利用單片機具有的智能程序控制的特點，設計了基于STC89C52單片機的"二極管特性測試器"，可對二極管一般特性進行快速測試。通過穩定線性電流源給二極管加載恒定電流，然后由高精度模數轉換器測試其壓降，以此為基礎可判斷二極管好壞、檢測二極管極性和測試二極管伏安特性等，避免了用萬用表測試只能測得極性而不知其特性這一缺點。可用于電子設計制作過程中對二極管進行快速測試，以確定被測二極管是否滿足電路的設計要求。
Abstract:
By making good use of the intelligent control function of the Micro Controller Unit (MCU)， the diode trait tester was designed based on the STC89C52，which could be used to test the trait of a diode rapidly. By loading constant current to diode through the stable linear current source， and measuring the voltage drop of the diode by high-precision analogue-to-digital converter (ADC)， it can judge whether the diode is good or not， distinguish the polarity of the diode， and test the trait that the diode， which can avoid the fault of using a multimeter can only measure the polarity but not the trait. This device can be used to test the trait of a diode quickly，and to make sure that whether a diode can be used in the electronic design or not.
為了解決磁放大器性能測試過程中，需要對其供給不同數值恒定電流的問題，設計了一種基于DAC7512和單片機的數控恒流源系統。該系統采用AT89C51作為主控器件，將計算機發送的電流控制字命令轉換為D/A轉換器控制字，通過模擬SPI通信接口，寫D/A控制字到DAC7512，從而控制其輸出相應數字電壓值，經差動縮放電路、電壓/電路變換電路和功率驅動電路，最后輸出恒定電流。實驗結果表明，恒流源輸出電流調節范圍為-45~+45 mA、精度為±0.1 mA，分辨率達0.024 4 mA，具有應用靈活，外圍電路簡單，可靠性高的特點。該數控直流恒流源也可為相關產品的測試系統研發提供參考。

In order to solve the need to supply different values constant current for the magnetic amplifier in testing process， numerical control constant current source system was designed based on DAC7512 chip and microcontroller technology. The system used the AT89C51 as the main chip， which can convert the current control word from computer into to D/A control words. And the system wrote D/A control word into the DAC7512 chip to control the output voltage value by the SPI communication interface， which can output corresponding constant current figures by scaling circuit， the V/I converter and power drive circuit. Experimental results show that the current source output current adjustment range is -45~+45mA， accuracy is ± 0.1mA， and resolution ratio is 0.024 4mA
