Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the testing of ICs free from any effect of the processing and transmission times in a computer by arranging a memory between the computer and a register to trigger the memory with a pattern generator when the voltage of ICs to be tested is changed. CONSTITUTION:A computer 1 triggers a pattern generator 2. The pattern generator 2 execures a microprogram and in response to an instruction for changing the voltage, triggers a memory 6, which reads out and transfers data at a high speed to a register 3. In other words, upon the triggering of the register 3 at a timing T2, the voltage V1 of an IC 5 changes to the voltage V2. The time Tn required for changing the voltage is determined by the time from the reception of the instruction by the pattern generator 2 to the end of reading by the memory 6. In actuality, a voltage V2 is added to the IC at the timing T13. As the time Tn is normally several 100ns, the voltage can be changed on real time.
