Patent ID: 8630834

Claim:
A simulating apparatus used to simulate an integrated circuit (IC), comprising: a main body, comprising: a base board defining a plurality of receiving holes; a simulating portion, comprising a mounting board mounted on the base board and a simulating signal generating module positioned on the mounting board, the simulating signal generating module generating simulating signals indicative of signals of the IC; and a converting portion comprising a mounting block mounted on the base board; and a converting module positioned on the mounting block and electrically connected to the simulating signal generating module, the converting module converting the simulating signals from digital to analog form; and a connecting board assembled to the base board, and configured for sending the converted simulating signals to a printed circuit board (PCB), the connecting board comprising a plurality of contact members protruding from one surface of the connecting board and a plurality of conductive pads attached to opposite surface of the connecting board corresponding to the contact members, the contact members received in the receiving holes; wherein arrangement of the conductive pads corresponds to pins of the IC being simulated so that when the connecting board is attached to the PCB, the conductive pads send the converted simulating signals to the PCB.
