Embodiment
See also Fig. 2, the present invention is for developing the preferred embodiment block schematic diagram that for clock signal frequency verifying device, it is mainly used in the accuracy of checking signal source of clock 20, this device mainly includes relatively detecting device 22 of a frequency divider 21 and, this frequency divider 21 receives the clock signal to be measured that this signal source of clock 20 is exported, and the activation of a corresponding reset signal, and begin triggering that should clock signal to be measured and move, and then export measured signal behind the frequency division of a bipotential, wherein this clock signal to be measured has a period 1 T1, behind this frequency division measured signal have one second round T2, and T2/n=T1 (n is the multiple of frequency division).As for this relatively 22 of detecting devices to the activation that should reset signal and the triggering of this reference clock signal, the signal potential of measured signal after a predetermined period Ts just detects this frequency division, and measured signal is in one first current potential behind detected this frequency division from the 1st time point to a p-q time point, and export a signal working properly when the signal potential of measured signal is in one second current potential behind detected this frequency division on p+1 time point, if detected current potential is not inconsistent above-mentioned condition, then export a rub-out signal, because measured signal has rising edge and a negative edge can be for judging behind this frequency division in one-period, therefore p can be defined as (T2/ (2Ts)), then is defined as T1/Ts as for q.Can be sent by a reference clock signal and reset signal generation source 23 as for above-mentioned reference clock signal and reset signal.
See also Fig. 3 again, it is for to enumerate the coherent signal waveform synoptic diagram that an example describes to above-mentioned technological means, wherein the predetermined period Ts of reference clock signal (REFCLK) is 20 nanoseconds (ns), and the variation of reset signal (RESET#) is along aliging with a negative edge of this reference clock signal.And because clock signal to be measured (CLK) that this signal source of clock 20 is exported and reference clock signal and asynchronous, therefore in the A time range after reset signal (RESET#) is changed to noble potential, clock signal to be measured (CLK) all might change noble potential into by electronegative potential, (this example was 40 nanoseconds and the length of this A time range is just for the period 1 T1 of this clock signal to be measured (CLK), just become 2 frequencys multiplication relation with 20 nanoseconds of predetermined period, but in fact might not be necessary for 2 frequencys multiplication relation, 1 frequency multiplication relation also can, it is relevant with allowed frequency error).In addition, this activation that relatively 22 pairs of detecting devices should reset signal and the triggering of this reference clock signal rising edge, the signal potential of measured signal after this predetermined period Ts (20 nanosecond) just detects this frequency division, and put count value (STROBE NO) its detection time as shown in the figure.Right this routine frequency divider 21 is one 9 a frequency divider (promptly divided by 512), and T2 second round of measured signal (TESTCLK) just equals 40*512 nanosecond behind the feasible frequency division of being exported.Therefore, under perfect condition, its rising edge first time after reset signal activates should take place in measured signal behind the frequency division (TESTCLK) in the B time range, that is to say, should be electronegative potential all smaller or equal to putting detected signal potential the 510th time detection time, and all should be noble potential more than or equal to putting detected signal potential the 513rd time detection time.As in B time range (40 nanosecond),, do not list consideration in because two current potentials are all possible.In addition, under perfect condition, its negative edge first time after reset signal activates should take place in measured signal behind the frequency division (TESTCLK) in C time range (40 nanosecond), that is to say, should be noble potential all smaller or equal to putting detected signal potential the 1022nd time detection time, and all should be electronegative potential more than or equal to putting detected signal potential the 1025th time detection time.As in C time range (40 nanosecond), because two current potentials are all possible, so also do not list consideration in.
