【iTestGroup】PTC-04之MLX91206 series Offline Auto-Programming Machine

一、验证烧录 (Verification of Programming)

1. 验证的主要依据: 客户手动烧录手册 Programmierung_Melexis.docx),我们根据烧录器PTC-04以及MLX91206芯片的理解与分析,分析的主要依据有烧录器以及芯片的官方说明书,数据手册等文档。
 Basis of Verification: Programming Manual from customer(Programmierung_Melexis.docx), according to understanding and analysis of the PTC-04 programmer and MLX91206 chip datasheet, mainly based on the analysis of the programmer and the chip's official manual, application and other documents.
2. 验证的主要方法:对比手动烧录以及自动烧录所产生的数据,回读的数据,下面将截图以详细说明。
 Method of Verification: Compare the data produced by manual programming with the data from auto-programming, and the following screenshot will be described in detail.

手动烧录过程:Manual Programming Process

3.1  Read EEPROM to Image: 顾名思义就是把芯片内容读取到Image,从另一个角度讲就是芯片出厂是有一个预置数据的。
Read the content of EEPROM from the chip to Image, mean read the default setting and content of the chip.
3.2  Copy Image to Temp:把Image的数据复制到Temp,其实这一步是为下一步做准备的。
Copy the image data to a temp area.
3.3  根据客户手册(Programmierung_Melexis.docx),到这里我们需要修改两个参数 (RoughGain以及FineGain),从下面的截图可以看出,芯片默认的值分别为4 & 651,不满足客户要求,需要修改为3 & 789,而且这里实际操作会发现,只有Temp那一列是可以编辑修改的,而Image是不能编辑修改的,这就是为什么需要3.2步的复制操作。
According to the programming manual from customer, here need modify 2 parameters, (RoughGain and FineGain), per the below screenshot, the default value is 4&651, not same as the customer requirements. Need change to 3&789. And here only Temp area are enable to modify, but the Image is disable.
3.4  Program EEPROM with Temp:就是将我们刚刚修改好的参数,包括芯片默认的其他参数全部烧录进芯片的EEPROM区域。
Programming the modified parameters into the EPROM of chip.
3.5  Read EEPROM + Verify:也就是将刚刚烧录的内容跟Temp进行比较。至此,完成了所有的烧录操作。
Read the values which was written by step 3.4 from the EEPROM and also compare with Temp.


自动烧录过程:Auto-Programming Process

整个过程跟手动模式是一样的,唯一的差别就在于将这些需要手动点击鼠标以及输入数据的地方,通过调用API函数,由软件自动完成。
The whole process is same as the manual programming, the only difference is to use the software to call the API function, and instead of the click and type actions manually. 
验证的原理:就是将自动烧录完成后的芯片,在手动烧录界面只做最后一步或者只做第一步,也就是读取芯片EEPROM的内容到Image,通过手动烧录软件界面就可以看到数据了。
Principle of Verification: Use the manual programming method to check the actual data from EPROM chip which was already programming by Auto-programming.

结论:Conclusion
通过比较,我们发现自动烧录与手动烧录都能实现两个要求修改的参数RoughGainFineGain的一致性。
显然,仔细比较的话,也能发现除了RoughGainFineGain高度一致外,其他参数并不完全一致。为了比较差异,我们又做了如下比较,我们用手动方式烧录不同的芯片,然后回读比较,发现即使手动烧录,芯片个体之间的数据也并不完全一致。然后自动烧录的不同芯片个体之间也同样不完全一致。
另外,从内容本身来看,比如LotNumber,如果是不同批次的芯片,读取不一致,也是合理的,所以理论上应该是允许不一致的。另外,还有的就是ID值,类似于SN,本来就应该是有独立性的。
After verification, the key parameters are the same as the manual programming method, such as RoughGain and FineGain. Of course, the best way is through functional verification.
