Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit testing technology, and in particular relates to a crystal oscillator testing method, system, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] A crystal oscillator is a device that generates precise and stable clock signals, which can provide stable clock signals for the normal operation of equipment and systems in various fields.

[0003] A crystal oscillator primarily consists of a crystal resonator, an amplifier, and a feedback network. A resonator made of quartz crystal or other crystalline materials experiences a piezoelectric effect under the influence of an electric field, causing the crystal to vibrate. A crystal oscillator utilizes this characteristic to amplify the tiny vibrations caused by the piezoelectric effect within the oscillation circuit, generating a stable frequency output signal. The feedback network then feeds this amplified signal back to the resonator to maintain stable oscillation.

[0004] To ensure the performance and reliability of crystal oscillators, it is usually necessary to test the crystal oscillators to verify whether they meet the design requirements. However, there is currently no effective testing solution for crystal oscillators. Summary of the Invention

[0080] In addition, in the description of the present application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0082] See also Figure 1 A schematic block diagram of a crystal oscillator testing system provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The system may include a control device 11, a first electrically controlled switch 12, at least one oscillator chip 13 and a crystal resonator 14.

[0083] The control device 11 is connected to a first terminal of the first electrically controlled switch 12 and to an oscillator chip 13 . The oscillator chip 13 is connected to a second terminal of the first electrically controlled switch 12 ; and the crystal resonator 14 is connected to a third terminal of the first electrically controlled switch 12 .

[0084] When the first electronically controlled switch 11 is turned off, the first terminal and the second terminal are connected, and the second terminal and the third terminal are disconnected. At this time, the oscillator chip 13 is connected to the control device 11, but the crystal resonator 14 is not connected to the oscillator chip 13, that is, the crystal resonator 14 is not connected and is in a disconnected state.

[0085] When the first electronically controlled switch 11 is closed, the first and second terminals are disconnected, and the second and third terminals are connected. At this time, the crystal resonator 14 is connected to the oscillator chip 13, that is, the crystal resonator 14 is connected. It can be understood that in addition to being connected to the oscillator chip 13 through the first electronically controlled switch 12, the control device 11 is also additionally connected to the oscillator chip 13 to implement relevant control of the oscillator chip 13 (such as enable control, etc.).

[0086] The first electrically controlled switch 11 is opened by default. The control device 11 can control the first electrically controlled switch 11 to close, as required by the test item, so that the first electrically controlled switch 11 changes from an open state to a closed state. When the test item requires access to the crystal resonator 14, the first electrically controlled switch 11 is controlled to close. When the test item does not require access to the crystal resonator 14, the first electrically controlled switch 11 is in the default state, i.e., the open state.

[0087] It should be noted that the crystal oscillator includes a crystal resonator and an oscillator chip. By controlling the first electronically controlled switch 11 to be closed, the crystal resonator 14 and the oscillator chip 13 are connected, and the vibration generated by the crystal resonator 14 can be output through the oscillator chip 13.

[0088] The control device 11 may be an automated test equipment (ATE) or a host computer device that implements similar control functions, which is not limited here.

[0089] The types of crystal oscillators may include baseband oscillators, differential output oscillators, triple overtone oscillators, and voltage controlled oscillators. Depending on the type of crystal oscillator, the oscillator chip 13 may be different accordingly. For example, for a differential output oscillator, the pin diagram of the oscillator chip may be as follows: Figure 2 shown. Figure 2 In the oscillator chip pin diagram shown, the oscillator chip includes pins such as OE, XOUT, XIN, OUTN, OUTP, GND, and VDD. Among them, OE is the enable pin, XOUT is the signal output pin, XIN is the signal input pin, OUTN and OUTP are the differential signal output pins, and GND is the ground pin.

[0090] When the crystal oscillator is not a differential output oscillator but other types of oscillators, the pin diagram of the oscillator chip can be as follows: Figure 2 Similar, still includes OE, XOUT, XIN, GND and VDD pins. But different from Figure 2 , Figure 2 It includes two differential output pins, OUTN and OUTP, while other types of oscillator chips may only have one output pin.

[0091] The first electronically controlled switch 12 may be a relay, or other switching devices capable of achieving similar functions, which is not limited here.

[0092] For example, see Figure 3 This diagram shows the connection diagram of a relay and a crystal resonator provided by an embodiment of the present application. K1 is a certain type of relay, and U1 is a crystal resonator. K1 includes pins 1 through 8. When K1 is open, pins 2 and 3 are connected, and pins 7 and 6 are connected. When K1 is closed, pins 3 and 4 are connected, and pins 5 and 6 are connected. When U1 is connected, K1 is controlled to close; when K1 is open, U1 is not connected.

