Description

Scanning tester
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of proving installation, refer to a kind of scanning tester that the inside components and parts of electronic installation is carried out debug or renewal especially.
Background technology
The mode of previous general tester substrate, mostly by the surface of substrate, utilize sonde method to carry out what is called " plug-in circuit test (in-Circuit Test; be called for short ICE) ", with the function of learning components and parts normally whether, yet, along with the production technology of computing machine and various information products is constantly weeded out the old and bring forth the new, add that the shaping-orientation of electronics and IT products all is to be trend with compact now, make the chip installed on the inside of various electronic products and the circuit board and the quantity and the density of components and parts all improve fast, cause installing the pitch of the foot of each components and parts, gradually less than the pitch of detecting probe, therefore, the method for previous plug-in circuit test promptly can't satisfy demand now.
Therefore, another kind be referred to as " JTAG (and be so-called boundary scan testing: Boundary Scan Test) " test mode promptly in response to and give birth to, and the method for testing of so-called JTAG, it is the whole extraneous input and output foot of scan IC components and parts in regular turn, the test data of acquisition input/output terminal, and then the function of test components and parts inside, and generally use the test mode of JTAG, be to connect at mispluging of components and parts, input/output signal between external circuitry and components and parts monitors, mutual connection test between components and parts, and the functional test of internal logic circuit, convenient test not only, and because its test speed is fast, thus welcome by each manufacturer deeply, in addition, can carry out jtag test via extraneous main frame, have elasticity in the use.
And chip or microprocessor in the exploitation at present all have jtag interface, for in order to detect or debug, yet, when this described chip or microprocessor after research and development are finished, common this jtag interface does not promptly have chance again to be used, the compact electronic product of volume particularly, carry out jtag test and promptly need remove shell, and the signal of JTAG online add the weldering connecting interface after, can detect, debug or renewal firmware program, not only quite inconvenience, and often this electronic product is damaged, therefore, just have the dealer to develop a kind of " the JTAG debug interface (Debugging Interface) of tool USB ", this debug interface is to have USB (Universal Serial Bus, universal serial) connectivity port and a control chip are connected on the electronic product by this usb connecting port, promptly can carry out debug and burning program to this electronic product apace by this control chip, owing to making things convenient for and being tool elasticity, welcome by electronic product relevant user and worker.
In addition, for another kind for " chip system " (System-On-Chip, abbreviation SOC) test, also meet with the problem identical with above-mentioned jtag test, though be to be equipped with universal asynchronous receiving-transmitting transmission (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) interface on the general chip system, when carrying out program debugging, export debugging information with the assisting software development personnel, but when this chip system enters volume production after the stage, for avoiding taking up room, this universal asynchronous receiving-transmitting transmission interface promptly no longer keeps, if debug or firmware update will be carried out again, promptly need remove product casing.Though the JTAG debug interface of aforementioned tool USB can solve the test problem of JTAG, but can't carry out debug for chip system, and because the price of the JTAG debug interface of aforementioned tool USB is too expensive, the stepping back that also makes the consumer hope is because when a product needed the cost of both expensive to buy, this product promptly need have extremely excellent function, can improve consumer's purchase intention, therefore, how to use least cost, promptly become a major challenge of relevant manufacturer to address the above problem.
Summary of the invention
Because the method for testing of aforementioned use JTAG, cost is too expensive and can't many disappearances such as test to chip system, the inventor is through the permanent research and experiment of making great efforts, finally development and Design goes out a kind of scanning tester of the present invention, in the hope of reducing required cost, and provide more test functions whereby.
A purpose of the present invention, be to provide a kind of scanning tester, and this scanning tester is provided with the one scan test cell, on this scan test cell, be provided with a signal transport part, this signal transport part is connected with the interior set standard connecting interface of this scanning tester, and this standard connecting interface is to be connected with an electronic installation in addition, by this standard connecting interface, between the inside components and parts of this scan test cell and this electronic installation, be to transmit boundary scan testing data or chip system test data, detect with inside components and parts to this electronic installation, action such as debug or renewal.
By of the present invention, can test chip system very easily, and should test simply, test speed is fast, and cost is lower, in addition, also can provide multiple test function.
