[0032] High level refers to high voltage opposite to low level.

[0033] Low level refers to low voltage opposite to high level.

[0034] In the related art, referring to Figure 1 , a chip pin of an integrated circuit chip is provided with a first diode connected reversely to ground, that is, the anode of the first diode is connected to ground, and the cathode of the first diode is connected to the chip pin, for example, Figure 1 diode D7 in as the first diode.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 , the chip pin test circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application comprises a common resistance 100, a level output module 200 and a connectivity test module 300; a first end of the common resistance 100 is used as an IO port, and a second end of the common resistance 100 is connected to ground; a first input end of the level output module 200 is used for inputting a level control signal, and an output end of the level output module 200 is connected to the IO port; an input end of the connectivity test module 300 is used for inputting a switch control signal, an input / output end of the connectivity test module 300 is connected to the IO port, and an output end of the connectivity test module 300 is used for outputting a test result.

[0036] The IO port is used for connecting the chip pin; the level control signal is used for controlling the level output module 200 to output a level driving signal to the chip pin; the connectivity test module 300 is used for testing the connectivity of the chip pin; the common resistance 100 is used as a pull-down resistance of the level output module 200, so that the output end of the level output module 200 has a stable level state; the common resistance 100 is also used as one of the connectivity branches of the connectivity test module 300, and during the connectivity test, based on whether the chip pin is faulty, the voltage received by the common resistance 100 is also different, so as to output a corresponding test result. By making the level output module 200 and the connectivity test module 300 share the common resistance 100, the level output module 200 can output a driving level signal to the chip pin, the connectivity test module 300 can test the connectivity of the chip pin, at the same time, it is beneficial to reduce the number of components, thereby being beneficial to simplify the circuit structure and reduce the cost, in addition, it is also convenient to integrate the level output module 200 and the connectivity test module 300 into one, and convenient to miniaturization and use.

[0037] It should be noted that referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment, the input and output of the connectivity test module 300 is connected with the IO port, and the chip pin to be tested is connected with the IO port. When the connectivity of the chip pin is normal, the chip pin and the IO port are connected, and a connectivity branch is formed between the chip pin and the IO port. The connectivity branch is connected with the common resistance 100 in parallel, and the voltage is loaded on the first diode and the common resistance 100. The IO port is in the first voltage state, and the connectivity test module 300 can output the first voltage state as the test result. When the connectivity of the chip pin is abnormal, the chip pin and the IO port are disconnected, and no connectivity branch is formed between the chip pin and the IO port. The voltage is loaded on the common resistance 100, the IO port is in the second voltage state, and the connectivity test module 300 can output the second voltage state as the test result. By taking the common resistance 100 as one of the connectivity branches of the connectivity test module 300, the IO port can be in the first voltage state or the second voltage state, and the connectivity test module 300 outputs the corresponding test result.

[0038] With reference to Figure 3 Or Figure 4 The connectivity test module 300 includes a signal detection unit 310, a signal generation unit (not shown in the figure) and a switch control unit 330. The input of the switch control unit 330 is the input of the connectivity test module 300. The switch control unit 330 is used to control the signal generation unit to output the test signal. The output of the signal generation unit is connected with the IO port. The input of the signal detection unit 310 is connected with the IO port. The output of the signal detection unit 310 is the output of the connectivity test module 300. The signal generation unit is used to generate the test signal for testing the chip pin, such as the sine wave and the constant current. The switch control unit 330 is used to control the signal generation unit to output the test signal. The signal detection unit 310 is used to detect the voltage state of the IO port.

[0039] When the connectivity test of the chip pin is needed, the switch control unit 330 makes the signal generation unit output the corresponding test signal, and the test signal passes through the chip pin or the common resistance 100, so that the IO port is in the first voltage state or the second voltage state, and the signal detection unit 310 outputs the corresponding test result, and the connectivity test is completed.

