[0016] In a further embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a point cloud reference subcircuit, which is connected to the ADC interface of the chip to be tested and is used to calibrate the ADC power supply voltage and core operating voltage of the chip to be tested.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the utility model can achieve the following working process:
[0018] Power on the main control subcircuit, cooperate with the host computer to configure the test vector project for the main control subcircuit, and start the test at the same time. Burn the test program into the flash of the chip under test through the main control subcircuit. After burning, the chip under test communicates with the main control subcircuit through communication unit A, informing the main control subcircuit that the test can be started;
[0019] First, the main control subcircuit provides a reference voltage input to the ADC of the chip under test, and the chip under test performs self-calibration. After the self-calibration is completed, the main control subcircuit collects the VDD_CORE and VDD_ANA of the chip under test to determine whether the calibration is successful. If the calibration is successful, the next test station is carried out. Otherwise, the test is terminated and the test chip is judged as a NG chip.
[0020] When the calibration is successful, the main control sub-circuit provides a 1K square wave reference frequency to the IO of the chip under test, and the chip under test performs self-calibration. After the self-calibration is completed, the specific IO port outputs a low level for 200ms. The main control sub-circuit collects the IO low level time to determine whether the calibration is successful. If the calibration is successful, the next test station will be carried out. Otherwise, the test is terminated and the test chip is determined to be NG.
[0021] When the main control subcircuit successfully collects the IO low-level calibration, the main control subcircuit sends a command to put the chip under test into the normal state. The current sensing amplifier collects the current in the current state through the sampling resistor. The main control determines whether the current value is within the qualified range to determine whether the current indicator of the chip under test is qualified. If it is qualified, it proceeds to the next test station. Otherwise, the test is terminated and the test chip is determined to be NG.
[0022] When the current value is within the qualified range, the main control sub-circuit sends a command to the chip under test to perform a communication unit self-test. The communication unit transmits and receives data through IIC / SPI / UART, and then compares the data. If the data is consistent, it indicates that the test item has passed and the next station test will proceed. Otherwise, the test is terminated and the test chip is determined to be NG.
[0023] When the data is consistent, the main control sub-circuit sends an instruction to the IIS test module. The module sends a fixed known audio data through the standard protocol. After receiving the audio data, the chip under test performs self-consistency. If the data is consistent, it indicates that the test item has passed and the next test station is tested. Otherwise, the test is terminated and the test chip is judged as NG.
[0024] When the audio data is consistent, the main control subcircuit sends a test audio instruction to the host computer, which in turn sends the test instruction to the audio analyzer. The audio analyzer outputs a 1K@5mV sine wave to the ADC of the chip under test. At the same time, it collects the DAC of the chip under test after audio operation and calculates whether its SNR and THD+N values are within the qualified range to determine whether the audio performance indicators of the chip under test are qualified. If qualified, it proceeds to the next test station. Otherwise, the test is terminated and the test chip is determined to be NG.
[0025] When the audio performance is qualified, the main control sub-circuit writes key parameters such as the chip ID and voltage and frequency calibration values into the efuse of the chip under test to facilitate subsequent chip maintenance; after burning is completed, the main control chip reads the parameters in the efuse to see if they are correct and uploads these parameters to the server. The chip U1 in the main control sub-circuit burns the customized function into the flash of the chip under test, thus completing the entire test process.
[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these equivalent transformations all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