[0093] When the oscillator chip 13 to be tested is Figure 2 The chip shown in FIG. 1 has a first electrically controlled switch 12. Figure 3 K1, crystal resonator 14 is Figure 3 When U1 is Figure 2 The XOUT and XIN pins in Figure 3 Connect pin 3 and pin 6 of K1, Figure 3 Pins 2 and 7 of K1 are connected to the ATE equipment.

[0094] At this time, K1 is disconnected by default, that is, K1's pins 3 and 4 are not conducting, and pins 5 and 6 are not conducting. When the ATE device needs to be connected to U1, K1 is controlled to close to make pins 3 and 4 conducting, and pins 5 and 6 conducting, so that U1 and Figure 2 The oscillator chip is connected.

[0095] In this case, the first end of the first electronically controlled switch 12 may refer to pins 2 and 7 of K1 , the second end may refer to pins 3 and 6 of K1 , and the third end may refer to pins 4 and 5 of K1 .

[0096] The crystal oscillator test may include multiple test items. For example, it may include one or more of the following test items: pin open and short circuit test, signal input pin and signal output pin leakage current test, output pin leakage current test, equivalent resistance test, pull-up resistance test, dynamic current test, sleep current test, signal output pin voltage test, and pin frequency value test.

[0097] The control device 11 controls the pins corresponding to the test items in the oscillator chip according to each test item, or controls the first electronically controlled switch to be closed and controls the pins corresponding to the test items in the oscillator chip to obtain test data corresponding to the test items.

[0098] That is to say, the control device 11 can control the pins in the oscillator chip accordingly according to the needs of each test item to obtain corresponding test data; or control the first electronically controlled switch to close, and control the pins in the oscillator chip corresponding to the test item to obtain corresponding test data.

[0099] As can be seen above, by connecting the control device to the first end of the first electrically controlled switch, the oscillator chip to the second end of the first electrically controlled switch, and the crystal resonator to the third end of the first electrically controlled switch, the crystal resonator can be controlled to be connected and disconnected by controlling the opening and closing of the first electrically controlled switch. In this way, the crystal resonator can be connected or disconnected as required by each test item, and the pins of the oscillator chip can be controlled accordingly to complete the testing of each test item of the oscillator chip.

[0100] The embodiments of the present application can replace the crystal resonator and / or oscillator chip accordingly according to the test requirements to implement the test of the corresponding type of crystal oscillator. For example, when it is necessary to test a certain type of crystal oscillator, at least one of the crystal resonator and / or oscillator chip can be replaced to form the corresponding type of crystal oscillator, thereby completing the test of the crystal oscillator of that type. In this way, the test system provided by the embodiments of the present application can handle the testing of multiple types of crystal oscillators and has high compatibility; the test system architecture is relatively simple and the implementation difficulty is relatively low.

[0101] Based on the above embodiments, the control device 11 can control the closing of the first electronically controlled switch and control the pin corresponding to the test item in the oscillator chip to obtain the test data corresponding to the test item according to the needs of each test item; or control the pin corresponding to the test item in the oscillator chip to obtain the test data corresponding to the test item.

[0102] Normally, the test items such as pin open and short circuit test, signal input pin and signal output pin leakage current test, output pin leakage current test, equivalent resistance test and pull-up resistance test only need to control the corresponding pins without connecting to the crystal resonator 14.

[0103] At this time, for the test item of the pin open-short circuit test, the control device 11 can perform open-short circuit test control on the pins of the oscillator chip to obtain open-short circuit test data.

[0104] For the test item of leakage current test of signal input pin and signal output pin, the control device 11 can control the oscillator chip to power on, and control the enable pin and output pin of the oscillator chip to be in a floating state, to obtain the first leakage current of the signal input pin of the oscillator chip and the second leakage current of the signal output pin of the oscillator chip.

[0105] For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the test scenario, Figure 2 After the oscillator chip is powered on, the OE, OUTN, and OUTP pins are left floating, and the leakage current of XIN and XOUT is tested. At this time, the output pins include OUTP and OUTN, XIN is the signal input pin, and XOUT is the signal output pin.

[0106] For the test item of the output pin leakage current test, the control device 11 may control the enable pin to be in a closed state to obtain a third leakage current of the output pin.

