A test point is located between the NAND device under test and the motherboard to test communication between the NAND device and the FPGA motherboard. The power conversion circuit has multiple channels for converting input voltages into multiple output voltages. The voltage selection circuit receives the output voltage of the power conversion circuit as input, and the power selection circuit selects the corresponding voltage to power the first and second NAND sockets.

[0023] like Figure 6 As shown, the first NAND socket is a BGA152 packaged NAND socket. Its I / O pins are connected to connector J1. Multiple parallel filter capacitors are connected between the power pins and ground of the first NAND socket. Due to the large number of pins on this socket, unconnected pins are not shown for clarity.

[0024] like Figure 7As shown, the second NAND socket is a BGA154 packaged NAND socket. Its I / O pins are connected to connector J1. Multiple parallel filter capacitors are connected between the power pins and ground of the second NAND socket. Due to the large number of pins on this socket, unconnected pins are not shown for clarity.

[0025] In this embodiment, the power conversion circuit is implemented based on the chip EML3175. The input end of the chip EML3175 is connected to the input voltage, and the input voltage is connected to the enable end of the chip EML3175 through a pull-up resistor. The output end of the chip EML3175 outputs the converted voltage through a voltage divider and filtering circuit.

[0026] like Figure 3 、 4 This embodiment has 4 power conversion circuits, which are Figure 3 The power conversion circuit shown in a converts the +5V input voltage into +3.3V. Figure 3 The power conversion circuit shown in b converts the +5V input voltage into +2.5V. Figure 4 The power conversion circuit shown in a converts the +5V input voltage into +1.8V. Figure 4 The power conversion circuit shown in Figure b converts the +5V input voltage into +1.2V. In the power conversion circuit, two resistors form a voltage divider resistor. Figure 3 Taking circuit a as an example, resistors R8 and R11 form a voltage divider resistor. Resistor R8 is connected between the output terminal of chip EML3175 and the feedback voltage terminal. Resistor R11 is connected between the feedback voltage terminal of chip EML3175 and ground. Inductor L1 and capacitors C12 and C13 form a filter circuit.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the voltage selection circuit has two paths, each consisting of a 3-pin connector and a jumper. Two pins of the 3-pin connector are connected to the output voltage of the voltage conversion circuit, called pin 1 and pin 3, respectively. The other pin of the 3-pin connector is connected to the operating voltage of the first NAND socket or the second NAND socket, called pin 2. The jumper is connected between pins 1 and 2 or between pins 2 and 3.

A 5V-to-3.3V power chip and a 5V-to-1.8V power chip are added to the test board, providing 3.3V and 1.8V voltages for the BGA152 packaged NAND Flash. A 5V-to-2.5V power chip and a 5V-to-1.2V power chip are added to provide 2.5V and 1.2V voltages for the BGA154 packaged NAND Flash. The 3.3V and 2.5V voltages are selected via a 3-pin connector and jumper cap, while the 1.8V and 1.2V voltages are selected via a 3-pin connector and jumper cap. The voltage value is selected based on the NAND Flash package used.

[0030] The test board is compatible with both BGA152 and BGA154 Flash Socket packages, allowing testing of all NAND Flash chips from all manufacturers and models on a single test board. Test points for data and control signals are also reserved on the board (via connector J5), making it easier to test communication between the FPGA and NAND Flash chips, as well as read and write timing, to verify communication between the main control unit and the NAND Flash in subsequent products.
