Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present application better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present application and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

According to the calibration method of the IC chip, the IC to be calibrated is assembled on the finished PCB, and then the port on the PCB is connected with the calibration circuit to carry out voltage calibration and current calibration. During voltage calibration and current calibration, the voltage calibration value and the current calibration value are calculated by setting an internal output voltage register of the IC and an internal output current register of the IC, switching different loads in a calibration circuit, sampling the actual output voltage of the PCB, and inputting the actual output voltage and the actual output voltage to the IC to realize the voltage calibration and the current calibration.

As shown in fig. 1, the chip calibration system according to the embodiment of the present application includes a finished PCB1 equipped with an IC to be tested and a calibration circuit 2; the calibration circuit 2 comprises an analog-digital converter (ADC) sampling module, a switch K1, a switch K2, a load resistor RL1, a load resistor RL2, a system communication module and a processor;

wherein, the IC chip includes but is not limited to a DC converter DCDC chip and a protocol chip.

The switch K1 and the switch K2 may be controlled to be turned on or off by a processor, which may be a micro control unit MCU or the like, and the type of processing is not limited herein.

The ADC sampling module may be, for example, a 16-bit ADC data acquisition chip AD7606, which is not limited herein.

The resistance of the load resistor RL1 may be 100 ohms, and the resistance of the load resistor RL2 may be, for example, 1000 ohms, and the like, which is not limited herein.

The connection between the IC chip and the calibration circuit may be realized through a trace on the PCB and an external port, or may be a direct connection, which is not limited herein. For example, the IC chip may be connected to the system communication module of the calibration circuit through a pin (e.g., a pin commonly used by a USB port such as CC, D +, D-) of the PCB, so as to implement internal communication with the IC chip, control reading and writing of an internal register of the IC, and switch the current output voltage or current of the IC chip.

The calibration circuit further comprises a memory connected to the processor, and the memory stores a program for executing the steps in the calibration method of current and voltage in the embodiment of the present application.

Vstep=（VO2－VO1）÷（VREG2－VREG1），

Voffset=VO1－[（VO2－VO1）÷（VREG2－VREG1）]×VREG1，

VO= Voffset + Vstep×VREG，

Voffset and Vstep are voltage calibration parameters of the IC chip.

Since the actual output voltage Vo of the IC chip and the value IREG of the internal output voltage register of the IC chip satisfy the first linear relationship, the value of the internal output voltage register is set to VREG1 at the time of the test, and the calibration system satisfies the equation

VO1= Voffset + Vstep×VREG1，

The value of the internal output voltage register is set to VREG2 and the calibration system satisfies the equation

VO2= Voffset + Vstep×VREG2，

Subtracting the two equations to obtain

VO2－VO1= Vstep×VREG2－Vstep×VREG1，

Namely Vstep = (VO 2-VO 1) ÷ (VREG 2-VREG 1).

In one possible example, the calibration circuit is further configured to set the value of the internal output voltage register of the IC chip to VREG3 through the system communication module;

setting the value of an internal output current register of the IC chip as a maximum value, closing the switch K1, opening the switch K2, obtaining the current actual output voltage VO3 through the ADC sampling module, and calculating the current actual output current IO1 through the following formula:

IO1=VO3÷RL1，

setting the internal output current register of the IC chip, reducing and collecting output voltage step by step, triggering an overcurrent protection action until the current output voltage is reduced or completely closed, and obtaining a value IREG1 of the currently set internal output current register, wherein the value IREG1 of the currently set internal output current register corresponds to an overcurrent protection OCP point of the current output current;

setting the value of the internal output current register of the IC chip as a maximum value, opening the switch K1, closing the switch K2, obtaining the current actual output voltage VO4 through the ADC sampling module, and calculating the current actual output current IO2 through the following formula:

IO2=VO4÷RL2，

setting the internal output current register of the IC chip, reducing and collecting output voltage step by step, triggering an overcurrent protection action until the current output voltage is reduced or completely closed, and obtaining a value IREG2 of the currently set internal output current register, wherein the value IREG2 of the currently set internal output current register corresponds to an overcurrent protection OCP point of the current output current;

the calibration values of the current parameters IOffset and Istep to be calibrated are calculated by the following formula:

Istep=（IO2－IO1）÷（IREG2－IREG1），

IOffset=IO1－[（IO2－IO1）÷（IREG2－IREG1）]×IREG1，

wherein the actual output current IO of the IC chip and the value IREG of the internal output current register of the IC chip satisfy a second linear relationship, the value of the internal output current register corresponds to the output current when the IC chip reaches an overcurrent protection state, and the second linear relationship satisfies the following formula:

IO= IOffset + Istep×IREG，

the IOffset is the drift of the internal output current register, and the Istep is the current step size of the internal output current register.

The IOffset and the Istep are current calibration parameters of the IC chip.

Because the actual output current IO of the IC chip and the value IREG of the internal output current register of the IC chip satisfy the second linear relationship, during the test, the initial value of the internal output current register is set to be the maximum value, in this case, the actual current of VO/RL is smaller than the maximum set current (i.e., the overcurrent protection point), the gear of the internal output current register needs to be reduced step by step, and the detection is continued until the current output voltage starts to be reduced to the reference value (i.e., the overcurrent protection action, which is specifically expressed as the current output voltage starts to be reduced or is completely turned off). The overcurrent protection point currents IO corresponding to different load resistors RL are different, so that the corresponding internal output current registers have different values.