[0107] For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the test scenario, the OE pin is controlled to be closed, and the leakage current of the two output pins OUTP and OUTN is tested.

[0108] For the equivalent resistance test, the control device 11 can apply a first voltage between the signal input pin and the signal output pin, obtain a first current between the signal input pin and the signal output pin, and obtain the equivalent resistance based on the first voltage and the first current.

[0109] The first voltage is a small voltage, that is, the first voltage is a voltage lower than a certain threshold.

[0110] For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the test scenario, a small voltage is applied between the XIN and XOUT pins, and the current between the two pins is measured. Based on the applied voltage and the measured current, the equivalent resistance can be calculated using R=U / I.

[0111] For the pull-up resistance test, the control device 11 may apply a second voltage to the enable pin to obtain a second current of the enable pin, and obtain the pull-up resistance of the enable pin according to the second voltage and the second current.

[0112] For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the test scenario, a voltage is applied to the OE pin and the current is measured. Based on the applied voltage and the measured current, the pull-up resistance of the OE pin can be calculated using R=U / I.

[0113] For some test items, it is necessary not only to control the pins of the oscillator chip to be tested, but also to control the first electronically controlled switch 12 to be closed to access the crystal resonator 14. In this case, the control device 11 not only needs to control the corresponding pins of the oscillator chip, but also controls the first electronically controlled switch 12 to be closed accordingly.

[0114] Exemplarily, the test items that need to control the pins of the oscillator chip and the first electronically controlled switch 12 may include: a dynamic current test, a sleep current test, a signal output pin voltage test, and a pin frequency value test.

[0115] At this time, for the test item of dynamic current test, the control device 11 can control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, and enable the enable pin of the oscillator chip to obtain the dynamic current of the oscillator chip.

[0116] For the sleep current test, the control device 11 may control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, and control the enable pin of the oscillator chip to put the oscillator chip into sleep mode, thereby obtaining the sleep current of the oscillator chip.

[0117] Among them, the current test can be performed on the VDD pin of the oscillator chip to obtain the dynamic current and sleep current.

[0118] For the test item of the signal output pin voltage test, the control device 11 can control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, and control the signal input pin of the oscillator chip to be at a high level and a low level respectively, to obtain the first voltage of the signal output pin when the signal input pin is at a high voltage, and the second voltage when the signal input pin is at a low voltage.

[0119] For example, the XIN pin is controlled to be a high voltage, and the first voltage VOH on the XOUT pin is tested at this time; the XIN pin is controlled to be a low voltage, and the second voltage VOL on the XIN pin is tested.

[0120] For the pin frequency value test, the control device 11 can control the first electronically controlled switch to close and enable the enable pin of the oscillator chip to obtain the frequency value of the output pin (such as the OUTN and OUTP pins) of the oscillator chip.

[0121] As can be seen from the above, through the test system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device can control the chip pins corresponding to the test items according to the needs of the test items, and also control the first electrically controlled switch to access the crystal resonator to complete the test of the corresponding test items.

[0122] Some types of crystal oscillators may include at least two output signal types. For example, a differential output oscillator may include three output signal types: LVPECL, HCSL, and LVDS. Some types of crystal oscillators may only have one output signal type.

[0123] For crystal oscillators with only one type of output signal, there is no need to connect to the output circuit. The test of each test item can be completed directly based on the pins of the oscillator chip.

[0124] For crystal oscillators with at least two types of output signals, it is necessary to select the corresponding type of output circuit according to the output signal type of the oscillator chip, and connect the output pin of the oscillator chip to the corresponding type of output circuit before completing the test of certain test items.

[0125] For example, see Figure 4 The pin diagram of an oscillator chip shown in FIG. 1 shows a pin diagram of an oscillator chip, which has only one OUT pin (output pin). Figure 2 The differential oscillator chip includes two output pins, OUTP and OUTN.

[0126] against Figure 4 The oscillator chip shown can complete the test of each test item without connecting to the output current. Figure 2The differential oscillator chip shown in the figure needs to be connected to the corresponding type of output circuit to complete the test of dynamic current test, sleep current test, signal output pin voltage test or pin frequency value test when testing these test items. Figure 2 When the output signal type of the differential oscillator chip is LVPECL, it is necessary to connect to the differential output circuit corresponding to LVPECL; when the output signal type of the differential oscillator chip is HCSL, it is necessary to connect to the differential output circuit corresponding to HCSL.

