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.

Hi, can you send me the code and circuit diagram for this project?
thx
please show ths prj program
dear sir/madam
I am so interested to this ic tester, so please let me know the completed wiring, use direction when testing and also how to know testing result.
Best regards

pls send me circuit diagram of digital ic tester. & there respective codes
SIR , I am final year b.tech student .. i wnt to do this project.. please please send me the components list ,circuit diagram, and project details .. to my email id
tridipsarma1@gmail.com
dear sir,i m an service engg.the project very usefull for field service.pl send details where i recive the project kit at indian price.i m alok from india.west-bengal,kharagpur.ph no-+91-9046197220.waiting your valuable answer.thanks.
sir my group trying to done the project of ic tester . will u plz tell us in which software u should done the programming ……………..plz sir we badl need the help…..
can i get the pcb layout pls….
i need that…
sie i need the hex file for the coding of master and slave microcontroleers please…. send it…….urgent……
I am a student of Electrical Engineering . I have studied and chosen this project as my final year project, I am keenly interested in it. sir I am stuck with the circuit diagram. What I need is the following:
1)Complete description on how we can interface keyboard and indicator to the 8951 microcontroller
2) Is this keyboard different from the keyboard of computer, if yes How can I design it?
3)You have said that this digital IC tester is used to test any ICs and 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.Here, what part of the IC is tested? please, verify it for me.
4)Regarding to the above comments I wrote I need your response as early as possible (to mean your reply for what I have asked must be in a short period of time).
You can send me all the necessary information via my e-mail
my e-mail is:rockingsunnyrocking@gmail.com
Thank you!
I need the circuit layout on proteus. Can I get it?
please sir, i need a complete write up of the proceedure of constructing this microcontroler logic gate tester kit.
hai sir…could u please tell me d components required or just how much it cost to implement d circuit…
sir,
I ve selected ur project as my mini project
I have some doubts
you have clearly explained how master IC sends info(IC number) to the slave
but how does slave responses to the master
is it possible for us to know if an ic is good or bad using dis tester…??or can v just distinguish btw analog n digital ic…??
On the 8951 IC tester how can you test a 24 pin IC when only 20 pins of the test socket are connected, pins 11,12,13,14 are open.
when the master program and the slave program are compiled to a hex using MCU8051 IDE errors are generated and compiling is unsuccessful, these errors are ,
‘Compiling file: Test1.asm (Master)
Initializing pre-processor …
Warning at 0 in Test1.asm: Missing `END’ directive

These are the listings of the errors of both files.
Can you explain why.

Hey junnaid did you get the correct code if yess plzz send me plzz
I have been browsing online moore than three houirs today, yet
I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made
gopd content aas you did, the internet will be much
more useful than ever before.
I have fun with, ledad to I found exactly what I used to be looking for.
You’ve ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you
man. Have a nice day. Bye
Hello just wanted to give youu a quick heads up. The words iin your post seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post
to let you know. The design look great though!
Hope you get the issuue resolved soon. Kudos
Hello Dear, are you actually visitinng tis web site regularly, if so
afterward you will without doubt obtain good know-how.
I for all tikme emailed this weblog post page to all my associates,
since if like tto read it after that my contacgs will too.
I ssimply couldn’t despart your site prior to suggesting that
I really loved the usual inffo an individual supply on your visitors?
Is gonna be again steadily in order to inspect new posts
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about quick ways. Regards
