[0024] In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application, in the embodiments of the application, the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects are distinguished by using "first", "second", etc. For example, the first threshold value and the second threshold value are only used to distinguish different threshold values, and the order is not limited. Those skilled in the art can understand that "first", "second", etc. do not limit the quantity and execution order, and "first", "second", etc. also do not necessarily mean different.

[0025] It should be noted that in the present application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0026] In the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. The "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the following three cases: A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after it. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions means any combination of these items, including any combination of single or multiple items. For example, at least one of a, b or c can represent a, b, c, the combination of a and b, the combination of a and c, the combination of b and c, or the combination of a, b and c, where a, b and c can be single or multiple.

[0027] Figure 1 A DFT reset circuit diagram in the prior art is shown as follows: Figure 1 As shown, at least three chip function pins are occupied in the prior DFT reset circuit. The first chip function pin, i.e. the scan pin PIN0 in the diagram, is electrically connected to the scan input end SI of the logic unit 2 under test through the first silicon chip pin PAD0 and the scan signal end 11 in turn, so as to provide a scan input signal to the logic unit 2 under test. The second chip function pin, i.e. the output pin PIN1 in the diagram, is used to move the scan signal input into the logic unit 2 under test, so as to test the function logic of the logic unit 2 under test. The third chip function pin, i.e. the reset pin PIN2 in the diagram, is directly electrically connected to the reset signal end 13 through the third silicon chip pin PAD2, and provides different reset signal levels to the reset signal end 13 through the third chip function pin, that is, the input signal of the reset signal end 13 is provided by the third chip function pin, and finally the reset signal logic "0" or the reset signal logic "1" is provided to the reset end CDN of the logic unit 2 under test through the reset signal end 13.

[0028] When this scheme is used to perform reset test on the logic unit 2 under test in DFT test, at least three chip function pins are occupied, which will result in insufficient chip function pins under the premise that the number of chip function pins is limited.

[0029] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a DFT reset circuit for reset management of a chip to-be-tested logic unit 2, comprising a scan signal providing unit 31 and a reset signal providing unit 32. The output end of the scan signal providing unit 31 is electrically connected with the scan input end SI of the to-be-tested logic unit 2 through the reset signal providing unit 32, and the output end of the reset signal providing unit 32 is electrically connected with the reset end CDN of the to-be-tested logic unit 2. The scan signal providing unit 31 comprises a scan pin PIN0, and is used for providing a first scan output signal to the reset signal providing unit 32 according to a scan input signal provided by the scan pin PIN0. The reset signal providing unit 32 is used for providing a second scan output signal to the scan input end SI of the to-be-tested logic unit 2 and a first reset signal to the reset end CDN of the to-be-tested logic unit 2 according to the first scan output signal.

[0030] In specific implementation: the scan signal providing unit 31 provides a first scan output signal to the reset signal providing unit 32 according to a scan input signal provided by the scan pin PIN0. The reset signal providing unit 32 generates a second scan output signal according to the first scan output signal and transmits the second scan output signal to the scan input end SI of the to-be-tested logic unit 2. The reset signal providing unit 32 also generates a first reset signal according to the first scan output signal and transmits the first reset signal to the reset end CDN of the to-be-tested logic unit 2.

[0031] It can be known from the structure and specific implementation of the DFT reset circuit that the output end of the scan signal providing unit 31 is electrically connected to the scan input end SI of the logic unit 2 under test through the reset signal providing unit 32, the output end of the reset signal providing unit 32 is electrically connected to the reset end CDN of the logic unit 2 under test, and the scan signal providing unit 31 includes a scan pin PIN0. Based on this, in the DFT reset circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application, the scan signal providing unit 31 can provide the first scan output signal to the reset signal providing unit 32 only according to the scan input signal provided by the scan pin PIN0, and then under the action of the first scan output signal, the reset signal providing unit 32 can not only provide the second scan output signal to the scan input end SI of the logic unit 2 under test according to the first scan output signal to complete the logic function test of the logic unit 2 under test, but also provide the first reset signal to the reset end CDN of the logic unit 2 under test to complete the management of the reset test of the logic unit 2 under test. In the prior art, not only is it necessary to use the scan pin to provide the scan input signal to perform the function logic test of the logic unit under test, but also it is necessary to use the reset pin to provide the reset signal to perform the management of the reset test of the logic unit under test. However, in the DFT reset circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application, the reset signal providing unit 32 is used to replace the function of the reset pin PIN2 of the chip in the DFT test, so that when the logic test of the chip is performed, it is not necessary to specially occupy a chip function pin as a providing pin of the reset signal, thereby saving the pin resources of the chip. Based on this, the providing pin position of the reset signal in the prior art can be provided with other chip function pins, which can solve the problem of insufficient function pins on the chip to a certain extent.

