Step 3: To Stop the BIST mode, the deserializer BISTEN pin is set Low. The deserializer stops checking the
data and the final test result is held on the PASS pin. If the test ran error free, the PASS output will be High. If
there was one or more errors detected, the PASS output will be Low. The PASS output state is held until a new
BIST is run, the device is RESET, or Powered Down. The BIST duration is user controlled by the duration of the
BISTEN signal.
Step 4: To return the link to normal operation, the ser and des BISTEN input are set Low. The Link returns to
normal operation.
Figure 29 shows the waveform diagram of a typical BIST test for two cases. Case 1 is error free, and Case 2
shows one with multiple errors. In most cases it is difficult to generate errors due to the robustness of the link
(differential data transmission etc.), thus they may be introduced by greatly extending the cable length, faulting
the interconnect, reducing signal condition enhancements (De-Emphasis, VODSEL, or deserializer Equalization).

BER Calculations
It is possible to calculate the approximate Bit Error Rate (BER). The following is required:
• Pixel Clock Frequency (MHz)
• BIST Duration (seconds)
• BIST test Result (PASS)
The BER is less than or equal to one over the product of 24 times the RxCLKIN rate times the test duration. If we
assume a 65MHz RxCLKIN, a 10 minute (600 second) test, and a PASS, the BERT is ≤ 1.07 X 10E-12
The BIST mode runs a check on the data payload bits. The LOCK pin also provides a link status. It the recovery
of the C0 and C1 bits does not reconstruct the expected clock signal, the LOCK pin will switch Low. The
combination of the LOCK and At-Speed BIST PASS pin provides a powerful tool for system evaluation and
performance monitoring.
