[0031] At present, reference Figure 5 In the prior art, before the camera module is connected with the image test module through the second connector, it needs to pass through the system test module, that is, two test modules share a line, and when the transmitted signal is transmitted to the image test module through the system test module, it also needs to pass through two board-to-board connectors. The two board-to-board connectors serve as an adapter to adapt the transmitted signal, which greatly affects the signal transmission rate, so that the signal transmission rate of the camera module test board is not high, and the demand for signal transmission rate is increasing, so the traditional test board has gradually been difficult to meet people's needs.
[0032] Based on this, the present application proposes a test board control circuit, which separates the lines of different test modules in the test board by introducing a multiplexer, to promote the improvement of signal transmission rate.
[0033] The following references Figure 1 The test board control circuit of the embodiment of the present application is described.
[0034] It can be understood that the test board control circuit of the embodiment of the application comprises a first connector, a second connector, a system test module and a multiplexer, the system test module is used for testing the camera module, the multiplexer is connected with the system test module, one end of the first connector is connected with the multiplexer, and the other end is used for being connected with the camera module, one end of the second connector is connected with the multiplexer, and the other end is used for being connected with the image test module, and the multiplexer is used for transmitting the signal of the camera module to the image test module or the system test module.
[0035] The beneficial effects of the test board control circuit of the embodiment of the application can be that, in the camera module test board of the prior art, the line for transmitting the signal output by the camera module to the image test module and the line for transmitting the signal to the system test module are the same, and the application introduces the multiplexer as a signal separator, so that the line for the image test module and the line for the system test module are separated, and when the signal input by the camera module is transmitted to the image test module, it no longer passes through the two board-to-board connectors of the system test module, that is, the signal is no longer transmitted to the system test module when it is transmitted to the image test module, the signal switching is reduced, the continuity of impedance is ensured, the signal loss is reduced, and the signal transmission rate is improved.
[0036] For example, in some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the camera module is connected with the multiplexer through the first connector, the multiplexer is also connected with the second connector and the system test module respectively, the second connector is also connected with the image test module, and the switching of the lines can be performed in the multiplexer, that is, the line for the multiplexer and the system test module and the line for the multiplexer and the second connector can only be conducted at the same time. For example, when the multiplexer and the system test module are conducted, the system test module starts to work, at this time, the multiplexer and the second connector are cut off, and thus the image test module does not work, when the multiplexer and the second connector are switched to be conducted, the image test module starts to work, at this time, the multiplexer and the system test module are cut off, and the system test module does not work, thereby realizing the separation of the lines of different test modules and promoting the improvement of the signal transmission rate. The system test module is used for detecting whether the line of the camera module exists an open circuit, the image test module is used for testing whether the photographing, video and other functions of the camera module are normal, and at the same time, the second connector is also connected with a control module, and the control module controls the multiplexer to switch the test module through the second connector.

The power supply not only supplies power for the multiplexer, but also charges the first capacitor, the second capacitor and the third capacitor. When the power supply end is suddenly powered off, the first capacitor, the second capacitor and the third capacitor are in a discharging state, thereby continuing to supply power to the multiplexer, so as to prevent the current from changing too much to damage the circuit.
[0041] It can be understood that the test board control circuit includes a voltage stabilizing module, the voltage stabilizing module is connected with the second connector, the re-driver and the power supply module respectively, and the voltage stabilizing module is used for stabilizing the input voltage.

[0043] It can be understood that the voltage stabilizing module includes a voltage stabilizer and a second resistor, the input end of the voltage stabilizer is connected with the second connector through the second resistor, the output end of the voltage stabilizer is connected with the re-driver and the first resistor respectively, and the grounding end of the voltage stabilizer is grounded.
[0044] For example, in some embodiments, with reference to Figure 3In the embodiment, R301 is a second resistor, U3 is a voltage stabilizer, the voltage stabilizer has 9 terminal pins, the second connector is connected with the pin 8 (an input end) of the voltage stabilizer through the second resistor, thereby limiting the current input to the voltage stabilizer, preventing the voltage stabilizer from being damaged by too large current, the pin 1 (an output end) of the voltage stabilizer is connected with the heavy driver and the power supply module through the EX_3V3 end, and the pin 9 (a ground end) of the voltage stabilizer is grounded, so that the stability of internal lines of the voltage stabilizer is maintained.
[0045] It can be understood that the voltage stabilization module includes a fourth capacitor, a fifth capacitor and a third resistor, the fourth capacitor and the fifth capacitor are connected in parallel, one end of the fourth capacitor is connected between the second resistor and the input end of the voltage stabilizer, and the other end is grounded, and the enable end of the voltage stabilizer is connected between the second resistor and the input end of the voltage stabilizer through the third resistor.

[0049] It can be understood that the second connector is a high-speed connector.
[0050] For example, in some embodiments, the second connector is a high-speed connector, so as to realize high-speed transmission of the input signal of the camera module and improve the rate of signal transmission.
