An Integrated Circuit tester (IC tester) is used to test Integrated Circuits (ICs). We can easily test any digital IC using this kind of an IC tester. For testing an IC, we need to use different hardware circuits for different ICs; like we need a particular kind of tester for testing a logic gate and another for testing flip flops or shift registers which involves more complication and time involved will also be more. So here’s an IC tester to overcome this problem. Unlike other IC testers, this is more reliable and easier since we don’t need to rig up different kind of circuits for different kind of ICs, each time we need to test them.
Unlike the IC testers available in the market today which are usually expensive, this IC tester is affordable and user-friendly. This IC tester is constructed using 8951 microcontroller along with a keyboard and a display unit. It can test digital ICs having a maximum of 24 pins. Since it is programmable, any number of ICs can be tested within the constraint of the memory available. This IC tester can be used to test a wide variety of ICs which includes simple logic gates and also sequential and combinational ICs like flip-flops, counters, shift registers etc. It is portable and easy to use.
The block diagram of the programmable digital IC tester is as shown in below. It consists of two 8951 microcontroller ICs, a 24-pin IC socket, a keyboard unit, a display unit and indicators.
To test a particular digital IC, one needs to insert the IC into the IC socket and enter the IC number using the keyboard and then press the “ENTER” key. The IC number gets displayed in the 7-segment display unit.
Four LEDs are provided as indicators. If the IC being tested is a logic gate, then each of the 4 indicator LEDs correspond to the 4 gates of the IC. In any other case wherein the inserted IC is not a logic gate, all the 4 LEDs work as a single indicator.

sir i am in 7th sem can you send me the whole circuit diagram with both source code and hex code of this…….thanks
send me the components required and also circuitdiagram and code forthis
I have long been trying to explain the exact thing to my pals but I think it’s better if I just email them the link to this article instead! Thanks for writing such an informative post.Nice one.
will u plz send me the more info related to this project
please could u send me the circuit of digital IC tester
hi…
can you send me the whole details regarding with this project like ckt diagram,source code and the software file for this.
i want to do this project…as my final year project..
don’t forget to send me plz plz..
hi
i saw your project & i m interseted to do this
so pls send me detail regarding this project.

hello ….. i am impressed by ur project and have decided to make it myself
but as i am a novice i have decided only to make this project 4 7400 series
IC (I have selected 6 basics IC’s for this purpose). I am having problems
interfacing the keypad with the microcontroller i would be very thankful
to u if u can please email ur code for interfacing keypad.
anticipating ur reply eagerly
Your’s Sincerely

Dear Sir :
we want to buy tester ICS for my office in medical company in arabic
in country . can help me.
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that’s the problem. It’s not the photographer’s fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that’s extra scary to me. There’s a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he’s fuzzy, get out of here.
