Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit testing, and more particularly to a test system and method for a hybrid mode integrated circuit.曰 [Prior Art] With the advancement of the integrated circuit process, the integrated circuit is becoming more and more complicated in application design, so the integrated circuit test becomes an important loop in the integrated circuit manufacturing process. The integrated circuit test is mainly used by the automatic test equipment (AUt〇matic Testing Equipemem, ate); the test program simulates the possible use environment and method of the integrated electric material, such as high temperature, low/dish, voltage instability and If the voltage is too high or too low, and the normal use conditions, the measured product body circuit is placed in this simulation environment to test whether its working state is within the specification range, and the quality of the area body circuit. Integral circuit testing can generally be divided into two stages, in which the test before cutting and packaging is integrated circuit wafer testing (Wafer Ding (3)), the purpose of which is to make electrical functions for W, so that 1 (: in progress) Before packaging, people can filter out the defective silicon wafers first, so as to reduce the defect rate of the finished circuit's finished product, and reduce the manufacturing cost. The packaged test is the FinaI Test. Check whether the integrated circuit function, speed 'tolerance, power consumption, thermal divergence and other attributes are normal to ensure the quality of the integrated circuit before shipment. 201209430 Today's integrated circuit is a rather complex circuit design, including Circuits such as number = and analogy. The diagram of the mixed mode integrated circuit no "as shown in Figure 1" includes - analog to digital converter 120, - phase locked loop 13 〇, and _ internal circuit 14 ( The analog to digital converter 12 converts an external input signal into digital data ADO[nl:〇] for output to the internal circuit 14A. A general analog to digital converter 120 will typically The phase-locked loop 13 产生 generates the ^, ". # signal as the sampling frequency. The cik-adc signal is generated by the phase-locked loop 13 〇 the crystal signal input frequency is synthesized. Figure 2 is a conventional use of an automatic A schematic diagram of a test device (ATE) 150 for testing a hybrid 积-type integrated circuit 110. The automatic test device 150 generates a cryStai signal and an input signal, wherein the automatic test device 150 generates the test data according to the internal test data. The automatic test device 150 receives the digital data AD〇[n_i:0] outputted by the mixed mode integrated circuit 丨1〇, and compares it with the test data to determine the function of the analog to digital converter φ120 Whether it is normal. In the test method of Fig. 2, due to the limitation of the performance of the automatic test device 15〇, when measuring analog to the digital converter 120, the crystai signal must be skipped by the phase-locked loop 丨3〇, and the direct output Up to the analog to digital converter 12〇, the test can be performed by the fixed program sent by the automatic test device 150. Therefore, the jitter of the phase locked loop 130 cannot be measured (ji 11 eΓ). The effect of the analog-to-digital converter 12〇, while the 'phase-locked loop 丨30 needs to be measured separately, therefore, the integrated energy measurement cannot be performed on the hybrid mode integrated circuit 11〇. The conventional automatic test device cannot detect The transition of the test signal (transit丨οη), therefore, the conventional 201209430 automatic test device cannot use the positive or negative edge of the output timing of the phase-locked loop to draw the analog-to-digital converter data. Figure 3 is a conventional use. A logic analyzer (L) is used to test a mixed mode integrated circuit 11A. Since the logic analyzer (LA) 160 is more expensive than the automatic test device (ΑΊΈ) and has a more complete function 'in particular, the logic analyzer (LA) 160 can detect the edge trigger point of the signal', so it can be used to measure the analog to digital converter 12 The overall performance of the phase locked loop 130 is matched. However, because the logic analyzer (LA) 16 〇 internal memory is limited and its memory size is not easy to increase, the logic analyzer (LA) 160 is not easy to collect a large amount of data for analysis, and is also limited by the logic analyzer (LA) The price of 160' causes the cost of testing to increase a lot. Therefore, the test system and method of the conventional mixed mode integrated circuit are still necessary for improvement. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a mixed mode integrated circuit (mixed-mode 1C) test system and method, which can perform the energy measurement of a mixed mode integrated circuit under a low-cost automatic test device.

