Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a jitter measurement circuit, and more particularly to a built-in clock Jitter measurement circuit. [Prior Art] When the data pulse is transmitted on the transmission line, if the axe is shaken, the clock recovery circuit (cl〇ck Rec〇ve^ Circuit 'CDR) or phase-locked loop (PLL) may be used. A problem has occurred and even the information may be lost. Jitter can be defined as the time offset of the rising edge (or falling edge) of the signal relative to its ideal time position. Figure 丨 shows the definition of jitter. Jitter will increase the bit error rate (Bit] Errorilate, ber) at the receiving end to reduce the service quality of the entire system (Qua ity 〇 fSeryice). The TIE 'Time Interval Error parameter is one of the jitter parameters, which means the phase difference between the received signal bit (or pulse) and the reference clock at any point in time. • - and S, jitter can be classified as quantitative jitter (Deterministic

Random jitter is a randomly generated temporal noise level jitter. The distribution is usually Gaussian Distribmi〇n, which can also be called Normal Distribution. It can be measured by means of an external automatic test equipment (ATE). However, because the signal is to be output to the self-test device, the number is passed through the wheel/input pin. The jitter measured by this - may not necessarily be the original jitter. In addition, automated test equipment is costly and adds additional testing costs. 5 1333073 P2006-017-TW-A 21681twf.doc/p Therefore, it is better to have a BIST circuit that can accurately measure jitter, which can reduce the test cost, test time and reduce the use of rigid instruments. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a built-in jitter measurement circuit that can be used to reduce the cost of the job and reduce the use of the meter.

In order to make the above and other objects and features of the present invention readily apparent, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [Embodiment] In order to clarify the content of the present invention, the following is an example of implementation of the present invention. View, her example ^33073 P2006-017-TW-A 2168ltwf.doc/p Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a built-in jitter measurement circuit in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The jitter measurement circuit mainly includes: synchronization=phase detector 23 and decision circuit 25{> the jitter measurement circuit is used for detecting the jitter of the clock signal CLKtest of the circuit 21 to be tested, that is, the clock signal CLKtest is relative to the reference. The error of the clock signal aKref. The circuit 21 can be a PLL, CDR, DLL (Delayed Phase Locked Loop), or other similar circuit that can generate another output clock signal based on the reference clock signal. The synchronous dual-phase detector 23 is configured to detect a phase relationship between the clock signal CLKtest to be tested and the reference clock signal cLKref, and output two signals S1/S2 to the decision circuit 25. The decision circuit 25 counts the signal S1/S2 to obtain the count value R1/R2, and sends it to the back end calculation unit/computing software (not shown) to obtain the jitter value and its RMS value. Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the circuit of the synchronous two-phase detector 23 and the decision circuit 25. The synchronous two-phase detector 23 includes delay buffers 301 to 303 and phase detecting units 304 to 305. The decision circuit 25 includes logic circuits 311 to 312, latchers 313 to 314, logic circuits 315 to 316, a multiplexer 317 and a counter 318. Delay buffers 301 and 302 delay this reference clock signal CLKref' and generate delayed reference clock signals pi and D2. The delay buffer 303 delays the clock signal CLKtest to be tested, and generates a delay to output a clock signal D3. The delays caused by the delay buffers 301 to 303 are different, and the amount of delay is adjustable. For example, the delay buffer 301 causes the least amount of delay, the delay buffer 303 causes a slightly larger amount of delay, and the delay buffer 302 causes the largest amount of delay. 