Monitoring Device
Internal Signals
The programming of the test register (14) allows monitoring of the
device’s internal signals. Depending on the programming of the test
register bits (Register 15), the following signals are observable on the
DIG_Q[9:0] pins:
TEST[3:0]
0b0000:
0b0001:
0b0010:
0b0011:
Nyquist filter output or interpolator output (normal operation)
FIFO output
Scrambler output
RS encoder output
0b0100:
0b0101:
0b0110:
0b0111:
Interleaver output
M-tuple output
Mapper output
