    Abstract: A test method for a delay circuit and a test circuitry are provided. The test circuitry incudes the delay circuit that essentially includes multiple serially connected logic gates, a clock pulse generator at an input end of the delay circuit for generating one or more cycles of clock signals, and a counter at an output end of the delay circuit for counting the clock signals passing through the delay circuit. The test circuitry implements a test mode by switching lines to the clock pulse generator and the counter. The test circuitry relies on a comparison result of a counting result made by the counter and a number of the cycles of the clock signals to test any failure of the delay circuit.

    Abstract: A method for calibrating a data reception window includes: (A) setting a level of a reference voltage by different predetermined values and repeatedly sampling a data signal to obtain multiple first valid data reception windows; (B) establishing a first eye diagram based on the first valid data reception windows; (C) resetting the level of the reference voltage by the predetermined values combined with a first offset and repeatedly sampling the data signal according to the reference voltage to obtain multiple second valid data reception windows and (D) selectively updating the first eye diagram according to the second valid data reception windows. When width of a second valid data reception window is greater than width of a first valid data reception window corresponding to the same predetermined value, the first valid data reception window in the first eye diagram is replaced by the second valid data reception window.

    Abstract: A detection circuit and a detection method are provided. The detection circuit is suitable for a system-on-chip (SoC). The SoC is coupled to an alarm pin of a DDR4 memory through a connection pad, and the detection circuit includes a control circuit coupled to the connection pad. In response to the DDR4 memory performing a refresh process or a specific event occurring, the control circuit outputs a test signal with a first voltage level to the connection pad, and determines whether a voltage level of the connection pad is tied to a second voltage level. In response to determining that the voltage level of the connection pad is tied to the second voltage level, the control circuit outputs an interrupt signal to a CPU of the SoC, and the interrupt signal indicates that the alarm pin of the DDR4 memory is not controlled normally by the DDR4 memory.
