DIGITAL IC TESTER

The Objective of this project is to test the working status of an analog IC.
Both manual as well as microcontroller based IC testers are available in the
market. Manual IC testing involves a lot of tiresome procedure and is prone to
errors, apart from being a time-consuming process. On the other hand,
microcontroller based IC testers are to handle and the chances of errors are
negligible.

The basic principle of testing any IC or device is to compare the outputs


obtained from the IC under test on giving a set of input signals based on its truth
table, with the standard results stored in the memory, for a particular set of input
signals. If all sets of results, so obtained for a specific IC, tally with the stored
results, the IC is declared ‘GOOD’ otherwise it is shown as ‘BAD’ and gives
alarm.

In this project some of the analog IC format is programmed in the


microcontroller. When you insert the IC in Ziff socket, the microcontroller sends
IC testing pattern to Ziff socket. If the output is correct for the given input, the IC
working status is good LCD will display the GOOD IC. Any one input pattern is
not matching with the IC, which is inserting in the Ziff socket; the microcontroller
will display the “NOT WORKING” in the LCD and also activate alarm circuit for
audible indication through the driver circuit. We have key pad for select the IC
name, which we are going to test.