8 1333073 P2006-017-TW-A 2168ltwf.doc/p phase debt measurement unit 304 305 is, for example, a D-type flip-flop (dff). The phase predicate unit class ~3〇5 has a data input terminal D, a pulse input terminal c, a reset terminal RST and a data output terminal q. The phase detection units 3〇4~3〇5 are input, and the terminal D receives the delayed reference signals 卯 and (10), respectively. The clock input terminal c of the phase detecting units 3G4 to 305 receives the delay and outputs the clock signal D3. The reset terminal RST of the phase detecting units 304 to 3〇5 receives the reset signal RST. The data output terminal Q of the phase detecting unit Gangde outputs signals S1 and S2, respectively. The signal S1 (the value may be 1 or 〇) represents the phase relationship between the reference clock signal D1 after the delay and the output clock signal D3 after the delay. The signal S2 (which may be 丨 or 〇) represents the phase relationship between the delayed reference signal D2 and the delayed output clock signal D3. Further, in the first embodiment, the reset signal RST resets the phase detecting units 304 and 305 each time a sample is taken (i.e., a signal S1/S2 is generated). The logic circuits 311 and 312 receive the output signals S1 and S2 of the phase detecting units 3〇4 and 305. The latches 313 and 314 latch the output signals of the logic circuits 311 and 312 according to the output of the clock signal D3 after the delay. The logic circuits 315 and 316 receive the output signals of the latches 313 and 314, and output the clock signal D3 and the enable signal 延迟 after the delay, wherein the enable signal 产生 is generated by an external test instrument. The combination of latches 313 and 314 and logic circuits 315 and 316 can generate pulse signals. The output signals of the logic circuits 311 and 312 are 1, and the logic circuits 315 and 316 output the pulse signals; if the output signals of the logic circuits 311 and 312 are 0, the logic circuits 315 and 316 do not output the pulse signals. 1333073 P2006-017-TW^A 21681 twf.doc/p The multiplexer 317 selects one of the outputs of the logic circuit and 316 according to the selection signal SEL. The counter 318 counts the multiplexer gw to generate the count value R1/R2. The counter 318 is, for example, a Ripple Counter. The combination of the latch 313/314 and the counter greatly accelerates the measurement of jitter. ° The BIST circuit of the first embodiment has two modes of operation: test mode and correction mode. In the test mode, the vibration-voltage controlled oscillator vco of the circuit under test will operate normally; and in the calibration mode, (this 1 i source is under free-mn (free-mn). But in the present invention In an example, the required pulse time & CLKtest can be input from the outside to make a correction mode. That is, when in the calibration mode, the required random clock signal may be rotated by the outside; Or, = the random clock signal required can be generated by the free vibrating two oscillator inside the circuit under test. Please refer to Figure 4', which shows the probability distribution of the phase 0 d of the pulse signal CLKtest to be tested in the test mode. Function graph (PDF, pr〇baM丨i^ distribution function). In the test mode, it is assumed that the jitter amount is normally distributed. According to the value of the signal S1/S2, the phase of the clock signal CLKtest to be tested can be divided into three regions. Block: less than must - (when sl = 〇: S2-0), between ¢- and ¢+ (when Sl=j, s2=〇); and greater than ¢+ (when Sl=l, S2=l) ' In Figure 4' P1~P3 represent the area of the three blocks (PHP2+P3=1) 'that is, the phase is located The probability of a block. For example, 'Pl=Rl/(sample number), P2=R2/(sample number). The symbol τ represents the range of phase when Sl=l and S2=0. 1333073 P2006-017- TW-A 21681twf.doc/p Please refer to Figure 5, which shows the probability distribution function of the phase 0d of the pulse signal CLKtest to be tested in the calibration mode. Since the oscillation source of the circuit under test is under free oscillation, it is tested. The clock signal CLKtest is randomly generated. That is to say, there is no correlation between the pulse signal CLKtest to be tested and the reference signal signal CLKref, and the probability distribution function map of the phase 0 d of the pulse signal CLKtest to be tested is uniform. The symbol το represents the period of the reference clock signal CLKref (that is, the post-delay reference clock signal D1). The symbol τ represents the delay _ difference between the delay buffers 3〇1 and 302. CLKrefdl and CLKrefd2 represent the The delays generated by the delay buffers 301 and 302 are referenced to the clock signals D1 and D2. According to the statistical characteristics of the uniform distribution generated when the oscillation source of the circuit under test is in free oscillation, T=P2, *T0 can be obtained. According to τ〇 and p2, can be obtained The delay time difference between the late buffers 301 and 302. Figure 6 shows the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of phase 0d. The horizontal axis is the phase # of the clock signal CLKtest to be measured, and the root mean square (10) s) The value (4) is • unit. According to P1 'P2, the phase error χ- and x+ (in σ) can be found using Fig. 6. The value calculated according to P2.
