Abstract:
A method for translating test vectors from a format suitable for use with an integrated circuit tester into a format suitable for use with an in-circuit tester, comprising:providing a first test file in a first format that is suitable for use with the integrated circuit tester for standalone testing of an integrated circuit; translating the first test file into a second test file in a second format that is suitable for use with the in-circuit tester for in-circuit testing of the integrated circuit, comprising the steps of: identifying in the first file, test vector data in the first format; identifying in the first file, pin information in the first format, writing to the second file, test vector data in the second format, the test vector data in the second format corresponding to the test vector data in the first format; writing to the second file, a plurality of pin data in the second format, the plurality of pin data based on the pin information.
