CL-PS7110
Low-Power System-on-a-Chip
4.6.4
Pin Test Mode
This mode is selected by NTEST0 = 0, NTEST1 = 0, Latched NURESET = 1.
This test mode allows a simple ICT tester to check if all pins on the CL-PS7110 are correctly soldered to
the PCB. This mode does this by back-driving each pin in turn, and checking the response on one desig-
nated pin (the COL7 pin).
A parity bit is generated and output on the COL7 pin; this parity bit is the XOR of the input from every
CL-PS7110 signal pin except for the two test inputs. The input pad of each signal is fed into this XOR gate
regardless of signal type. Externally driving (back-driving) any signal pin from its reset state causes a tran-
sition of the COL7 pin.
Table 4-6
defines the rest state for all CL-PS7110 output pins. As Pin Test mode
is entered, the states of all CL-PS7110 inputs are latched, and forced back out on the pins. Thus ALL pins
(except the two test pins) are configured as outputs in this mode. This ensures only a ‘good’ solder joint
passes the pin test. When not in Pin Test mode, the XOR chain is disabled and cannot toggle to save
power.
It is essential in Pin Test mode that the NURESET pin is kept in the default (HIGH) state except when it
is being tested itself. This ensures that NPOR can be safely included in the pin test chain without affecting
the test mode.

These inputs are INVERTED before being passed to the PLL to ensure that the default state of the port
(all ‘0’) maps onto the correct default state of the PLL (TSEL = 1, XTALON = 1, PLLON = 1, D0 = 0, D1
= 1, PLLBP = 0). This state produces the correct frequencies as shown in
Table 4-6
. Any other combina-
tions are for testing the oscillator and PLL and should not be used in the circuit.