The mixed mode integrated circuit 41A includes an analog to digital converter 411, a phase locked loop 413, a timing pin 415, a first in first out buffer 417, and a control circuit 419. ...the analog to digital converter 411 receives a test signal and converts the test signal into a digital input data AD〇[n_〗. The sinus input timing signal 1 is used to convert the test signal to the phase locked loop 4 i 3 to receive a first external timing signal χ t to generate an -input timing signal clk", wherein the frequency of the input timing signal It may be an integer multiple of the frequency of the first external timing signal, for example, the frequency of the input timing signal dkj may be 3 times or 4 times of the magic frequency of the first external timing signal, or the frequency of the input timing signal may be The non-integer multiple of the first external timing signal rate, for example, the input timing signal: 1 k - 1 may be 2 · 5 times the frequency of the first external timing signal XI. The analog-to-digital converter 411 receives the round-up elk_I' and inputs the data Α〇0[η-1:〇] two external timing signals cik_〇 according to the input timing signal. The timing pin 415 of the first external timing signal XI receives a second external time. The frequency of the external timing signal elk_〇 is an integer multiple of the first 201209430 frequency. Meanwhile, in the present invention, the frequency of the input timing signal sen is less than or equal to the second external timing signal cik. Frequency of. The FIFO buffer 417 is connected to the analog-to-digital converter, the phase-locked loop 413, and the timing pin 415, and the digital input data AD〇[ni 〇] is written according to the input timing signal clk_i. Into the FIFO buffer 417, and according to the second external timing signal Clk-〇, to read the data of the FIFO buffer 417, and the FIFO buffer is based on the data amount of the material , respectively, generate a full (four) standard (Full) signal and an empty flag (Empty) signal. The control circuit 419 is connected to the phase locked loop 413 and the timing pin 41 5 , according to the input timing signal c 1 k i and the second external timing signal c: k — 〇 for generating a 忒 first in first out buffer The write (wriie) and read (read) signals of the device 417. The automatic test device 420 is connected to the mixed mode integrated circuit 410 for generating the test signal, the first external timing signal X[, and/or the outer # timing c c clk_〇, and according to the second external timing signal Clk_o, which in turn latches the data of the FIFO buffer 417. " The automatic test device 420 generates the test signal based on the internal digital test data. Since the second external timing signal is generated by the automatic test device 420, the FIFO buffer 417 is based on ^. The P timing signal clk_〇 and the read signal output the data, so the automatic test device 42 latches the data output by the FIFO buffer 417. In this embodiment, the FIFO buffer 417 outputs data when the positive edge of the second external timing signal dk is ,, the automatic measurement. The flat 420 can shackle the 201209430 FIFO output data during the second external timing signal. When the automatic test measures the empty signal, it indicates that the FIFO has a bedding material. Therefore, the automatic test device 420 discards the data locked in the advanced first-out device 41 7 . Fig. 5 is a timing chart of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the period of the input timing ^22 and the period of the second external timing signal dk_〇 are 8, which means that the frequency of the input timing Hi is slightly smaller than the first external timing minus clk A glimpse of the frequency. As shown in FIG. $, the analog-to-bit converter 411 sequentially generates the number of inputs when the positive edge of the input timing signal ^ is = the input data is called (four). The FIFO buffer 417 is in the signal of the second temple. The positive edge output data 1 is automatically tested. The first external timing signal clk-〇 negative edge picks up the data of the first-in first-out buffer output. When the automatic test split = (E - indicates the FIFO buffer ... ® A, the automatic test device discards the lock (4) picked up by the FIFO buffer (1), wherein the self-test device 420 picks up the lock: The output data of the FIFO buffer 417 compares the output data with the digital test data, thereby measuring the function of the analog to digital converter. FIG. 6 is another timing diagram of the present invention.
