Test device for buck circuit
View Patent ↗A test device includes a transformer, a loop analyzer, and a protection circuit. The protection circuit includes a control unit, a signal acquisition and amplification unit, and an electronic switch. When the loop analyzer outputs a signal, the signal acquisition and amplification unit acquires the signal output from the loop analyzer, amplifies the acquired signal, and outputs the amplified signal to the control unit. The control unit transforms the received signal from analog form to digital form, and compares the digital signal with a reference value. If the digital signal is greater than the reference value, the control unit outputs a control signal to the electronic switch, to turn off the electronic switch. The signal output from the loop analyzer cannot be transmitted to a buck circuit.
1. A test device for testing a buck circuit, the test device comprising:
a transformer comprising a primary coil and a secondary coil, wherein a first end of the secondary coil is connected to a first terminal of the buck circuit;
a protection circuit comprising a control unit, a signal acquisition and amplification unit, and an electronic switch, wherein a first end of the electronic switch is connected to a second end of the secondary coil, a second end of the electronic switch is connected to a second terminal of the buck circuit, the third end of the electronic switch is connected to the control unit, the control unit is connected to the signal acquisition and amplification unit; and
a loop analyzer comprising first to fourth signal terminals, wherein the first signal terminal of the loop analyzer is connected to a first end of the primary coil, the second signal terminal of the loop analyzer is connected to a second end of the primary coil and the signal acquisition and amplification unit, the third signal terminal is connected to the first terminal of the buck circuit, the fourth signal terminal is connected to the second terminal of the buck circuit;
wherein when the second signal terminal of the loop analyzer outputs a signal to the signal acquisition and amplification unit, the signal acquisition and amplification unit amplifies the signal outputted from the loop analyzer, and outputs an amplified signal to the control unit; the control unit transforms the amplified signal from analog form to digital form to get a digital signal, and compares the digital signal with a reference value; if the value of the digital signal is greater than the reference value, the control unit outputs a first control signal to the electronic switch, to turn off the electronic switch; if the value of the digital signal is less than the reference value, the control unit outputs a second control signal to the electronic switch, to turn on the electronic switch; the loop analyzer determines whether the signal received from the buck circuit is same with the signal set in the loop analyzer.
