Abstract:
The invention relates to a universal semiconductor automatic high-speed serial signal testing method, comprising: a chip to be tested sending, to an impedance matching unit, a high-speed serial signal; then by means of a phase shift unit, sequentially transforming, according to a set fixed resolution, the phase of the high-speed serial signal, the magnitude of each offset phase being determined by a phase shift control signal outputted by a control unit and the resolution of the phase shift unit; after passing through the phase shift unit, the high-speed serial signal keeps channel impedance matching by means of the impedance matching unit; the signal entering an acquisition unit, and being acquired under the action of an acquisition control signal sent by the control unit; the control unit performing signal exchange with semiconductor automatic testing equipment (ATE); and the acquisition unit transmitting the acquired signal back to the universal semiconductor ATE for algorithm operation, and then the actual high-speed serial data stream is obtained. The present invention enables direct testing of high-speed serial interface signals by means of the universal ATE during mass production, greatly improving testing convenience and efficiency.
