Description

TECHNICAL HELD

The present invention relates to the field of electronics, and in particular, to an integrated circuit detection method, apparatus, and system.

BACKGROUND

A printed circuit board (PCB) integrates various integrated circuits (integrated circuit, IC) to implement a specific function. Generally, a detection technology that integrates board function detection and channel function detection is mainly used to detect, on the printed circuit board, a potential quality hazard of an integrated circuit. Detection software may be embedded in the printed circuit board. The embedded detection software actuates the printed circuit board, and a detection meter or the printed circuit board receives a detection result. Alternatively, a detection meter may actuate the printed circuit board, and the detection meter or the printed circuit board receives a detection result, so as to determine, by detecting a functional failure of the printed circuit board, whether an electrical parameter of the integrated circuit on the printed circuit board or in a specific channel of the printed circuit board is abnormal, and whether the potential quality hazard exists in the integrated circuit. The board is the printed circuit board. Detecting an integrated circuit on a printed circuit board is referred to as on-board integrated circuit detection.

However, in the prior art, only a functional failure of a printed circuit board or a channel-level functional failure of a printed circuit board can be detected, and a quality problem of a specific integrated circuit on the printed circuit board cannot be detected. Consequently, an electrical parameter of the integrated circuit cannot be accurately detected; when a function of the printed circuit board is normal, a potential quality hazard caused by an abnormal electrical parameter of the integrated circuit cannot be identified.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that the n^th detection circuit is a first detection circuit 502 on a printed circuit board 50. A first detection point a of the first detection circuit is connected to a volt current condenser VCC pin A of the printed circuit board, and a second detection point b of the first detection circuit 502 is connected to a volt current condenser VCC pin B of a first integrated circuit 501.

Step 407a: The data analysis submodule determines, according to the first detection result, whether an electrical parameter of the integrated circuit connected to the detection circuit is normal.

The data analysis submodule determines whether the first detection result is within a first preset range. The first preset range is a preset range of the electrical parameter of the integrated circuit connected to the detection circuit. If the first detection result is within the first preset range, step 408a is performed; or if the first detection result is not within the first preset range, step 409a is performed.

Step 407b: The data analysis submodule determines, according to the second detection result, whether an electrical parameter of the function pin of the integrated circuit is normal.

The data analysis submodule determines whether the second detection result is within a second preset range. The second preset range is a preset range of the electrical parameter of the function pin of the integrated circuit. If the second detection result is within the second preset range, step 408b is performed; or if the second detection result is not within the second preset range, step 409b is performed.

Step 408a: The data analysis submodule determines that the electrical parameter of the integrated circuit connected to the detection circuit is normal.

Step 409a: The data analysis submodule determines that the electrical parameter of the integrated circuit connected to the detection circuit is abnormal.

Step 408b: The data analysis submodule determines that the electrical parameter of the function pin of the integrated circuit is normal.

Step 409b: The data analysis submodule determines that the electrical parameter of the function pin of the integrated circuit is abnormal.

Step 4010: The warning submodule sends a warning prompt to user equipment.

The warning submodule sends, to the user equipment, the warning prompt of a detection result obtained by the data analysis submodule. The warning prompt may be automatically sent to a mailbox, a mobile phone, or another terminal by using a network. In addition, a link to a to-be-analyzed problem ticket that is automatically created is pushed to the terminal together with the warning prompt. If the to-be-analyzed problem ticket is not handled, the warning submodule automatically sends the warning prompt periodically according to a preset time.

Step 4011: The detection control module determines whether the n^th integrated circuit is an N^th integrated circuit.

If the n^th integrated circuit is the N^th integrated circuit, step 4012 is performed; or if n^th integrated circuit is not the N^th integrated circuit, step 4013 is performed.

Step 4012: The detection control module sets the detection meter to a non-detection state.

Step 4013: The detection control module controls the detection meter to connect to a first detection point and a second detection point that are of an (n+1)^th detection circuit.

According to the integrated circuit detection method provided in this embodiment of the present invention, a detection apparatus detects, by using a detection circuit, an electrical parameter of an integrated circuit connected to the detection circuit, and a detection circuit connected to the integrated circuit on a printed circuit board is disposed on the printed circuit board, so as to determine, according to a first detection result, whether the electrical parameter of the integrated circuit connected to the detection circuit is normal; or the detection apparatus directly controls a detection meter to connect to a function pin and a volt current condenser pin that are of the integrated circuit, or to connect to a function pin and a ground pin that are of the integrated circuit for detecting an electrical parameter of the function pin of the integrated circuit, so as to determine, according to a second detection result, whether the electrical parameter of the function pin of the integrated circuit is normal. This overcomes a problem, in the prior art, that the electrical parameter of the integrated circuit on the printed circuit board cannot be detected when the printed circuit board is in a power-on state, so that the electrical parameter of the integrated circuit on the printed circuit board in the power-on state can be effectively detected.

It should be noted that integrated circuits on multiple printed circuit boards that are of a same model and of a same batch may be detected by using the integrated circuit detection method according to the present invention, so as to collect statistics on detection results of the same integrated circuits that are on the multiple printed circuit boards and that are obtained by detection, and to analyze whether any one of the integrated circuits on the printed circuit boards that are of the same model and of the same batch are abnormal. For example, one model-J integrated circuit is used on a printed circuit board A. in a process of processing 1000 printed circuit boards A of a same batch, because the model-J integrated circuit is located at the same position on each printed circuit board A, and peripheral circuits of the model-J integrated circuits are also the same, model-J integrated circuits with an abnormal electrical parameter may be identified by using methods such as a mean value method and a scatter chart and according to detection results of the 1000 model-J integrated circuits. Therefore, whether a potential quality problem occurs on model-J integrated circuits of a same batch or on an individual model-J integrated circuit can be identified according to a conclusion that is obtained by analyzing abnormal model-J integrated circuits. Likewise, if multiple model-J integrated circuits are used on the printed circuit board, abnormal model-J integrated circuits in different positions may be identified by using the method.

In particular, printed circuit boards of different batches and integrated circuits of different types can be analyzed together, so as to effectively identify a potential quality hazard caused by an abnormal electrical parameter of an integrated circuit. For example, one model-J integrated circuit is used on a printed circuit board A, two model-J integrated circuits are used in different positions of a printed circuit board B, and 1000 printed circuit boards A and 1000 printed circuit boards B are processed. Whether model-J integrated circuits in three positions are abnormal are separately determined first, and then three detection results are compared according to a preliminary conclusion, so as to analyze whether a model-J integrated circuit is abnormal. A conclusion obtained by using this method is more accurate than a conclusion that is obtained by means of identification based on a single position. Certainly, physical analysis may be further performed on an individual integrated circuit with an abnormal detection result, so as to determine whether a potential quality hazard exists in integrated circuits of a same batch.