[0040] With reference to Figure 6 , Figure 7 Or Figure 8The signal detection unit 310 comprises a comparator U5, a resistor R3, a resistor R6 and a resistor R7, a first end of the resistor R3 is grounded, a second end of the resistor R3 is connected with a non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U5, a first end of the resistor R6 is connected with an output terminal of the comparator U5, a second end of the resistor R6 is connected with an inverting input terminal of the comparator U5, the output terminal of the comparator U5 is an output terminal of the signal detection unit 310, a first end of the resistor R7 is an input terminal of the signal detection unit 310, and a second end of the resistor R7 is connected with the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U5 or the inverting input terminal of the comparator U5. Wherein, the comparator U5 obtains the voltage state of the IO port through the resistor R7, when the second end of the resistor R7 is connected with the inverting input terminal of the comparator U5, the comparator U5 outputs the voltage state after inverting as the test result; when the second end of the resistor R7 is connected with the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U5, the comparator U5 outputs the voltage state as the test result.

[0041] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 6 With a specific example, the signal generation unit comprises a constant current source circuit 321, an output terminal of the constant current source circuit 321 is connected with the IO port, and a controlled end of the constant current source is connected with a control terminal of the switch control unit 330.

[0042] Specifically, the constant current source circuit 321 comprises a transistor Q1, a transistor Q2 and a resistor R8, a collector of the transistor Q1 is an output terminal of the constant current source circuit 321, a base of the transistor Q1 is connected with a base of the transistor Q2, a collector of the transistor Q2 and a first end of the resistor R8 respectively, a second end of the resistor R8 is grounded, and an emitter of the transistor Q1 and an emitter of the transistor Q2 are both used for inputting a sixth voltage signal.

[0043] The switch control unit 330 comprises a transistor Q3, a transistor Q4, a resistor R9, a resistor R10 and a resistor R11, an emitter of the transistor Q4 is used for inputting a seventh voltage signal, a base of the transistor Q4 is connected with a first end of the resistor R11, a second end of the resistor R11 is used for inputting a switch control signal, a collector of the transistor Q4 is connected with a first end of the resistor R10 and a first end of the resistor R9, a second end of the resistor R9 is connected with a base of the transistor Q3, an emitter of the transistor Q3 and a second end of the resistor R10 are both used for inputting the sixth voltage signal, and a collector of the transistor Q3 is connected with a first end of the resistor R8.

[0044] The amplitude of the sixth voltage signal can be-5V, and the amplitude of the seventh voltage signal can be 3.3V. The output end of the constant current source circuit 321 is used to output a constant current. When the switch control signal is a low-level signal, the triode Q3 and the triode Q4 are turned on, the triode Q1 and the triode Q2 are turned off, and the collector of the triode Q1 is in a high resistance state. At this time, the constant current source circuit 321 is closed by the switch control unit 330, and the constant current is stopped from being output. At this time, the connectivity test module 300 stops working. When the switch control signal is a high-level signal, the triode Q3 and the triode Q4 are turned off, the triode Q1 and the triode Q2 are turned on, and the constant current flowing through the collector of the triode Q2 is the same as the constant current flowing through the collector of the triode Q1.

[0045] When the constant current source circuit 321 can output a constant current, and the connectivity of the chip pin is normal, the constant current can flow from the anode of the first diode, i.e. the ground end, to the emitter of the triode Q1 through the cathode of the first diode and the collector of the triode Q1 in sequence. In this example, the voltage amplitude of the emitter of the triode Q1 is-5V, and the voltage drop of the first diode can be between 0.4V and 0.8V. Therefore, the voltage amplitude of the input end of the signal detection unit 310 is between-0.8V and-0.4V.

[0046] When the constant current source circuit 321 can output a constant current, and the connectivity of the chip pin is abnormal, the constant current can flow from the second end of the common resistance 100, i.e. the ground end, to the emitter of the triode Q1 through the first end of the common resistance 100 and the collector of the triode Q1 in sequence. In this example, the voltage amplitude of the emitter of the triode Q1 is-5V, and the constant current flowing through the common resistance 100 will generate a large voltage drop on the common resistance 100, for example, a voltage drop of 4.9V. Therefore, the voltage amplitude of the first end of the common resistance 100 is less than-0.8V and close to-5V, so that the voltage amplitude of the input end of the signal detection unit 310 is between-5V and-0.8V.

