Abstract

The invention provides a double-time-domain dynamic frequency conversion test method. The method comprises the following steps of using a low speed reference frequency on an ATE and taking the frequency as a frequency used for communication; on the ATE, through a BIST circuit, setting a PLL circuit in a chip, generating and acquiring a high frequency signal; through calculation, acquiring synchronous waiting time of an external clock and an internal high speed clock, and operation frequencies of an internal high speed instruction; after internal and external clock domains are synchronized, detecting a current internal high speed clock domain instruction operation result; and through continuously changing PLL setting in the external clock domain, realizing frequency conversion the an internal high speed time domain till that a maximum limiting frequency is detected. By using the double-time-domain dynamic frequency conversion test method, under frequency conversion operation of a high speed chip, a peripheral low-speed ATE is used to test performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit testing, and in particular to a dual-time domain dynamic frequency conversion testing method. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor automated test system (ATE) is used to detect the integrity of integrated circuit functions, and is the final process of integrated circuit manufacturing to ensure the quality of integrated circuit manufacturing. The general working principle of the existing semiconductor automated test system (ATE) is to select the address of the memory chip under test, read and write data to the comparator inside the tester through the level signal on the input and output pins, and compare the expected value The test process of obtaining the result of PASS / FAIL with the measured logic value. [0003] Chip speed continues to increase, and ATE cannot achieve high-speed testing due to factors such as equipment limitations and probe card leads. BIST (Built-in Self...
