    摘要: A chip and a chip test method are provided. The chip includes a receiver circuit and a test circuit. The receiver circuit includes a signal receiving unit and a signal bump. The signal bump is coupled to the signal receiving unit. The test circuit is coupled to a circuit node between the signal receiving unit and the signal bump. The test circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter, a first resistor, and a unit gain buffer. A first terminal of the first resistor is coupled to the circuit node. An output terminal of the unit gain buffer is coupled to a second terminal of the first resistor. A first input terminal of the unit gain buffer is coupled to an output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter. A second input terminal of the unit gain buffer is coupled to an output terminal of the unit gain buffer.

    摘要: A first circuitry may be configured to generate a first output based on an input and send an indication responsive to detection of an error while the first output is generated. A second circuitry may be configured to generate a second output based on the input. A wrapper circuitry may be configured to compare the first output and the second output to check correctness by default, and responsive to receipt of the indication, select the second output as a system output without checking for correctness by comparing the first output and the second output. In some implementations, the second circuitry may be configured to send a second indication responsive to detection of a second error while the second output is generated. The wrapper circuitry may be configured to, responsive to receipt of the second indication, ignore the check for correctness.

    摘要: An electrical circuit for testing primary internal signals of an ASIC. Only test pin is provided via which a selection can be made of a digital or analog signal to be observed. The electrical circuit includes a Schmitt trigger between the test pin and an output terminal of the electrical circuit. A test mode id activated when a switching threshold of the Schmitt trigger is exceeded. At least one sub-circuit is provided for the observation of a digital signal, having a resistor, an NMOS transistor, and an AND gate, at whose first input the digital signal is present. The resistor is between the test pin and the drain terminal of the NMOS transistor. The source terminal is connected to ground, and the gate terminal is connected to the output of the AND gate. The second input of the AND gate being connected to the output terminal of the electrical circuit.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses an oscillation handling method, an apparatus using the same, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining one of a real-time detection voltage and a real-time power of an oscillation system; reducing a gain of the system according to a preset first attenuation value; determining whether the real-time detection voltage meets a first oscillation determination condition; if yes, increase an oscillation determination number by one; restoring the gain of the system to obtain the second real-time detection voltage; determining whether the second real-time detection voltage meets a second oscillation determination condition; if yes, increase the oscillation determination number by two and reduce the gain of the system according to the preset first attenuation value; and determining the preset first attenuation value as a determined oscillation attenuation value in response to the oscillation determination number being larger than or equal to a preset threshold.