[0127] In order to further improve the compatibility of the test system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the test system in the embodiment of the present application can provide output circuits with multiple output signal types. The control device 11 can automatically connect to the corresponding type of output circuit according to the output signal type of the oscillator chip to be tested to cope with crystal oscillator tests with multiple output signal types, with higher compatibility.

[0128] That is, in some embodiments, see Figure 5 Another schematic block diagram of a crystal oscillator testing system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. The system may include a control device 11, a first electrically controlled switch 12, at least one oscillator chip 13 and a crystal resonator 14.

[0129] In addition, the system may further include at least two output modules corresponding to the output signal types; each output module may include a second electronically controlled switch 15 and an output circuit 16 .

[0130] It is understandable that Figure 5 Only one output module is shown, and the connection relationship of other output modules is similar. The second electronically controlled switch 15 is disconnected by default, and the control device 11 can control the second electronically controlled switch 15 of the corresponding output module to close according to test requirements to connect the corresponding type of output circuit.

[0131] At this time, the control device 11 is connected to the fourth terminal of the second electronically controlled switch 15; the oscillator chip 13 is connected to the fifth terminal of the second electronically controlled switch 15; and the output circuit 16 is connected to the sixth terminal of the second electronically controlled switch 15;

[0132] When the second electronically controlled switch 15 is turned off, the fifth terminal and the fourth terminal are connected, and the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal are disconnected. At this time, the output circuit 16 is not connected to the oscillator chip 13, that is, the output circuit is not connected.

[0133] When the second electronically controlled switch 15 is closed, the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal are connected, and the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal are disconnected. At this time, the output circuit 16 is connected to the oscillator chip 13, that is, the output circuit is connected.

[0134] Taking a differential output oscillator as an example, it may include three output signal types, namely LVPECL, HCSL, and LVDS, and correspondingly has three output modules.

[0135] For example, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and 8 The output circuit corresponding to a differential output signal type is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, K2 is a certain type of relay, which is an electrically controlled switch. R1 and R2 are connected in series to form an output circuit. The resistance values ​​of R1 and R2 can both be, for example, 50 ohms, which is not limited here.

[0136] K2 includes pins 1 through 8. When K2 is open, pins 2 and 3 are conductive, and pins 7 and 6 are conductive. When K2 is closed, pins 3 and 4 are conductive, and pins 5 and 6 are conductive. When a specific output circuit is required, K2 is closed; when K2 is open, the output circuit is not connected.

[0137] In this case, the fourth end of the second electronically controlled switch 15 may refer to pins 2 and 7 of K2, the fifth end may refer to pins 3 and 6 of K2, and the sixth end may refer to pins 4 and 5 of K2.

[0138] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 , it is possible to implement a test of a certain differential output signal type of the differential output oscillator. At this time, the oscillator chip 13 to be tested is Figure 2 The chip shown in FIG. 1 has a first electrically controlled switch 12. Figure 3 K1, crystal resonator 14 is Figure 3 In U1, the second electronically controlled switch 15 is K2.

[0139] Figure 2 The XOUT and XIN pins in Figure 3 Connect pins 3 and 6 of K1; Figure 3 Pins 2 and 7 of K1 are connected to the ATE equipment. Figure 6 Pins 3 and 6 of K2 are connected to Figure 2 The OUTN and OUTP pins of K1 are connected to the ATE device, and the pins 2 and 7 of K2 are connected to the ATE device.

[0140] When access is required Figure 6 When the output circuit of is tested, the test process can be as follows: the control device 11 controls Figure 3 The K1 relay is closed, VDD is powered, and the control Figure 6 The K2 relay in the Figure 2The oscillator chip in the ATE device works; after the oscillator chip works, the ATE device Figure 2 The OE pin is enabled; after enabling, Figure 2 The OUTN and OUTP pins in the circuit will output the corresponding differential signals; the differential signals output by the OUTN and OUTP pins pass through Figure 6 The output circuit shown can then be tested to obtain corresponding test data.

[0141] like Figure 7 As shown, K3 is a certain type of relay, which is an electrically controlled switch. R3 forms the output circuit. The resistance value of R3 can be, for example, 100 ohms, which is not limited here.

[0142] K3 includes pins 1 through 8. When K3 is open, pins 2 and 3 are conductive, and pins 7 and 6 are conductive. When K3 is closed, pins 3 and 4 are conductive, and pins 5 and 6 are conductive. When a specific output circuit is required, K3 is closed; when K3 is open, the output circuit is not connected.

