Abstract
A test device is provided for testing stability of a computer when the computer is started up or shut down. The test device includes a monolithic chip and a switch module. The monolithic chip includes an input port and an output port. The input port receives a high level or a low level signal from the computer. A test control module is disposed in the monolithic chip. The switch module includes an input pin coupled to the output port of the monolithic chip and a pair of output pins corresponding to the input pin. The pair of output pins is connected to the computer, for controlling the computer to be started up or shut down. The input port of the monolithic chip is connected to the computer for detecting a state of the computer.
Claims9
A test device for testing stability of at least one computer when the computer is staffed up or shut down, a motherboard of the computer generating a high level signal when the computer is staffed, and generating a low level signal when the computer is shut down, comprising:
- a monolithic chip comprising an input port and an output port, the input port receiving the high level or low level signal from the computer, a test control module disposed in the monolithic chip;
- an in-system programming module connected to the monolithic chip, the in-system programming module is configured to edit the testing control module when the computer is being tested and to input the testing control module into the monolithic chip;
- and
- a switch module comprising an input pin coupled to the output port of the chip and a pair of output pins corresponding to the input pin, the pair of output pins connected to the computer, for controlling the computer to be started up or shut down;
- wherein the input port of the monolithic chip is configured for connecting to the computer for detecting a state of the computer, when the input port of the monolithic chip receives a low level signal, the test control module controls the output pin of the monolithic chip to output a starting signal to the switch module for starting the computer;
- when the input port of the monolithic chip receives a high level signal, the test control module controls the output pin of the monolithic chip to output a shutting down signal to the switch module for shutting down the computer.
