8.3.15 Built In Self Test (BIST)
An optional At-Speed Built-In Self Test (BIST) feature supports testing of the high speed serial link and back
channel without external data connections. This is useful in the prototype stage, equipment production, in-system
test, and system diagnostics.
8.3.15.1 BIST Configuration And Status
The BIST mode is enabled at the deserializer by pin (BISTEN) or BIST configuration register. The test may
select either an external OpenLDI clock or the internal Oscillator clock (OSC) frequency. In the absence of
OpenLDI clock, the user can select the internal OSC frequency at the deserializer through the BISTC pin or BIST
configuration register.
When BIST is activated at the deserializer, a BIST enable signal is sent to the serializer through the Back
Channel. The serializer outputs a test pattern and drives the link at speed. The deserializer detects the test
pattern and monitors it for errors. The deserializer PASS output pin toggles to flag each frame received
containing one or more errors. The serializer also tracks errors indicated by the CRC fields in each back channel
frame.
The BIST status can be monitored real time on the deserializer PASS pin, with each detected error resulting in a
half pixel clock period toggled LOW. After BIST is deactivated, the result of the last test is held on the PASS
output until reset (new BIST test or Power Down). A high on PASS indicates NO ERRORS were detected. A Low
on PASS indicates one or more errors were detected. The duration of the test is controlled by the pulse width
applied to the deserializer BISTEN pin. LOCK is valid throughout the entire duration of BIST.
See Figure 28 for the BIST mode flow diagram.
Step 1: The Serializer is paired with another FPD-Link III Deserializer, BIST Mode is enabled via the BISTEN pin
or through register on the Deserializer. Right after BIST is enabled, part of the BIST sequence requires bit
0x04[5] be toggled locally on the Serializer (set 0x04[5]=1, then set 0x04[5]=0). The desired clock source is
selected through the deserializer BISTC pin, or through register on the Deserializer.
Step 2: An all-zeros pattern is balanced, scrambled, randomized, and sent through the FPD-Link III interface to
the deserializer. Once the serializer and the deserializer are in BIST mode and the deserializer acquires Lock,
the PASS pin of the deserializer goes high and BIST starts checking the data stream. If an error in the payload (1
to 35) is detected, the PASS pin will switch low for one half of the clock period. During the BIST test, the PASS
output can be monitored and counted to determine the payload error rate.
