DAC38RF84: PRBS test

Part Number: DAC38RF84

Dear all,

one of my AA is testing the DAC38RF84 with his FPGA. In order to test the link he wants to send a PRBS and check that it arrives in the right way.

From the DS it seems that the only way to check the results of a transmission is sampling the bit TESTPATT through the internal mux (ALARM pin).

Do yuo confirm it ? Is there any other simpler test ? For instance is there any register which contains that info ?

The designer were thinkong to use the error counter register present int the device, but it seems more related to a specific protocol IEE1500.

Regards,

Domenico