[0143] In this case, the fourth end of the second electronically controlled switch 15 may refer to pins 2 and 7 of K3, the fifth end may refer to pins 3 and 6 of K3, and the sixth end may refer to pins 4 and 5 of K3.

[0144] Figure 7 Pins 3 and 6 of K3 can be connected to Figure 2 The OUTN and OUTP pins of K3 are connected to the ATE device, and the pins 2 and 7 of K3 are connected to the ATE device.

[0145] When access is required Figure 7 When testing the output circuit, the test process is the same as Figure 6 The testing process is similar and will not be described here.

[0146] like Figure 8 As shown, K4 is a certain type of relay, an electrically controlled switch. R4, R5, R6, and R7 form the output circuit. For example, the resistance of R4 can be 33 ohms, the resistance of R5 can be 33 ohms, the resistance of R6 can be 50 ohms, and the resistance of R7 can be 50 ohms, without limitation.

[0147] K4 includes pins 1 through 8. When K4 is open, pins 2 and 3 are conductive, and pins 7 and 6 are conductive. When K4 is closed, pins 3 and 4 are conductive, and pins 5 and 6 are conductive. When a specific output circuit is required, K4 is closed; when K4 is open, the output circuit is not connected.

[0148] In this case, the fourth end of the second electronically controlled switch 15 may refer to pins 2 and 7 of K4, the fifth end may refer to pins 3 and 6 of K4, and the sixth end may refer to pins 4 and 5 of K4.

[0149] Figure 8 Pin 3 and pin 6K of K4 can be connected to Figure 2 The OUTN and OUTP pins of K3 are connected to the ATE device, and the pins 2 and 7 of K3 are connected to the ATE device.

[0150] When access is required Figure 8 When testing the output circuit, the test process is the same as Figure 6 The testing process is similar and will not be described here.

[0151] For test items such as pin open and short circuit test, signal input pin and signal output pin leakage current test, output pin leakage current test, equivalent resistance test and pull-up resistance test, it is only necessary to control the corresponding pins of the oscillator chip without connecting to the output circuit.

[0152] For crystal oscillators with multiple output signal types, tests such as dynamic current testing, sleep current testing, signal output pin voltage testing, and pin frequency testing require not only controlling the oscillator chip's pins and first electrically controlled switch 12, but also controlling the second electrically controlled switch in the target output module to close. The target output module is determined based on the oscillator chip's output signal type. That is, the target output module corresponds to the same output signal type as the oscillator chip. For example, if the output signal type of the differential oscillator chip to be tested is LVPECL, the target output module is an output module corresponding to LVPECL.

[0153] At this time, for the dynamic current test item, the control device 11 can control the first electrically controlled switch to close, enable the enable pin of the oscillator chip, and control the second electrically controlled switch of the target output module to close to obtain the dynamic current of the oscillator chip.

[0154] For the sleep current test, the control device 11 can control the first electrically controlled switch to close, control the enable pin of the oscillator chip to put the oscillator chip into sleep mode, and control the second electrically controlled switch of the target output module to close to obtain the sleep current of the oscillator chip.

[0155] For the test item of the signal output pin voltage test, the control device 11 can control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, control the second electronically controlled switch of the target output module to be closed, and control the signal input pin of the oscillator chip to be at a high level and a low level respectively, to obtain the first voltage of the signal output pin when the signal input pin is at a high voltage, and the second voltage when the signal input pin is at a low voltage.

[0156] For the pin frequency value test, the control device 11 can control the first electrically controlled switch to close, control the second electrically controlled switch of the target output module to close, and enable the enable pin of the oscillator chip to obtain the frequency value of the output pin of the oscillator chip (such as the OUTN and OUTP pins).

[0157] As can be seen from the foregoing, the test system provided by the embodiments of the present application can select and connect a corresponding output circuit from a variety of output circuits with output signal types, depending on the output signal type of the oscillator chip. This allows for testing crystal oscillators with various output signal types, further improving system compatibility. Furthermore, the system hardware architecture is simple, making implementation relatively easy.

[0158] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, at least one oscillator chip is on the same wafer, and the wafer is arranged on a probe station. At this time, the three-temperature function of the probe station can be used to perform a three-temperature test on the crystal oscillator. Therefore, before testing each test item, the control device is also used to control the probe station to be at a preset temperature. For example, when a low-temperature environment test is required, the control device controls the probe station to be at a preset temperature, which is the temperature under a low-temperature environment; after completing the test of each test item under a low-temperature environment, the next temperature environment (such as a high-temperature environment) is tested. Three temperatures refer to low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature.