[0047] In the above example, the signal detection unit 310 can output the input in reverse. That is, when the test result output by the output end of the signal detection unit 310 is between 0.4V and 0.8V, the connectivity of the chip pin is normal, and when the test result output by the output end of the signal detection unit 310 is between 0.8V and 5V, the connectivity of the chip pin is abnormal. In the above example, the circuit structure of the connectivity test module 300 is simple, and the common resistance 100 can be shared with the level output module 200, so as to use the common resistance 100 as one of the connectivity branches of the connectivity test module 300, which is beneficial to simplify the circuit and reduce the cost.

[0048] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 7With another specific example, the signal generating unit includes a sine wave generating circuit 322, and an output end of the sine wave generating circuit 322 is connected with the IO port through the switch control unit 330.

[0049] Specifically, the switch control unit 330 includes a relay K1, a transistor Q5 and a resistor R12, a base of the transistor Q5 is connected with a first end of the resistor R12, a second end of the resistor R12 is used for inputting a switch control signal, an emitter of the transistor Q5 is grounded, a collector of the transistor Q5 is connected with a first end of a coil of the relay K1, a second end of the coil of the relay K1 is used for connecting a power supply, a first end of a switch of the relay K1 is connected with an output end of the sine wave generating circuit 322, and a second end of the switch of the relay K1 is connected with the IO port.

[0050] The sine wave generating circuit 322 is used for generating a sine wave signal; when the switch control signal is a low-level signal, the switch of the relay K1 is opened, and the continuity test module 300 stops working; when the switch control signal is a high-level signal, the switch of the relay K1 is closed, and the sine wave signal generated by the sine wave generating circuit 322 can be loaded to the chip pin, and the continuity test module 300 normally works.

[0051] When the continuity test module 300 normally works and the continuity of the chip pin is normal, in a positive half cycle of the sine wave signal, the sine wave signal flows from the output end of the sine wave generating circuit 322, through the first end of the switch of the relay K1, the second end of the switch of the relay K1 and the first end of the common resistor 100, to the second end of the common resistor 100, at this time, the input end of the signal detection unit 310 inputs the positive half cycle of the sine wave; in a negative half cycle of the sine wave signal, the sine wave signal flows from the positive pole of the first diode, i.e. the ground end, through the negative pole of the first diode, the second end of the switch of the relay K1 and the first end of the switch of the relay K1, to the output end of the sine wave generating circuit 322, at this time, since the voltage drop of the first diode is small, the voltage amplitude of the first diode is close to the voltage amplitude of the ground end, i.e. the voltage amplitude of the first diode is close to zero, and thus the voltage amplitude of the input end of the signal detection unit 310 is close to zero.

[0052] When the connectivity test module 300 is working normally, and the connectivity of the chip pin is abnormal, in the negative half cycle of the sine wave signal, the flow path of the sine wave signal changes, the sine wave signal flows from the second end of the common resistance 100, i.e. the ground end, to the output end of the sine wave generation circuit 322 through the first end of the common resistance 100, the second end of the switch of the relay K1, and the first end of the switch of the relay K1 in turn. At this time, due to the large voltage drop of the common resistance 100, the voltage amplitude at the first end of the common resistance 100 is close to the voltage amplitude at the output end of the sine wave generation circuit 322, and the input end of the signal detection unit 310 inputs the negative half cycle of the sine wave, i.e. the signal detection unit 310 can output a complete sine wave in one cycle of the sine wave signal.

[0053] It should be noted that in some embodiments, with reference to Figure 8 , the above-mentioned relay K1 can be replaced by an analog switch M1.

[0054] In the above example, the signal detection unit 310 can output the input in phase, i.e. when the output end of the signal detection unit 310 outputs the positive half cycle of the sine wave in the positive half cycle of the sine wave signal, and the voltage amplitude of the output is close to zero or the voltage amplitude of the output is zero in the negative half cycle of the sine wave signal, the connectivity of the chip pin is normal; when the output end of the signal detection unit 310 outputs a complete sine wave in one cycle of the sine wave signal, the connectivity of the chip pin is abnormal. In the above example, the circuit structure of the connectivity test module 300 is simple, and the common resistance 100 can be shared with the level output module 200, so as to use the common resistance 100 as one of the connectivity branches of the connectivity test module 300, which is beneficial to simplify the circuit and reduce the cost.