[0032] In a possible implementation, the reset signal providing unit 32 includes a reset signal generating module, a selection module and a reset signal output module. The output end of the scan signal providing unit 31 is electrically connected to the scan input end SI of the reset signal generating module, for providing the first scan output signal to the reset signal generating module, the output end of the reset signal generating module is electrically connected to the scan input end SI of the logic unit 2 under test, for providing the second scan output signal to the scan input end SI of the logic unit 2 under test according to the first scan output signal. The output end of the reset signal generating module is also electrically connected to the input end of the selection module, the output end of the selection module is electrically connected to the input end of the reset signal output module, and the selection module is used to provide the second reset signal to the reset signal output module under the action of the second scan output signal. The reset signal output module is electrically connected to the reset end CDN of the logic unit 2 under test, for providing the first reset signal to the reset end CDN of the logic unit 2 under test according to the second reset signal.

[0033] In implementation, the first scan output signal provided by the scan signal providing unit 31 is transmitted to the reset signal generating module. The reset signal generating module generates a second scan output signal according to the scan input signal and directly transmits the second scan output signal to the scan input end SI of the logic unit under test 2. Meanwhile, the reset signal generating module can also transmit the second scan output signal to the selection module. The selection module generates a second reset signal according to the second scan output signal and transmits the second reset signal to the reset signal output module. The reset signal output module generates a first reset signal according to the second reset signal and transmits the first reset signal to the reset end CDN of the logic unit under test 2, so as to complete the reset management of the logic unit under test 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, the reset signal generating module comprises a chain register 321. The output end of the scan signal providing unit 31 is electrically connected with the scan input end SI of the chain register 321. The output end of the chain register 321 is electrically connected with the scan input end SI of the logic unit under test 2 and the input end of the selection module, respectively, for providing the second scan output signal to the scan input end SI of the logic unit under test 2 and the selection module according to the first scan output signal. The output end of the chain register 321 is also electrically connected with the data input end D of the chain register 321.

[0035] Based on this, after the scan input end SI of the chain register 321 receives the first scan output signal, the first scan output signal is transmitted to the output end Q of the chain register 321 and to the data input end D of the chain register 321. Then, according to actual conditions, the signal received by the data input end D of the chain register 321 can be transmitted to the output end Q, or the signal received by the scan input end SI of the chain register 321 can be transmitted to the output end Q, so as to provide the second scan output signal to the scan input end SI of the logic unit under test 2 and the selection module.

[0036] In some embodiments, the selection module comprises an OR gate 3221 and a scan enable signal end 15. The output end of the reset signal generating module is electrically connected with the first input end of the OR gate 3221, for providing the second scan output signal to the OR gate 3221. The scan enable signal end 15 is electrically connected with the second input end of the OR gate 3221, for providing the scan enable signal to the OR gate 3221. The output end of the OR gate 3221 is electrically connected with the input end of the reset signal output module. The OR gate 3221 is used for providing the second reset signal to the reset signal output module according to the second scan output signal and the scan enable signal. The scan enable signal end 15 is also electrically connected with the scan enable end SE of the logic unit under test 2, for providing the scan enable signal to the scan enable end SE of the logic unit under test 2.

[0037] In actual application, the scan enable signal end 15 is also electrically connected with a scan enable end SE of the chain register 321, for providing a scan enable signal to the chain register 321. In the shift stage, the scan enable signal is signal "1", and under the action of the signal "1", the chain register 321 transmits the first scan output signal received by the scan input end SI to the OR gate 3221 and the logic unit 2 under test, and based on the logic of the OR gate 3221, the second reset signal provided by the OR gate 3221 to the reset signal output module is signal "1", and under the condition that the scan enable signal is signal "1", the logic unit 2 under test selects to store the second scan output signal received by the scan input end SI into the register. In the capture stage, the scan enable signal is signal "0", and under the action of the signal "0", the chain register 321 transmits the signal received by the data input end D to the OR gate 3221 and the logic unit 2 under test, and at this time, the second reset signal provided by the OR gate 3221 to the reset signal output module depends on the output signal of the chain register 321, when the output signal of the chain register 321 is signal "0", the second reset signal is signal "0", and when the output signal of the chain register 321 is signal "1", the second reset signal is signal "1".

[0038] In some embodiments, the reset signal output module includes a data selector 3231 and a reset signal end 13. The first input end I0 of the data selector 3231 is electrically connected with the external function logic signal end 12, the second input end I1 of the data selector 3231 is electrically connected with the output end of the selection module through the reset signal end 13, the selection end S of the data selector 3231 is electrically connected with the external test signal end 14, and the output end Z of the data selector 3231 is electrically connected with the reset end CDN of the logic unit 2 under test, for providing the first reset signal to the reset end CDN of the logic unit 2 under test.

