Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit testing, in particular to a general testing system and method for integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] The general test solution is used for testing of various types of integrated circuits. [0003] In integrated circuit testing, the existing common testing methods for integrated circuits generally use PC (host computer) or MCU (microcontroller) as the main control module, and control specific test function modules through PC to provide bus test resources. In this method, the data processing and specific function control of the entire system are all processed in the background on the PC side, and its general structure is shown in Figure 1. [0004] In existing test methods, FPGAs (logic programmable circuits) are generally only used in test function modules. [0005] In the existing test methods, the test vectors need to be read back to the PC or MCU and stored in the background m...
