An error detector and a method for detecting an error of an oscillator are provided. The error detector includes a receiver that receives an oscillation signal of an oscillator and a reference signal; and a controller that changes the oscillation signal within a frequency range so as to correspond to the reference signal and decides whether an error is generated in the oscillator based on the changed oscillation signal.

An oscillator module (20) in which external wires can be reduced, and characteristics of a resonator and oscillation margin can be measured. A circuit portion (21) for oscillation and a two-port surface acoustic wave resonator (26) are sealed in a package (27), one of the terminals of the two-port surface acoustic wave resonator is connected inside the package (27) to an input terminal (28, 29) of the circuit portion (21) for oscillation. The number of external terminals (28, 29, 30, 31) provided at the package (27) is reduced, enabling the oscillator module (20) to be made small-scale and at lower cost. Furthermore, it is possible to measure the insertion loss and resonant frequency of the two-port surface acoustic wave resonator (26), and the oscillation margin of the oscillator module (20), making it possible to improve the yield of the oscillator and reduce costs.

A high frequency component is disclosed in which the characteristics of a high frequency circuit that cannot be measured only by an outwardly led-out terminal electrode can be easily measured at the final-product stage. In the high frequency component, on a substrate (1) there is formed an electrode pattern including a signal measuring electrode pad (3). Additionally, chip components are mounted on the substrate (1). A metal cover (2) has a hole (4) formed near the signal measuring electrode pad (3). Through the hole (4), a probe of a measuring apparatus is inserted from the outside to abut with the electrode pad (3). With the arrangement, a voltage signal obtained at a predetermined point of the high frequency circuit can be measured.
摘要:
The oscillation-based test method and device is applied to at least partially analog circuits. The at least partially analog circuit is first divided into building blocks each having a given structure. Each building block is then inserted into an oscillator circuit to produce an output signal having an oscillation frequency related to the structure of the building block under test. The oscillation frequency is then measured and a fault in the building block under test is detected when the measured oscillation frequency deviates from a given, nominal frequency. Experiments have demonstrated that the frequency deviation enables the detection of catastrophic and/or parametric faults, and ensures a high fault coverage. In this new time-domain test method, a single output frequency is evaluated for each building block whereby the test duration is very short. These characteristics make the test strategy very attractive for wafer-probe testing as well as final production testing.
