Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is used for testing the schematic diagram of a test macro 20 of a communicator for the embodiment of the invention.Test macro 20 includes a receiving element 200, a transmission unit 202, a serial coffret 204, a Date Conversion Unit 206 and a data processing equipment 208.In test macro 20, data processing equipment 208 is used for producing a plurality of test signals, and Date Conversion Unit 206 then is used for test signal is converted to test pattern.Then, transmission unit 202 can see through serial transmission interface 204 test pattern is sent to receiving element 200, and the receiving element of then being located in the communicator 200 can drive application AP_1~AP_n accordingly, makes the designer can judge the usefulness of communicator according to this.Wherein, the test signal that produced of data processing equipment 208 includes a test data and a corresponding time sequence information.If a test signal is the high speed test signal, then its test data is a plurality of bit data with transmission arranged side by side; If a test signal is a low-speed test signal, then its test data is single bit data.
Further, please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram that is used for a data transaction flow process 30 of Fig. 2 Date Conversion Unit 206.Data transaction flow process 30 is in order to be converted to test pattern with test signal, and it comprises following steps:
Step 300: beginning.
Step 302: receive the test signal that data processing equipment 208 is exported, this test signal includes a test data and a corresponding time sequence information.
Step 304: when this test data includes a plurality of bit data of transmission arranged side by side,, promote an operating frequency, be converted to sequence bit data, thereby produce test pattern with these a plurality of bit data that will transmit side by side according to this time sequence information.
Step 306: in this test data include one digit number according to the time, according to this time sequence information, reduce an operating frequency, so that work period of this bit data is prolonged, thereby produce test pattern.
Step 308: finish.
See through data transaction flow process 30, Date Conversion Unit 206 can be according to the time sequence information of test signal, conversion testing data.When test signal was the high speed test signal, the present invention saw through and promotes operating frequency, long numeric data arranged side by side is converted to the bit data of sequence; When test signal was low-speed test signal, the present invention saw through and reduces operating frequency, with the work period prolongation with single bit data.In addition, data transaction flow process 30 can with a default test pattern, replace this test pattern according to a control signal in addition.In other words, Date Conversion Unit 206 can change functions such as sequence, extension, content replacement side by side to the test signal that data processing unit 208 is exported.
Therefore, in test macro 20, for the high speed test data, data processing equipment 208 can see through load mode arranged side by side and transmit long numeric data in a special time segmentation; Date Conversion Unit 206 then can promote operating frequency, so that bit data arranged side by side is converted to the sequence bit data according to data transaction flow process 30.In other words, because Date Conversion Unit 206 can be converted to a plurality of bit data arranged side by side the bit data of sequence, therefore, data processing equipment 208 can see through the time compression mode, and the high speed test data are sent to Date Conversion Unit 206.Thus, when test data surpassed service speed, the present invention still can see through the time compression mode, keeps the test normal operation.On the contrary, for the low speed test data, data processing equipment 208 can transmit single bit data in a special time segmentation; Date Conversion Unit 206 then can reduce operating frequency according to data transaction flow process 30, and the work period prolongation with single bit data is reduced to original sequential.In other words, because Date Conversion Unit 206 can prolong work period of single bit data, therefore, data processing equipment 208 can be with the low speed test data replacing than lower-order digit, and be sent to Date Conversion Unit 206.Thus, the data volume of required transmission is reduced, to promote testing efficiency.
Further, the implementation about Date Conversion Unit 206 please refer to Fig. 4.As shown in Figure 4, Date Conversion Unit 206 includes a reference frequency generator 400, a high speed data conversion unit 402, a low speed data converting unit 404 and a memory 406.Reference frequency generator 400 is used for producing an operating frequency Fref.High speed data conversion unit 402 and low speed data converting unit 404 all are coupled between reference frequency generator 400 and the data processing equipment 208, are used for respectively handling at a high speed and the test signal of low speed.At the high speed test signal, high speed data conversion unit 402 can see through a frequency multiplier (not being plotted among Fig. 4) or other frequency adjustment unit according to the time sequence information of correspondence, promotes operating frequency Fref, is converted to the sequence bit data with the bit data that will transmit side by side.At low-speed test signal, low speed data converting unit 404 can see through a frequency eliminator (not being plotted among Fig. 4) or other frequency adjustment unit according to the time sequence information of correspondence, reduces operating frequency Fref, with the work period prolongation with single bit data.In addition, in Fig. 4, memory 406 is used for storing predetermined pattern, when high speed data conversion unit 402 or low speed data converting unit 404 receive specific control signal, high speed data conversion unit 402 or low speed data converting unit 404 can be by choosing the corresponding preset pattern in the memory 406, and export transmission unit 202 to.Therefore, Date Conversion Unit 206 can change functions such as sequence, extension, content replacement side by side to the test signal that data processing unit 208 is exported.
In sum, see through test macro 20, Date Conversion Unit 206 can change functions such as sequence, extension, content replacement side by side to the test signal that data processing unit 208 is exported, make data processing equipment 208 to carry out time compression or to prolong running to high speed test data or low speed test data, keeping the test normal operation, and promote testing efficiency.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equalizations of being made according to the present patent application claim change and revise, and all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
