amplifier chips are the core components in the production of power amplifier products, and the consistency of their various parameters directly determines the quality and stability of the power amplifier product, especially for combiner power amplifiers. Specifically, the phase or amplitude consistency of the chip determines the combining efficiency of the power amplifier. Because many power amplifier chips require additional external circuitry for testing these parameters, they cannot be tested directly on the wafer. Therefore, the chip and its power supply circuitry must first be assembled onto a carrier, and then tested on a probe station (for the most accurate testing) or coaxially. However, due to the limited adsorption area and lack of heat dissipation of the probe station, its efficiency is relatively low during mass production.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a power amplifier chip screening and testing fixture that is simple in structure, easy to install, and highly efficient and reliable in testing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a power amplifier chip screening and testing fixture. The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A power amplifier chip screening and testing fixture is provided for testing several chips under test.

Each mounting fixture assembly includes a pressure plate, a chip mounting slot formed on the pressure plate, a printed circuit board disposed on the lower part of the pressure plate, a chip carrier board disposed on the lower part of the printed circuit board, and a first connecting assembly and a second connecting assembly disposed opposite to each other on the pressure plate.

[0006] The printed circuit board and the chip carrier are disposed at the lower part of the chip mounting slot; the chip under test is disposed on the chip carrier; the pressure plate presses the chip carrier onto the heat sink;

[0008] Furthermore, the flip-up assembly includes a lower mounting block, an upper mounting block disposed on the lower mounting block, and a rotating shaft disposed between the lower mounting block and the upper mounting block; the rotating shaft is located on the side away from the chip under test; the lower mounting block is fixed on the pressure plate, and the adapter printed circuit board is fixed on the upper mounting block.

[0009] Furthermore, a lower mounting block has a lower locking groove on its side; a buckle assembly is hung between the lower mounting block and the upper mounting block; the lower part of the buckle assembly is placed in the lower locking groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes an L-shaped bracket and a snap pin disposed on the lower inner side of the L-shaped bracket; the snap pin is engaged in the lower snap pin groove, and the upper inner wall of the L-shaped bracket is engaged on the upper mounting block.

[0011] Furthermore, the first connecting component and the second connecting component have the same structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) This utility model uses a pressure plate to press and attach the chip carrier to the heat sink, so as to facilitate heat conduction and heat dissipation during the test and ensure its heat dissipation reliability.

[0014] (2) This utility model uses a flip-type lower mounting block and an upper mounting block to mount the adapter printed circuit board on the upper mounting block. When installing or removing the chip under test, the flip-type lower mounting block and upper mounting block provide a larger operating space, making the installation and removal of the chip under test efficient and reliable.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a power amplifier chip screening and testing fixture that can test several chips 200 under test. The power amplifier chip screening and testing fixture includes a heat sink 100 and several mounting fixture assemblies disposed on the heat sink 100. Each mounting fixture assembly corresponds to one chip 200 under test. Each mounting fixture assembly includes a pressure plate 1, a chip mounting slot formed on the pressure plate 1, a printed circuit board 5 disposed at the lower part of the pressure plate 1, a chip carrier board 4 disposed at the lower part of the printed circuit board 5, and a first connecting component 2 and a second connecting component 3 disposed opposite to each other on the pressure plate 1. The printed circuit board 5 and the chip carrier board 4 are disposed at the lower part of the chip mounting slot, and the chip 200 under test is disposed on the chip carrier board 4; furthermore, the pressure plate 1 presses and adheres the chip carrier board 4 to the heat sink 100. During the testing process, heat is transferred to the heat sink 100, ensuring its heat dissipation reliability.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 have the same structure. Taking the first connecting component 2 as an example, it includes a flip-up seat assembly disposed on the pressure plate 1, an adapter printed circuit board 25 disposed on the flip-up seat assembly, and a spring pin 24 disposed on the adapter printed circuit board 25. Here, the flip-up seat assembly includes a lower mounting block 21, an upper mounting block 22 disposed on the lower mounting block 21, and a rotating shaft 23 disposed between the lower mounting block 21 and the upper mounting block 22. The rotating shaft 23 is located on the side away from the chip under test 200. In addition, the lower mounting block 21 is fixed on the pressure plate 1, and the adapter printed circuit board 25 is fixed on the upper mounting block 22. In this embodiment, the upper mounting block 22 is flipped toward the chip under test 200, so that the spring pin 24 is pressed into contact with the printed circuit board 5.

[0031] Since the lower mounting block 21 and the upper mounting block 22 are connected by a flip connection, in order to prevent unreliable contact between the spring pin 24 and the printed circuit board 5, a lower locking groove 211 is provided on the side of the lower mounting block 21, and a buckle assembly 26 is hung between the lower mounting block 21 and the upper mounting block 22. The buckle assembly 26 includes an L-shaped bracket 261 and a locking pin 262 located on the lower inner side of the L-shaped bracket 261. Here, by engaging the locking pin 262 into the lower locking groove 211, and with the upper inner wall of the L-shaped bracket 261 engaged with the upper mounting block 22, the lower mounting block 21 and the upper mounting block 22 can be tightly connected.

[0032] In use, remove the clip assembly 26, and flip the upper mounting block 22 outward (away from the chip under test 200) to expose the space between the printed circuit board 5 and the chip carrier board 4, so that the chip under test 200 can be installed. After the chip under test 200 is installed, flip the upper mounting block 22 inward so that the spring pin 24 is pressed against the printed circuit board 5, and the test can be performed.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any changes made based on the design principles of this utility model, or any non-creative changes made on this basis, shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