Specifically, the calibration system satisfies the equation when the load resistance RL1 is applied

IO1= IOffset + Istep×IREG1，

When load resistance RL2 is acted on, the calibration system satisfies the equation

IO2= IOffset + Istep×IREG2，

Subtracting the two equations to obtain

IO2－IO1= Istep×IREG2－Istep×IREG1= Istep×（IREG2－IREG1），

I.e., Istep = (IO 2-IO 1) ÷ (IREG 2-IREG 1).

It can be seen that, in this example, the current calibration is directly performed on the IC on the finished product PCB, so that the calibration deviation caused by the test fixture and the PCB wiring of the conventional calibration method can be eliminated, the calibration precision is effectively improved, the risk of damage to the IC in the disassembly and assembly process of the conventional calibration method is also avoided, the quality of the outgoing IC is more guaranteed, and meanwhile, the finished product after mass production is calibrated by using the port on the finished product without disassembling the shell, so that the operation is simple and easy to implement, the cost is greatly reduced, and the development period is shortened. The calibration circuit can be suitable for the calibration of voltage and current simultaneously, and is flexible and comprehensive.

In one possible example, the calibration circuit is further configured to, prior to the step-down operation: acquiring historical detection data of a plurality of calibrated IC chips on the same production line; and determining a deviation of a target parameter of each of the plurality of IC chips from the historical detection data, the target parameter comprising an output voltage and/or an output current; and determining at least one of the plurality of IC chips having a deviation greater than a preset deviation; and determining an accuracy of the chip calibration system from the at least one IC chip and the plurality of IC chips; determining a single-chip calibration reference acceleration duration set by a user; and obtaining a target gear step length used for calibrating the batch of products according to the accuracy, the single-chip calibration reference acceleration time length, a preset reference gear step length, the reference accuracy and the single-chip calibration reference time length.

The preset deviation may be, for example, 2%, 1%, 0.1%, etc., and is not limited herein. The higher the accuracy of the chip calibration system is, the more chips are in actual use after calibration, and the deviation generated is within a preset range.

Wherein the stroke of the internal current register may be, for example, 0-2⁸I.e., 0-256, the reference accuracy may be 98%, the reference gear step size may be set to 2 or 3 percent of the stroke (rounded) according to the reference accuracy, e.g., experimentally detected or empirically, and the single calibration reference time duration corresponds to the overall time duration for the single chip to complete the calibration process, and is mainly affected by the downshift frequency (other parameters such as load resistance may be kept consistent to reduce the differential effect factors), i.e., the gear step size has a positive correlation accuracy and a negative correlation to the single calibration time duration, and the accuracy and the single calibration time duration are taken into accountThe influence of the time length can give consideration to both the calibration efficiency and the calibration precision.

In a possible example, in the aspect of obtaining the target gear step size used for calibration of the batch of products according to the accuracy, the single-chip calibration reference acceleration duration, the preset reference gear step size, the reference accuracy, and the single-chip calibration reference duration, the calibration circuit is specifically configured to:

updating the gear step SG of the internal output current register by the following formula:

SG= SG0，τ≧τ0，

，

τ﹤τ0，

wherein SG represents the target gear step size, SG0 represents a reference gear step size, SG0 takes the value of 1/10 of the stroke of the internal output current register, τ represents the accuracy, τ 0 represents the reference accuracy, τ 0 takes the value of a value agreed by an industry standard specification, Δ T represents the monolithic calibration reference speed-up duration, and T0 represents the monolithic calibration reference duration.

Wherein, the value range of the accuracy is [0,1], the monolithic calibration reference time length is obtained according to the detection of the actual circuit process, and generally ranges from 100ms to 5 seconds.

It can be seen that, in this example, the actual accuracy of the chip calibration system is obtained by performing statistical analysis on the historically calibrated chips, and it is indicated that the current gear step length has met the requirement for the case of being greater than or equal to the reference accuracy, and no need to be set intensively, and it is indicated that the progress of the chip calibration system needs to be increased to improve the calibration performance for the case of being less than the reference accuracy, and the calibration efficiency and precision can be considered comprehensively in consideration of the accuracy and the single-chip detection duration.

In one possible example, the calibration circuit is further configured to: and programming the calibrated voltage calibration value and/or current calibration value in an internal memory of the IC chip.

Wherein, after the IC chip is calibrated, the IC chip can calculate and output accurate voltage and current according to a formula.

In one possible example, the internal memory includes any one of: random access memory RAM, double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory DDR, non-volatile memory NVM.

The storage mode of the internal memory of the IC chip includes, but is not limited to, the following modes: FLASH mode, MTP mode (a set of Media Transfer Protocol (Media Transfer Protocol) made by microsoft), OTP mode, etc.

In addition, the IC chip further comprises a first differential pressure sampling port IS + and a second differential pressure sampling port IS-, a sampling resistor RS IS connected between the first differential pressure sampling port IS + and the second differential pressure sampling port IS-, and the current output current IO of the IC chip can be obtained through the IC chip by sampling the differential pressure of IS +/IS-.

Vstep=（VO2－VO1）÷（VREG2－VREG1），

Voffset=VO1－[（VO2－VO1）÷（VREG2－VREG1）]×VREG1，

VO= Voffset + Vstep×VREG，

In one possible example, the method further comprises:

setting a value of the internal output voltage register of the IC chip to VREG3 through the system communication module;

IO1=VO3÷RL1，

IO2=VO4÷RL2，

IOffset=IO1－[（IO2－IO1）÷（IREG2－IREG1）]×IREG1，
