In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a signal connection system provided by the present invention, where the signal connection system includes a JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) connector, a power supply 2, a first protection circuit 3 formed by connecting a first fuse device 31 and a first control switch 32 in series, and a processor 4;
the output end of the power supply 2 is respectively connected with one end of a first protection circuit 3 and a first monitoring end of the processor 4, the other end of the first protection circuit 3 is connected with a first end of a power supply terminal of the JTAG connector 1, a second end of the power supply terminal of the JTAG connector 1 is used for being connected with the power supply 2 end of the burner, a first end of a signal terminal of the JTAG connector 1 is connected with a chip to be burned, and a second end of the signal terminal of the JTAG connector 1 is used for being connected with a signal output end of the burner;
the JTAG connector 1 is used for realizing JTAG signal connection between the chip to be burned and the burner through the JTAG connector;
the processor 4 is connected with the first control switch 32 and is used for controlling the first control switch 32 to be switched off when the voltage of the power supply 2 is monitored to be abnormal through the first monitoring end;
a first fuse device 31 for forming an open circuit by itself when a current value of a current flowing through itself is greater than a preset threshold value;
wherein the default state of the first control switch 32 is a closed state.
Specifically, considering the technical problems in the background art as described above, in combination with considering that there is a possibility of a wiring error when the burner is connected to the JTAG connector 1 through a cable, and once the ground terminal of the burner is connected to the power supply terminal of the JTAG connector 1, the burner and the power supply 2 may be damaged, in this application, the first fuse device 31 is disposed in the loop so as to automatically realize a circuit break when the ground terminal of the burner is connected to the power supply terminal of the JTAG connector 1, on this basis, the application further controls the first control switch 32 to be disconnected when the voltage of the power supply 2 is monitored by the processor 4 so as to realize a circuit break control, thereby preventing the first fuse device 31 from being abnormally disconnected, and because the application has a double circuit break protection mechanism, the reliability of the circuit break protection is greatly improved, thereby preventing the burner and even the power supply 2 from being damaged by the wiring error to the greatest extent, the maintenance cost is reduced and the working efficiency is improved.
Specifically, the JTAG connector 1 is used because the writer needs to communicate with the chip to be burned through the JTAG interface under normal conditions, and the JTAG connector 1 can provide the JTAG interface for both the writer and the chip to be burned and realize data communication between the two.
Of course, besides the JTAG connector 1, connectors with other interface forms may be provided based on the burner with different interface requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited herein.
Specifically, the first fuse device 31 may form an open circuit on itself when the current value of the current flowing through itself is greater than the preset threshold, and may automatically open the circuit due to the large current generated when the ground terminal of the writer is connected to the power supply terminal of the JTAG connector 1, thereby protecting the related devices.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first control switch 32 is additionally disposed in the loop where the pin of the power supply 2 is located, and the processor 4 may monitor whether the voltage of the power supply 2 is normal through the first detection end to determine whether to disconnect the first control switch 32, where the voltage value should be a standard value (e.g., 3.3V) under normal conditions, and if the processor 4 finds that the deviation is large, for example, when the power supply 2 is grounded due to a wiring error and an instantaneous high voltage is generated (which may damage related devices), the first control switch 32 may be controlled to be disconnected, so as to implement open-circuit protection.
The series connection sequence of the first fuse device 31 and the first control switch 32 in the loop can be arbitrarily selected, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited herein.
