Digital IC Tester Overview and Specs

This document describes a digital IC tester circuit that can test various logic gates, shift registers, adders, and multiplexers. The circuit uses a microcontroller board with a ZIF socket to test ICs. It compares the actual IC output data to expected data from a truth table and displays pass/fail results on a 16x2 LCD screen. The circuit has features like a 10-key numeric pad and indicator LEDs. It can test TTL and CMOS digital ICs up to 16 pins without any hardware changes by updating the software.

Digital IC Tester

And the main advantage of this circuit is that whenever a new IC is to be tested it does

not include any addition of hardware but a slight updating in the software code is sufficient

enough.

The IC TESTER CIRCUIT is one among the many applications of the MICROCONTROLLER
BOARD. The IC which is to be tested is mounted on the ZIF socket. The inputs are fed to the IC

which is primarily processed through the slave controller board. The program is written in

such a way that comparisons are to be made between the expected data from the truth table

and the data that is obtained from the data bus which is nothing but the outputs of the IC that

is in testing process. Finally a display has to be made on the LCD display which is located in the

main controller board specifying which gates of the IC are working and which are not.

LCD

The LCD in the board is 16X2 characters display.

PIN DIAGRAM OF 16X2 LCD:

DB0-DB7: Data pins

RS: Register select. If RS =0, the instruction command code register is selected, allowing the

user to send a command such as clear display, cursor at home etc. If RS=1, the data register

is selected allowing the user to send data to be displayed on the LCD.

R/W: Read or Write. R/W=1 when reading;

R/W=0 when writing.

E: Enable. The Enable pin is used by LCD to latch information presented to its data pins.

When data is supplied to data pins, a high to low pulse must be applied to this pin in order

for the LCD to latch in the data present at the data pins.

LCD COMMAND CODES:

08 h-Displays off, cursor off

01h-Clear Display screen

06-Increment cursor (shift cursor to right)

12

0ch- Display on, cursor off.

80H – Force cursor to beginning of first line

0C0h - Force cursor to beginning of first line

4X3 KEY-PAD:

Row pins are connected to lower 4 pins of port 1. And column pins are connected to lower 3

pins of port 3.

The keyboard section is as shown in the figure below. The keyboard is designed as a matrix
and is interfaced to port 1 of the master IC. Here P1.0, P1.1, P1.2, P1.3 are configured as input
ports, and P3.0, P3.1, P3.2 are configured as output ports. The keyboard consists of 10 digits as
well as an ‘ENTER’ button and ‘RESET’ button.

In case of matrix Keypad both the ends of switches are connected to the port Pin. Over here
we have considered a 4x3 matrix keypad i.e. four rows and three columns. So in all twelve
switches have been interfaced using
just seven lines. The adjoining figure
shows the diagram of a matrix keypad
and how it is interfaced with the
controller.

As you can see no pin is connected to


ground, over here the controller pin
itself provides the ground. We pull
one of the Column Pins low & check
the row pins if any of the Pin is low
then we come to know which switch
is pressed.

Suppose we make column 1 pin low


and while checking the rows we get Row 3 is low then we come to know switch 7 has been
pressed.
