A method and a device for testing an embedded phase-locked loop (PLL)
circuit are disclosed. A first clock signal of a first frequency is
provided to an embedded phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit to be tested by a
tester, so as to generate a PLL clock signal by the embedded PLL circuit
in response to the first clock signal of the first frequency. The PLL
clock signal is inputted to a test circuit along with a second clock
signal of a second frequency. Then, the PLL clock signal is sampled with
the second clock signal of the second frequency to generate a first
sampled signal. The second frequency has a first correlation with the
first frequency. Whether the embedded PLL circuit is in a normal
operation condition is determined according to the first sampled signal.
