Deep Local Loopback
The deep local loopback mode is as shown in Figure 14 for Channel A. The configuration is the same for
Channel B. The loopback mode is activated and configured through the MDIO interface. In this loopback mode,
the data is accepted on the low speed side SERDES pins (INA*P/N or INB*P/N), traverses the entire transmit
data path excluding the CML driver, returned through the entire receive data path and sent out through the low
speed side SERDES pins (OUTA*P/N or OUTB*P/N). The TLK10002 device needs some time for lane alignment
before passing traffic. The high speed side outputs on HSTXAP/N or HSTXBP/N pins are available for
monitoring.

Shallow Local Loopback
The shallow local loopback mode is as shown in Figure 15 for Channel A. The configuration is the same for
Channel B. The loopback mode is activated and configured through the MDIO interface. In this loopback mode,
the data is accepted on the low speed side SERDES pins (INA*P/N or INB*P/N), traverses the entire transmit
data path excluding the high speed side SERDES, returned through the entire receive data path and sent out
