 ABSTRACT

The digital IC tester is implemented by using the 89C51 microcontroller board.The

processing of the inputs and outputs is done by the microcontroller. The display
part onthe microcontroller board is modeled using LCD. After the successful
testing of the IC, theresult is displayed on the LCD.The basic function of the
digital IC tester is to test a digital IC for correct logicalfunctioning as described in
the truth table and/or function table. It can test digital ICs having amaximum of 24
pins. Since it is programmable, any number of ICs can be tested within
theconstraint of the memory available. This model applies the necessary signals to
the inputs of the IC, monitoring the outputs at each stage and comparing them with
the outputs in the truthtable. Any discrepancy in the functioning of the IC results in
a fail indication, displays the faultyand good gates on the LCD. The testing
procedure is accomplished with the help of keyspresent on the main board.At this
stage we had completed to test the most common used digital IC's used in
ourlaboratories, mainly belonging to the 74TTL series and successfully completed
writingassembly code for 10 IC’s.

“BUILD A DIGITAL IC TESTER”

1.0 Brief Introduction:

In any manufacturing industry there are continuous efforts in cost reductions,

upgradequality and improve overall efficiencies. In electronic industry, with
dramatic increase in circuitcomplexity and the need for the higher levels of
reliability, a major contributor cost in anyproduct can be in the testing. However
we should recognize in the real world that no productis perfect, so that testing and
in particular automatic testing will be an essential part of production in the
foreseeable future.In industries, research centers and college, some common IC's
are frequently used;many times people face problems due to some fault in these
integrated circuits. So it is veryessential to test them before actually using them in
any of the applications. Microcontrollerbased digital IC tester is best solution for
these problems.This project has the capability of testing any available digital IC of
the TTL or CMOSfamily of 24 pins. The main advantage over the industry
standard for the project is its low costand eases of updating to any new IC design
which may be inducted in the market by anycompany only through software
updating.The IC-tester tests the basic logic gates used in the digital laboratory of
colleges. Ituses 89c51 as the controlling and processing unit. The keyboard and the
display circuits areinterfaced with the master microcontroller. The input is given to
the corresponding pins of theIC to be tested using program stored in micro-
controller acting as slave. The output is takenfrom the relevant pin. It is compared
with the look-up table of that IC being stored in thememory. Depending on the
result of comparison, the output is displayed in the LCD display

Microcontrollers have become ubiquitous in electronic applications.However the
system supported by these devices has become exceedingly complex in terms
of functionality and the quantity of peripheral components. In recent years the
boundaries of suchsystems have stretched to include additional peripheral
components marking the advent of system-on-chip(S o C). The motivation to
develop such devices has been to increasefunctionality and performance while
reducing system cost, integrity complexity and powerdissipation.

Brief Description:

BACKGROUND OF DIGITAL IC TESTER :-

The digital IC tester is implemented in order to test the digitalIC’s toverify the
faultygates and the good gates. The necessary inputs to the gates of the IC to be
tested which isplaced in the ZIF socket is received from the slave micro-controller
IC and correspondingoutputs are accumulated and sent to the same controller IC
where the output is comparedwith the functional or the logic table and if any
discrepancy results, it displays the fail in theLCD display screen. Analog IC tester
is also available in the market which was replaced by thisdigital IC tester which is
more sophisticated by performing the tasks in a much easier fashionand the
execution time also very fast in itThe primary purpose of this digital IC tester is
that it can easily check the IC within duecourse of time and if any discrepancy
results then it determines the gates which were goodones and which were the bad
ones. The manual operation or a human intervention includestesting of each
individual IC by making necessary connections and verifying the outputs foreach
gate by the truth table is a time taking and tedious process.With the
implementation of the micro controller units it makes the job much easier toreceive
data for the respective gates and process output and display results. The operation
of a MCU based controller is determined primarily by its program.Microcontrollers
are versatile. MCUs are very useful, since its approach isprogrammable, many
additional features are possible at little or no added cost.
