Step2. The DS90UB913Q Serializer is woken up through the back channel if it is not already on. The SSO
pattern on the data pins is send through the FPD-Link III to the deserializer. Once the serializer and deserializer
are in the BIST mode and the deserializer acquires Lock, the PASS pin of the deserializer goes high and BIST
starts checking data stream. If an error in the payload 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.
Step3. To stop the BIST mode, the deserializer BISTEN pin is set low. The deserializer stops checking the data.
The final test result is not maintained on the PASS pin. To monitor the BIST status, check the BIST Error Count
register, 0x25 on the Deserializer.
Step4. The link returns to normal operation after the deserailzer BISTEN pin is low. Figure 42 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,
or by reducing signal condition enhancements (Rx equalization).
