The Deserializer GPIO[1:0] set to 00 will bypass the on-chip oscillator and an external oscillator to Serializer
PCLK input is required. This allows the user to operate BIST under different frequencies other than the
predefined ranges.
Step 2: Enable AT SPEED BIST by placing the Serializer into BIST mode.
The deserializer will communicate through the back-channel to configure Serializer into BIST mode. Once the
BIST mode is set, the Serializer will initiate BIST transmission to the Deserializer.
Wait 10 ms for Deserializer to acquire lock and then monitor the LOCK pin transition from LOW to HIGH. At this
point, AT SPEED BIST is operational and the BIST process has begun. The Serializer will start transfer of an
internally generated PRBS data pattern through the high speed serial link. This pattern traverses across the
interconnecting link to the Deserializer. Check the status of the PASS pin; a HIGH indicates a pass, a LOW
indicates a fail. A fail will stay LOW for ½ a clock cycle. If two or more bits fail in a row the PASS pin will toggle ½
clock cycle HIGH and ½ clock cycle low. The user can use the PASS pin to count the number of fails on the high
speed link. In addition, there is a defined SER and DES register that will keep track of the accumulated error
count. The Serializer DS92LX1621 GPIO[0] pin will be assigned as a PASS flag error indicator for the bi-
directional control channel link.

Step 3: Stop at SPEED BIST by turning off BIST mode in the Deserializer to determine Pass/Fail.
To end BIST, the system must pull BISTEN pin of the Deserializer LOW. The BIST duration is fully defined by
the BISTEN width and thus the Bit Error Rate is determined by how long the system holds BISTEN HIGH.
