Abstract

The present invention provides a kind of timing generator with self-calibration, in which the treatment of generating timing is performed based on the external reference clock. The characteristics of this invention include a master timing module, a slave timing module and a calibration module. The master timing module outputs a coarse timing based on the reference clock. The slave timing module includes a delay control unit and the voltage controlled delay unit, and is electrically connected with the master timing module in order to make a fine timing from the coarse timing generated by the master timing module. The calibration module is electrically connected with the output of master timing module and the output of slave timing module, and compares the coarse timing output from the master timing generator with the fine timing output from the slave timing module. Then, a digital phase compensation signal is output to the delay control unit of this slave timing module such that the adjustment of timing for the slave timing module is controlled and the required phase difference is reached.

Description of the invention (~~ __ 丨 10 15 Duo printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy 20 This invention relates to a timing generating device with self-calibration, especially a device that can be based on an external reference clock Timing generator with self-calibration to generate timing processing. According to the 'Timing generator' is usually used in integrated circuit (1C) testing machine, the main function is to provide an accurate timing pulse wave ( Timing Pulses), so that the modules of other testing machines can operate at accurate timing. Because the Ic testing machine needs to inspect various different integrated circuit products, the timing generator needs high accuracy timing to meet the requirements of all products. Recently, more and more tester systems use CMOS as the main component of the timing generator. However, when CM0s changes in temperature, the timing has a large tendency to change. Therefore, compensation and calibration are needed. Circuit, the present invention provides a calibration method, which can achieve time accuracy during operation Please refer to the first figure for a schematic block diagram of a general timing generation module. There are mainly two timing generation modules, including a master timing module 10 (master timing module) and a timing module u (suve module), the main timing module 10 is based on an external reference clock (Reference Ciock) to generate a coarse timing (CD rainbow ^ timin), the secondary timing module and the main timing module 1 () The electrical connection is used to generate -fine timing. The coarse timing generated by the main timing module 1 () is generated for example: 2.0, 3.G. Group U line material is finely adjusted and then sent out after the coarse adjustment timing, resulting in timing adjustments of smaller cycles, such as 0.05, M0, 〇5, 5 tearing, and so on. To generate a cycle of 6, 2 narG, .. second, please first Read the remarks and fill in this page for binding. Use the National Property Standard of the National Government of the People's Republic of China to print A7 B7 printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. The timing signal of the description of the invention (2), of which 6.0nar〇_sec〇nd Generated by the primary timing module, and 0.12 naro-second is generated by the n sequential timing modules Please refer to the second figure. It is a conventional first timing generating device. The main timing module 10 is a phase locked ring oscillator 100. This time, The timing module u is composed of a programmable delay unit 110 (programmable delay unit), in which the main timing module is a closed loop system (close loop system), because it is feedback control, it can obtain very high However, the timing module u is 10, an open-loop system. 'To maintain the accuracy of its timing,' the calibration action is particularly important '. However, calibration is a time-consuming and requires considerable labor and technical work. It can be done by ordinary people, so it needs a lot of money to cultivate talents. The third diagram is a block diagram of the second type of timing generating device that is known. The difference from the first type of timing generating device that is known in FIG. 15 is that due to the development of integrated circuit technology, the secondary timing module 11 can be a locked phase. Delay line u〇 (Phase locked delay line) 'The coarse timing adjusted by the main timing module i 〇 is further processed to become a fine timing. The phase selection multiplexer U1 (phase selection multiplexer) selects the precise timing (refine timing), while 20 and 'Although accurate timing can be obtained from the timing module 11, the phase selection multiplexer 111 is located outside the locked phase cycle oscillator 100, so the timing accuracy is greatly affected by the solid state device ( high temperature coefficient of s〇Hd state devices), it is difficult to maintain a certain accuracy under the influence of different temperatures, so a temperature compensation machine is required. The paper size is suitable for China National Standard (CNS) A4. (2 丨 0 > < 297 public shame) (please read the note on the back before filling in this page)