[0159] This allows the control equipment to test multiple oscillator chips on the same wafer, achieving wafer-level testing of crystal oscillators. High-reliability testing can be completed at the wafer stage, effectively reducing the cost of subsequent packaging and testing. Furthermore, the probe station's three-temperature capability enables three-temperature testing of crystal oscillators.

[0160] It should be noted that the test solution of the embodiment of the present application can perform electrical performance testing on the amplifier and feedback network of the crystal oscillator. However, the crystal resonator is mainly composed of quartz crystal, and the physical characteristic parameters of the quartz crystal cannot be tested.

[0161] The following describes the process on the control device side. The control device can control the pins corresponding to the test items in the oscillator chip, or control the first electronically controlled switch to close and control the pins corresponding to the test items in the oscillator chip to obtain test data corresponding to the test items.

[0162] In some possible implementations, see Figure 9 The test flow diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The process of controlling the pins corresponding to the test items in the oscillator chip and obtaining the test data corresponding to the test items according to the test items may include the following steps:

[0163] Step S901: Perform open-short circuit test control on the pins of the oscillator chip to obtain open-short circuit test data.

[0164] Step S902 : Control the oscillator chip to be powered on, and control the enable pin and output pin of the oscillator chip to be in a floating state, and obtain a first leakage current of the signal input pin of the oscillator chip and a second leakage current of the signal output pin of the oscillator chip.

[0165] Step S903: Control the enable pin to be in a closed state to obtain a third leakage current of the output pin.

[0166] Step S904: applying a first voltage between the signal input pin and the signal output pin, obtaining a first current between the signal input pin and the signal output pin, and obtaining an equivalent resistance according to the first voltage and the first current.

[0167] Step S905 : applying a second voltage to the enable pin to obtain a second current of the enable pin, and obtaining a pull-up resistor of the enable pin according to the second voltage and the second current.

[0168] In some possible implementations, see Figure 10 Another test flow diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein the first electrically controlled switch is controlled to be closed according to each test item, and the pin corresponding to the test item in the oscillator chip is controlled to obtain test data corresponding to the test item, may include the following steps:

[0169] Step S1001: Control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, and enable the enable pin of the oscillator chip to obtain the dynamic current of the oscillator chip.

[0170] Step S1002 : Control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, and control the enable pin of the oscillator chip to put the oscillator chip into sleep mode, thereby obtaining the sleep current of the oscillator chip.

[0171] Step S1003, control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, and control the signal input pin of the oscillator chip to be at a high level and a low level respectively, to obtain a first voltage of the signal output pin when the signal input pin is at a high voltage, and a second voltage when the signal input pin is at a low voltage.

[0172] Step S1004 : Control the first electronically controlled switch to be closed, and enable the enable pin of the oscillator chip to obtain the frequency value of the output pin of the oscillator chip.

[0173] In some possible implementations, the crystal oscillator test system further includes an output module corresponding to at least two output signal types; the output module includes a second electronically controlled switch and an output circuit;

[0174] At this time, when the test item is dynamic current test, sleep current test, signal output pin voltage test or pin frequency value test, the control module also needs to control the second electronically controlled switch in the target output module to close. The target output module is an output module determined according to the output signal type of the oscillator chip.

[0175] In some possible implementations, at least one oscillator chip is on a same wafer, and the wafer is placed on a probe station; before testing each test item, the method further includes: controlling the probe station to be at a preset temperature.

[0176] It should be noted that the relevant processes on the control device side can be found in the relevant introduction on the system side above, and will not be repeated here.

[0177] After obtaining the test data of each test item, it can be determined whether it fails according to each test data. When failure is determined, BIN classification is performed to distinguish in which mode the chip fails.

[0178] For example, for test values ​​such as dynamic current, sleep current, leakage current, resistance, voltage and frequency, it can be determined whether the test value obtained is greater than or less than a certain threshold. If so, it fails; if not, it does not fail.

[0179] It is understandable that the test order of each test item can be arbitrary. For example, the embodiment of the present application provides a more reasonable and efficient test order (from front to back): pin open and short circuit test, dynamic current test, sleep current test, signal output pin voltage test, pin frequency value test, signal input pin and signal output pin leakage current test, output pin leakage current test, equivalent resistance test, pull-up resistance test.
