3.7.2
Digital Loopback
The digital loopback function is available in software and hardware mode. When selected, the
transmit clock and data inputs (TCLK, TPOS & TNEG) are looped back and output on the RCLK,
RPOS & RNEG pins (
Figure 10
). The data presented on TCLK, TPOS & TNEG is also output on
the TTIP & TRING pins. Note that signals on the RTIP & RRING pins are ignored during digital
loopback.
3.7.3
Remote Loopback
During remote loopback (
Figure 11
) the RCLK, RPOS & RNEG outputs routed to the transmit
circuits and output on the TTIP & TRING pins. Note that input signals on the TCLK, TPOS &
TNEG pins are ignored during remote loopback.
Note:
In data recovery mode, the pulse template cannot be guaranteed while in a remote loopback.
3.7.4
Transmit All Ones (TAOS)
In Hardware mode, the TAOS mode is set by pulling TCLK High for more than 16 MCLK cycles.
In software mode, TAOS mode is set by asserting the corresponding bit in the TAOS Register. In
addition, automatic ATS insertion (in case of LOS) may be set using the ATS Register.
Note: The TAOS generator uses MCLK as a timing reference, therefore TAOS doesn
’
t work in data
recovery mode. In order to assure that the output frequency is within specification limits, MCLK
must have the applicable stability. DLOOP does not function with TAOS active.