In sum, the frequency of the clock signal of being exported when this signal source of clock 20 in this example to be measured (CLK) is 25Mhz and keep necessarily in the ideal, and above-mentioned test result must be set up and make comparison detecting device 22 continue output one signals working properly.Keep one regularly but the frequency F of the clock signal of being exported when this signal source of clock 20 to be measured (CLK) is slightly larger than 25Mhz, the variation of measured signal behind the frequency division (TESTCLK) is along moving to the left of oscillogram.Consider an extremity, when measured signal behind the frequency division (TESTCLK) moves to Far Left (as D arrow in figure shown in along the position by rightmost in producing m variation edge and its variation, totally 50 nanoseconds), so just, can extrapolate its cycle should be 40-50/ (m*512/2) nanosecond, and frequency F then is its inverse.Thus, as long as the actual frequency of clock signal to be measured (CLK) is slightly larger than above-mentioned frequency F, relatively detecting device 22 in its m variation along the time will inevitably export a rub-out signal.Consider another extremity again, when measured signal behind the frequency division (TESTCLK) moves to Far Left (as E arrow in figure shown in along the position by the left side in producing m variation edge and its variation, totally 10 nanoseconds) time, so just, can extrapolate its cycle should be 40-10/ (m*512/2) nanosecond, and frequency F then is its inverse.Thus, as long as the actual frequency of clock signal to be measured (CLK) is slightly less than above-mentioned frequency F, relatively detecting device 22 in its m change along the time certainty still export a signal working properly.In the same manner, a frequency be slightly less than 25Mhz but still keep certain clock signal to be measured (CLK), its analytic process and above-mentioned there is no too different, only for changing along position moving direction opposite (shown in F arrow and G arrow among the figure).
Conclude according to above-mentioned analysis and to draw following formula:
Absolute incorrect frequency: 1/ (T1 ± (q+ (1/2)) * Ts/ (m*n/2))
Frequency range is absolutely correct: 1/ (T1 ± (1/2) * Ts/ (m*n/2))
And when being example and m=4, its absolute incorrect frequency is 25MHz ± 1222ppm with above-mentioned data (T1=40 nanosecond, Ts=20 nanosecond and q=T1/Ts=2 as for n=512), and its frequency that is absolutely correct is 25MHz ± 244ppm, wherein ppm be 1,000,000/.Meaning promptly, when detecting device 22 relatively through 4 variations of measured signal (TESTCLK) behind the frequency division along after still during the output services normal signal, the frequency F that just can reason out this clock signal to be measured (CLK) is at least in the scope of 25MHz ± 1222ppm.
And in some cases, it is so high that the deviser does not need for the degree of accuracy of clock signal frequency, therefore can ignore more detection time of point, and it is wideer that meaning allows that promptly measured signal (TESTCLK) behind the frequency division changes the position on edge.With above-mentioned is example, if front and back respectively relax one detection time point, then its incorrect frequency can be amplified to 25MHz ± 1706ppm (formula becomes 1/ (T1 ± (1+q+ (1/2)) * Ts/ (m*n/2))) by 25MHz ± 1222ppm.
And, can there be dual mode to realize this comparison detecting device 22 based on the relativeness of reset signal, reference clock signal and clock signal to be measured.First kind of mode, this comparison detecting device 22 described in grammer with buffer-transistor stratum (RTL), and use the logic synthetics to convert side circuit to, the advantage of the method is that this side circuit is embedded in the to-be-measured integrated circuit, makes to-be-measured integrated circuit the oneself to detect mistake.And be the degree of accuracy that can improve measured frequency error, can increase observing the change number on edge of measured signal (TESTCLK) behind this frequency division, m=4 in this example, also can increase into m=5,6 ..8 etc., but in the degree of accuracy that promotes measured frequency error, also increase complexity of hardware relatively, and cost is also increased thereupon.
As for the second way, it directly replaces this comparison detecting device 22 with tester table, this mode needs to prepare in advance the test vector (test vector) of measured signal (TESTCLK) behind the correct frequency division, and vector value is the last ideal value of measured signal (TESTCLK) behind this frequency division of each of some detection time.Thus, only need measured signal (TESTCLK) behind the actual frequency division of frequency divider 21 outputs is delivered to tester table, and with test vector with the reference clock signal be the action benchmark deliver to tester table, come the similarities and differences between measured signal and ideal value behind the actual frequency division of comparison frequency divider 21 output by tester table, and then reach the purpose of frequency verifying.
Therefore, the present invention can verify effectively more whether the frequency accuracy of signal source of clock conforms with demand, and then improve the disappearance of conventional means, and then reach development fundamental purpose of the present invention except measuring signal source of clock whether the regular event.
