In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and thus the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
At present, because the chip integration level is higher, the test of the NAND Flash chip is usually executed by Automatic Test Equipment (ATE); in the test process, whether the chip has faults is judged by comparing whether the data input and output by the chip are the same.
The DDR3 mode has more data select pulses (DQS) than the SDR mode. The DQS signal is generated in the chip after the read operation is enabled, and is used for accurately distinguishing each transmission cycle in one clock cycle, so that signals between the memory and the memory controller are synchronized, and a receiving party can accurately receive data; therefore, the interface of the existing NAND Flash chip is mostly in a DDR3 mode; but at a data transfer rate of DDR3 mode800MT/S, the data transmission period is 2.5 ns; as the data transmission rate increases, parasitic capacitance interference caused by defects caused by the ATE process is amplified; in particular, when the chip operating frequency is high, the charge stored by the parasitic capacitance will interfere with the circuit characteristics. Because the pulse interval is too short, the parasitic capacitance is not in time to discharge, and the reference voltage which should be constant is continuously increased; as shown in fig. 2, the effective time t in the test process is enabledAC(lower curve) and dead time tInvalid(upper curve) is gradually reduced, so that the measured relevant time sequence parameters in the test process are inaccurate, and finally, the subsequent test cannot be carried out; the time sequence test of the NAND Flash in the DDR3 mode can not be normally carried out.
In order to solve the technical problem that the conventional automatic test equipment cannot normally perform time sequence test on the NAND Flash in the DDR3 mode, the invention provides a NAND Flash time sequence test method, which comprises the steps of recording comparison results of all bytes in the whole Page when input data and output data are compared, correspondingly storing the comparison results into an error capturing memory divided into a plurality of areas, and respectively testing each area in the error capturing memory to obtain time sequence parameters corresponding to each area and conforming to the actual condition, and meanwhile, setting the application of the memory by a plurality of clocks to ensure that ATE can normally perform time sequence test on the NAND Flash in the DDR3 mode and overcome the frequency limitation of the test equipment.

In this step, the error trapping memory is divided into N regions according to a plurality of column addresses, that is, according to the difference of byte addresses, and in the subsequent acquisition of timing parameters, each small region is tested instead,the method means that each test only tests the comparison result of partial byte data in one Page, so that the phenomenon of parasitic capacitance interference caused by too short pulse interval and too late discharge of parasitic capacitance is avoided; therefore, the valid window time t of the data corresponding to each region can be accurately testedDVWAnd data valid region time tstrobe
Further, obtaining the effective window time t of data corresponding to each regionDVWComprises the following steps:
s431, scanning the comparison result in each area in the error capturing memory according to the rows, and recording the number a of the comparison result in each area as 0;

in this step, the data valid region time t corresponding to the region is determinedstrobeThe write clock is arranged in the memory, and can generate sampling pulses for accurately reading the area; if the calculation result is larger than the difference requirement, the second area and the first area do not meet the Magnum-V sampling difference requirement, and the data valid area time t corresponding to the first area needs to be setstrobeThe interference generated by the time sequence offset of the chip in the DDR3 mode can be overcome only by writing the data into the clock setting memory, and the read data of the NAND Flash can be correctly acquired.
