[0018] See Figure 1 This utility model relates to a temperature chip test circuit that supports fast and slow power-on and fast reset, mainly including chip U1, chip U2, and port P1 of the chip under test.

[0019] Chip U1 is a four-channel single-pole single-throw analog switch, model number 74LV4066; chip U2 is an I / O expander chip with IIC interface, model number TCA9534.

[0020] Chip U2's A0 (pin 1), A1 (pin 2), and A2 (pin 3) pins are all grounded and used to set the slave address of chip U2 in the IIC bus; chip U2's SDA pin (pin 15) and SCL pin (pin 14) are connected to the external IIC bus for communication with the host; chip U2's pins 4, 5, 6, and 7 are general-purpose I / O pins, which are connected to chip U1's pins 13, 5, 6, and 12 respectively, for controlling the on and off of chip U1's switches; chip U2's pin 16 is connected to the power supply VCC, and a decoupling capacitor C2 is also connected to chip U2's pin 16.

[0021] Pin 1 of chip U1 is connected to power supply VCC. Pin 4 is connected to power supply VCC through resistor R1. Pins 8 and 11 are connected to GND through resistor R2 and capacitor C3, respectively. Pins 2, 3, 9, and 10 of chip U1 are all connected to pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test, which supplies power to the chip under test. Pin 14 of chip U1 is connected to power supply VCC, and decoupling capacitor C1 is also connected to pin 14 of chip U1.

[0022] The specific implementation of the temperature chip test circuit that supports fast and slow power-on and fast reset according to this utility model is as follows: 1. In the default state, the output of pins 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the control chip U2 is 0, which makes all four switches of the chip U1 in the open state. At this time, the voltage of pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test is 0, and then the chip under test is connected.

[0023] 2. Quick Power-On Test: Pin 4 of control chip U2 outputs 1, while pins 5, 6, and 7 output 0, thus closing the first switch of chip U1 and opening the other three switches; power supply VCC supplies power to pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test through the first switch of chip U1. Current flow is as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the waveform of pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the image. Next, the temperature and current of the chip under test are read to assess whether rapid power-up affects the normal operation of the chip.

[0024] 3. Quick Power-On Test Recovery: Considering the potential presence of decoupling capacitors at the power supply of the chip under test in the original test scheme, the voltage at pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test tends to slowly decay and fail to return to zero completely after switch 1 of chip U1 is opened. Therefore, an active discharge circuit needs to be added. Control chip U2 outputs 1 at pin 6 and 0 at pins 4, 5, and 7, thereby closing the third switch of chip U1 and opening the other three switches. Pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test is grounded through the third switch of chip U1 and resistor R2, forming a discharge circuit. The current flow is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the waveform of pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0025] 4. Slow Power-On Test: Control chip U2 outputs 1 at pins 5 and 7, and 0 at pins 4 and 6, closing the second and fourth switches of chip U1 while opening the other two switches. At this time, power supply VCC charges capacitor C3 through resistor R1 and the second and fourth switches of chip U1, achieving a slow power-on effect at pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test. In practical applications, the slow power-on rate can be changed by adjusting the values ​​of resistor R1 and capacitor C3. Current flow is as follows... Figure 6 As shown, the waveform of pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test is as follows: Figure 7 As shown. Next, the temperature and current of the chip under test are read to assess whether slow power-up affects the normal operation of the chip.

[0026] 5. Slow Power-On Test Recovery: Pins 6 and 7 of control chip U2 output 1, and pins 4 and 5 output 0, closing the third and fourth switches of chip U1 and opening the other two switches. At this time, pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test forms a discharge circuit to ground through the third switch of chip U1 and resistor R2. Simultaneously, the stored voltage on capacitor C3 discharges to ground through the third and fourth switches of chip U1 and resistor R2, achieving a fast and thorough reset operation to facilitate the rapid commencement of the next test. Current flow is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the waveform of pin 1 of port P1 of the chip under test is as follows: Figure 9 As shown.
