This paper explains the concept of interface circuit design and describes in detail the development method of the interface circuit of the digital circuit fault diagnosis system based on VXI bus and the realization process of circuit switching, identity recognition and self-detection functions based on a scientific research project recently completed by the author. In the digital circuit fault diagnosis system, LASAR is used to simulate the circuit to generate a fault dictionary, and then the fault isolation software is used to analyze and diagnose the circuit. One of the important links is the design of the interface circuit (ID). The interface circuit is the key to connecting the above two parts. A complete interface circuit design can ensure the reliable operation of the fault diagnosis system. The interface circuit design needs to solve the following three problems: (1) load matching and interface matching. The interface circuit of a general circuit may be very simple, and only the input and output of the circuit board need to be connected to the digital IO module respectively. However, the interface circuit design of a complex digital circuit is more difficult, and the success or failure of its design determines the success of the entire fault diagnosis system. For example, when there is an OC gate in the digital circuit, the output or input of the circuit board under test cannot be judged without an external load. At this time, the interface circuit design must consider adding a load to the circuit board under test. In addition, RS232 has been widely used as a standard in microcomputer communication interfaces. In order to be able to connect with the computer interface or terminal TTL device, it is necessary to convert the level and logic relationship between EIA-RS-232C and TTL circuit. At present, the most common way to achieve this conversion is to use integrated circuit conversion devices. For example, MC1488, SN75150 and MC1489, SN75154 chips can realize the conversion from TTL to EIA level and from EIA to TTL level. (2) Identity recognition. In a fault diagnosis system, it is impossible to only focus on one circuit board under test, but to realize the fault diagnosis of thousands of circuit boards. For each circuit board under test, there is a corresponding interface circuit. The corresponding relationship between the two cannot be misaligned. If misaligned, it may cause the damage of the circuit board under test or the diagnosis system. Therefore, the interface circuit needs to have an identity recognition function, that is, when running the fault diagnosis software, the first thing to do is to identify the interface circuit and the circuit board under test. (3) Self-diagnosis. In a fault diagnosis system, the interface circuit connects the circuit simulation (LASAR) and the fault diagnosis (FITS). Therefore, the interface circuit must not have errors. If an error occurs, it will not only lead to diagnosis failure, but also cause the whole system to fail in serious cases. Therefore, the interface circuit must have a self-diagnosis and self-fault isolation system.