[0039] In actual application, in the DFT test mode, the output signal of the external test signal end 14 is signal "1", and under the selection of the signal, the data selector 3231 selects to output the signal received by the second input end I1, that is, the second reset signal output by the OR gate 3221.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, in the shift stage, the second reset signal provided by the OR gate 3221 to the data selector 3231 is signal "1", and the first reset signal output by the data selector 3231 is also signal "1", which meets that the logic unit 2 under test will not be reset in the shift stage, and ensures the accuracy of the shift.

[0041] In the capture stage, the second reset signal provided by the OR gate 3221 to the data selector 3231 can be signal "1" or signal "0", depending on the output signal of the serial chain register 321. If the reset condition needs to be tested, signal "0" is shifted to the serial chain register 321, and finally signal "0" is captured from the data input end D to the output end Q of the serial chain register 321. If the non-reset condition needs to be tested, signal "1" is shifted to the serial chain register 321, and finally signal "0" is captured from the data input end D to the output end Q of the serial chain register 321.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the scan signal providing unit 31 further includes a first silicon chip pin PAD0 and a scan signal end 11. The scan pin PIN0, the first silicon chip pin PAD0 and the scan signal end 11 are electrically connected in sequence, and an output end of the scan signal end 11 is electrically connected to the reset signal providing unit 32.

[0043] Based on this, when the scan input signal provided by the scan pin PIN0 is signal "1", the first scan output signal output by the scan signal providing unit 31 according to signal "1" is also signal "1"; when the scan input signal provided by the scan pin PIN0 is signal "0", the first scan output signal output by the scan signal providing unit 31 according to signal "0" is also signal "0".

[0044] In practice, the first silicon chip pin PAD0 has three input and output ends, namely a PAD end, a C end and an I end, and an output enable OEN end for controlling the first silicon chip pin PAD0 to be in an output mode or an input mode. When the output enable OEN end is electrically connected to signal "1", the first silicon chip pin PAD0 is in the input mode, that is, signal is received from the PAD end and signal is output from the C end; when the output enable OEN end is electrically connected to signal "0", the first silicon chip pin PAD0 is in the output mode, that is, signal is received from the I end and signal is output from the PAD end.

[0045] Further, the DFT reset circuit further includes a scan signal output unit 33 electrically connected to the output end Q of the logic unit under test 2, for outputting the third scan output signal of the logic unit under test 2, wherein the third scan output signal is generated after the second scan output signal passes through the logic unit under test 2. The scan signal output unit 33 includes an output pin PIN1, a second silicon chip pin PAD1 and a scan signal output end 16. The output end of the logic unit under test 2, the scan signal output end 16, the second silicon chip pin PAD1 and the output pin PIN1 are electrically connected in sequence.

[0046] Based on this, in the shift stage, the scan enable signal is signal "1", the scan input signal provided by the scan pin PIN0 is consistent with the first scan output signal, under the action of signal "1", the chain register 321 selects to store the first scan output signal received by the scan input end SI in the chain register 321, and finally the first scan output signal is transmitted to the output end Q of the chain register 321, and then transmitted to the scan input end SI of the logic unit 2 to be tested, after the logic unit 2 to be tested receives the second scan output signal, the third scan output signal is output to the scan signal output unit 33, so as to complete the shift test of the logic unit 2 to be tested.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the DFT reset circuit further comprises a clock signal end. The clock signal end is electrically connected with the clock input end CP of the reset signal providing unit 32 and the clock input end CP of the logic unit 2 to be tested respectively, and is used for providing the clock signal to the reset signal providing unit 32 and the logic unit 2 to be tested. Specifically, the clock signal end is electrically connected with the clock input end CP of the chain register 321 and the clock input end CP of the register in the logic unit 2 to be tested, and is used for providing the clock signal to the chain register 321 and the logic unit 2 to be tested. When the above register is a rising edge register, only when the rising edge of the clock signal comes, the signal received by the scan input end SI will be transmitted to the output end. When the above register is a falling edge register, only when the falling edge of the clock signal comes, the signal received by the scan input end SI will be transmitted to the output end Q, that is, the second scan output signal will be transformed with the period of the clock signal, and will be captured from the scan input end SI of the logic unit 2 to be tested to the output end of the logic unit 2 to be tested, and finally will be removed through the scan signal output unit 33, and the third scan output signal will be observed through the output pin PIN1 of the scan signal output unit 33, so as to complete the logic test of the logic unit 2 to be tested.

[0052] In response to the first scan output signal, the reset signal providing unit provides the second scan output signal to the scan input end of the logic unit under test and provides the first reset signal to the reset end of the logic unit under test.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the reset method provided by the embodiments of the present application has the same beneficial effects as the DFT reset circuit provided in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