[0055] With reference to Figure 6 , Figure 7 or Figure 8 , the level control signal includes a first level signal and a second level signal, and the level output module 200 includes a first comparison unit (not shown in the figure), a second comparison unit (not shown in the figure), and a line or unit 210, the first input end of the first comparison unit is used for inputting the first level signal, the second input end of the second comparison unit is used for inputting the second level signal, the second input end of the first comparison unit and the first input end of the second comparison unit are used for inputting the first reference voltage signal, the negative power supply end of the first comparison unit and the negative power supply end of the second comparison unit are used for inputting the first voltage signal with a voltage amplitude less than zero, the output end of the first comparison unit is connected with the first input end of the line or unit 210, the output end of the second comparison unit is connected with the second input end of the line or unit 210, and the output end of the line or unit 210 is connected with the IO port.

[0056] The first level signal is used to control the output of the first comparison unit, and the second level signal is used to control the output of the second comparison unit; and the line or unit 210 is used to perform line or processing on the output of the first comparison unit and the output of the second comparison unit to obtain the level driving signal.

[0057] When the positive power supply end of the first comparison unit and the positive power supply end of the second comparison unit input the same voltage signal, and the voltage signal can be used as a low level signal, the output end of the line or unit 210 can output a low level signal, or the output end of the line or unit 210 can be in a high resistance state; when the positive power supply end of the first comparison unit and the positive power supply end of the second comparison unit input the same voltage signal, and the voltage signal can be used as a high level signal, the output end of the line or unit 210 can output a high level signal, or the output end of the line or unit 210 can be in a high resistance state.

[0058] The level output module 200 is used to make the IO port in a high resistance state, or make the IO port output a high level signal or a low level signal, so as to test the logic function of the chip pin, and the level output module 200 and the connectivity test module 300 share the common resistance 100, so that the common resistance 100 is used as a pull-down resistance when the level output module 200 works, which is beneficial to simplify the circuit structure and reduce the cost.

[0059] It should be noted that the first reference voltage signal is used as the reference voltage of the first comparison unit and the second comparison unit, and the first reference voltage signal is used to compare with the input first level signal or the second level signal; the voltage amplitude of the first reference voltage signal is less than zero; the absolute value of the voltage amplitude of the first reference voltage signal is greater than the voltage amplitude of the low level signal and less than the voltage amplitude of the high level signal.

[0060] The first comparison unit and the second comparison unit can both use a voltage comparator, for example, referring to Figures 6 to 8 The voltage comparator U1 is used as the first comparison unit, and the voltage comparator U2 is used as the second comparison unit; the first input end of the first comparison unit can be used as the non-inverting input end of the first comparison unit, or can be used as the inverting input end of the first comparison unit; the second input end of the second comparison unit can be used as the non-inverting input end of the second comparison unit, or can be used as the inverting input end of the second comparison unit; when the first input end of the first comparison unit is used as the non-inverting input end of the first comparison unit, the second input end of the second comparison unit can also be used as the non-inverting input end of the second comparison unit; when the first input end of the first comparison unit is used as the inverting input end of the first comparison unit, the second input end of the second comparison unit can also be used as the inverting input end of the second comparison unit.

[0061] It should be noted that the first comparison unit and the second comparison unit can also use integrated chips with comparison functions, such as integrated chips such as LM324, LM339, or LM393.

[0062] Referring to Figures 6 to 8 , the positive power supply end of the first comparison unit is used to input the second voltage signal, and the positive power supply end of the second comparison unit is used to input the third voltage signal. The voltage amplitude of the second voltage signal is greater than or less than the voltage amplitude of the third voltage signal. Among them, the voltage amplitude of the second voltage signal is not the same as the voltage amplitude of the third voltage signal, so as to make the line or unit 210 can output high level signal or low level signal.

[0063]
