A microcomputer-based digital IC tester

الملخص EN

A simple digital IC tester is designed and implemented at a low change of cost.

An interface circuit is designed to provide a parallel communication between the IC under test (ICUT) and an IBM-PC computer.

A complete friendly-used software package (executable at DOS level) is developed in 8088 machine language.

The black box simulation (BBS) test procedure is introduced to test the combinational circuits.

Other test procedures are presented to test sequential and memory circuits.
