- 論文の詳細を見る
This paper describes a BIST circuit for testing SoC integrated multi-channel serializer/deserializer (SerDes) macros. A newly developed packet-based PRBS generator enables the BIST to perform atspeed testing of asynchronous data transfers. In addition, a new technique for chained alignment checks between adjacent channels helps achieve a channel-count-independent architecture for verification of multi-channel alignment between SerDes macros. Fabricated in a 0.13-μm CMOS process and operating at > 500MHz, the BIST has successfully verified all SerDes functions in at-speed testing of 5-Gbps×20-ch SerDes macros.
