    摘要: A method for in-service RAM testing in computer systems and networks having a virtual memory. The method involves identifying a number n of physical memory units pi, inull1 . . . n, in the RAM and a number nnull1 of virtual memory units vj, jnull1 . . . nnull1, in the virtual memory, performing a one-to-one mapping to map the physical memory units pi to virtual memory units vj such that a physical memory unit px is left unmapped, and then testing data in the unmapped physical memory unit px by destructive or non-destructive tests. After the test data from another physical memory unit py is copied to physical memory unit px and a one-to-one re-mapping of physical memory units pi to virtual memory units vj is performed such that physical memory unit py is left unmapped. The data in physical memory unit py is then tested and the steps of copying, one-to-one re-mapping and testing can be repeated until all physical memory units pi are tested. The testing can be performed with the aid of an MMU and it can involve more than one physical memory page at a time.

    摘要: An S-parameter measurement technique allows measurement of devices under test (DUTs), such as power amplifiers, which require a modulated power tone drive signal for proper biasing, in combination with a probe tone test signal, wherein both the modulated and probe tone signals operate in the same frequency range. The technique uses a stochastic drive signal, such as a CDMA or WCDMA modulated signal in combination with a low power probe tone signal. A receiver in a VNA having a significantly narrower bandwidth than the modulated signal bandwidth enables separation of the modulated and probe tone signals. VNA calibration further improves the measurement accuracy. For modulated signals with a significant power level in the frequency range of the probe tone signal, ensemble averaging of the composite probe tone and power tone signals is used to enable separation of the probe tone signal for measurement.

    摘要: Active crosstalk cancellation in a multi-phase system is achieved using a capacitive voltage divider for each phase in the multi-phase system. A voltage measurement is obtained for the desired phase and each additional phase of the multi-phase system. A product is generated for each additional phase by multiplying each additional phase voltage measurement by a corresponding predetermined constant. The product for each additional phase is subtracted from the voltage measurement of the desired phase.

    摘要: The method described here makes it possible to determine the impedance of a line (1) by measuring the voltage (u) applied across the line and the time derivative of the current (i) flowing through the line. The measured values of the differentiated current are not integrated in this case, but rather are substituted directly, together with the measured voltage values, into an equation system from which the values of the inductance (L) and the resistance (R) of the line (1) can be estimated. In this way, integration of the values of the differentiated current is obviated.

    摘要: A system and method for providing an intelligent wire testing capability for complex hardware systems. The system is comprised of a software application with a relational database interfacing with an automatic test equipment module. The relational database contains all of a system's architecture information plus all of the text and parametric information associated with the design. During a system test, the subject invention uses the wiring/system architecture as disclosed in the relational database together with an automatically generated test program to identify faults in a unit under test. Using the architecture knowledge, the subject invention is capable of automatically generating a wire harness schematic for printout or display on a CRT. The architecture knowledge also allows a technician to quickly distinguish between a broken wire and an unused pin in a connector. After the test, the observed values are stored in a testing results file for later review and trend analysis. Data from the trend analysis provides the technician with the data necessary to assess the state of the wiring in the UUT. At the completion of testing, the testing results file stays with the UUT thereby ensuring access to a complete testing history of the UUT at any time.

    摘要: An automatic tester uses a coarse timing subsystem and a formatter circuit to generate a first formatted waveform with coarse timing based on the information stored in a vector memory subsystem. The first formatted waveform is refined by a timing refiner circuit to form a second formatted waveform with precise timing. The timing refiner circuit includes a flip-flop device to re-synchronize and remove jitter in the first formatted waveform. A counter and/or shift register and vernier circuit in the timing refiner circuit then triggers the leading and trailing edges of the second formatted waveform with precise timing. The formatter circuit may be eliminated by using control signals of the memory devices in the vector memory subsystem to manipulate timing. The coarse timing subsystem may further be eliminated by providing sufficient range for the counters in the timing refiner circuit.

    摘要: A monitored burn-in test system and a monitored burn-in test method of microcomputers, which are capable of implementing the monitored burn-in test without increasing a load of software and improving the function of a tester unit. When microcomputers supply a tester unit with measurement data stored in a data compressing circuit comprised of a linear feedback resister, test data outputted by all of the microcomputers can be read synchronously into the tester unit by shifting out the measurement data synchronously with a monitoring clock signal outputted by the tester unit. Thus, it is made possible to monitor the test results of all microcomputers at the same time in the tester unit. Therefore, it can be avoided that a load of software gets heavier since the monitoring of the test results is certainly executed by the tester unit.
